There is NO GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

Just how stupid are these people?

Boiling our oceans and killing our fish

But remember... there is no global warming! (my bold)

VILLAS, N.J. - The removal of thousands of dead fish from eight miles of Delaware Bay shoreline is expected to begin Friday after a determination that low oxygen levels in the water likely caused the massive kill.

Water samples taken Thursday "strongly suggest" that extraordinarily low levels of dissolved oxygen - the result of higher air and water temperatures - killed the menhaden, according to state Department of Environmental Protection officials.

The lowest oxygen reading was recorded at Pierces Point, one of the areas hardest hit by the fish kill. Bay water at the time the fish washed ashore was around 85 degrees, approximately 10 degrees above normal for this time of the year.

The warmer water is, the less dissolved oxygen it can hold, Van Fossen said. At night, oxygen levels also may drop significantly because aquatic plants near the water's edge stop their process of photosynthesis.

"If the fish schooled very tightly in shallows . . . they may have simply used up all the oxygen that was available to them," he said.

An early theory of investigators was that predators had driven the menhaden toward shore and in nearby creeks, where they quickly depleted the dissolved oxygen.

Menhaden, which measure from 31/2 inches to 4 inches, are bony fish not usually consumed by humans. They are prey for species such as bluefish, drum, flounder, mackerel, striped bass, and tuna.

Oceans, we should be taking better care of you....

Um... oops?

A massive wildfire that has already burned thousands of acres in the Pinelands and forced the evacuation of residents in two towns likely started this afternoon when an F-16 fighter jet dropped flares as part of a maneuver over a gunnery range, New Jersey National Guard officials said tonight.

Simple.

The military should withdraw from New Jersey. It never attacked America and doesn't want us there.

Bull Biscuits. We need to attack NJ there, so they dont attack us here. They hate us for our freedoms. They all worship the Jersey Devil. Plus most are Flyers fans. And no Timetables - they'll just wait for us to leave, then attack. We should build military bases there. at least bush should be able to find NJ on a map.

John Kerry voted for bombing New Jersey, before voting against it.

Bush was right....we are safer with our military and national guards fighting in Iraq.

What dead fish?

Besides, it gives them that nice spicy flavor!

"DOVER, Delaware - DuPont Co. said Friday that it will not participate in the U.S. Army's plan to dispose of wastewater from the destruction of the deadly nerve agent VX.

The company had been working with the Army since 2003 on a plan to ship wastewater from neutralized VX nerve agent from a chemical weapons depot in Indiana to Deepwater, N.J., to be treated at DuPont's Chamber Works facility and then dumped in the Delaware River.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had signed off on the idea, but environmentalists had fought it, and regulatory approval by New Jersey officials was uncertain, said Nick Fanandakis, DuPont vice president and general manager for chemical solutions."

"Company officials said the economic return for DuPont would have been negligible. DuPont spokesman Anthony Farina said DuPont's relationship with New Jersey officials outweighed any benefit DuPont might have gained from disposing of the VX wastewater.

Gov. Jon Corzine on Friday thanked DuPont, saying "common sense has prevailed."

"This is a decisive victory for the people of New Jersey," Corzine said in a statement. "VX nerve agent is one of the world's most deadly chemical compounds and dumping it in a river never made any sense."" (my bold)

Ah, well then. They weren't going to make any money. Now it makes sense.
