The Bridge to NOWHERE! (except prosperity...)

They wanted to build a bridge between two islands in Alaska and it was nipped in the bud by many factions, acting in total ignorance, including the usual inept watchdog groups. The real Bridge to Nowhere is the Golden Gate Bridge, connecting a little hole in the wall, San Francisco, with a wealthy burb to the north. Nobody stopped that one. The Ketchikan bridge could save the 48's ungrateful butts from economic disaster. The Gravina Access Project. The Gravina Island Highway, or so I'm tolled, would have connected to the island where some of a former Alaska governor's relatives live. But it's as they say, everything's relative. And then another governor, Palin, simply re-directed the money for the bridge to other projects.

Ever wonder how your tax dollars are being invested? Or NOT invested. You have to spend money to make money. Between the Liberals who are throwing bones to the poor to keep them from revolting, to the Conservatives who are actually pro anarchy, removing all vestages of governmental scrutiny it's a circus of political amateurs who never want the other side to get credit for anything and so do nothing.

The only way to do anything is to do it in spite of Government, not because of it. Two bridges are needed, the Gravina bridge and another connecting Ketchikan to Hyder and Canada. Then a railroad is needed to connect Ketchikan and Gravina Island industrial and commerce city (yet to be built) with Toronto and New York City and therefore to Europe and all Atlantic commerce. I think the money community with 40 trillion dollars doing very little at the moment would jump to finance such a project. Then the voters should tell the Democants and the Repugnantkins to go home and elect an independent governor and senator.

you pretty much just wasted 10 minuets of your life man

@lukakiwi hey kiwi I had 2 give it a shot. at least it's off my conscience. ten minutes's a small price to pay. I did get something out of it; it made me realize how pork barrel - as they like 2 put it - the Verizano Narrows bridge is. but not near as porky as those two honkin' bridges out of Hong Kong. If they had run a train from Shanghai to that Russian town on the Arctic Ocean instead, they would have lit up Asia when it crossed the Trans Siberian Express line. stay in touch.

p h a.

I have reason to believe someone has hacked the dgo826 channel and is using it unbeknownst to the person who has that channel.

There also seems to be an ulterior motive in the wording the hackers used and what they said in the comment is not what they meant. What they meant to do, apparently, was to amuse themselves. It will backfire on them.

You are one dumb punk. Have you ever been to Ketchikan? I wish I could meet you some where and kick you smart punk ass. The people of Ketchikan would love nothing better that too put your smart ass in a crab pot and let you sink to the bottom. Talk about something important like how to make more jobs in the usa. Oh yeah building a bridge might bring in some much needed jobs. Wow smart ass now what. Its Ketchikan problem that Katrina came the local goverment of New Orleans could listen.

[paulhallart]

I've lived in Ketchikan.

I'm answering whomever wrote this sniveling pathetic comment (after seeing djo826's videos, I don't think it's any of them, but some hacker). Give me ur address, kid. I'll send u a quarter so u can buy a life. The bridge would create a couple of million jobs. It would start an industrial hub that would produce a MINIMUM 10% boost in the US GDP. It would be the beginning of a US-Canadian port that would rival Singapore. The international airport would be a global hub.

[paulhallart]

@djo826 Now about Katrina -- that was a Republican problem; they were too cheap 2 save lives. While the Dems just sat there.

[paulhallart]

year round population, scoot. yeah. maybe it's bad enough as it is. right reason, wrong reason, whatever reason. It's the cradle of life for the planet, industry would just mess it up.

Our whole interstate system in the lower 48 were brought to us by a couple of Germanics: Eisenhower and Hitler.

Now in France they built a hellova bridge over this huge river valley. We'll see what that does for them. Must have been Bridge-it Bardot.

[scooterak]

Population....WRONG! How many people come to Ketchikan each year? Take a guess before you look it up. Ooooh, Thats why they need a bridge. Now, I will have another drink.

[paulhallart]

I need one to forget the killer misers who destroyed the United States with their penny-pinching lethargy. I mean, scoot, max nix to me. Whatever. Letem build their damned bridges in the middle of the desert somewhere. a nation of deadbeats dressed up for the party in their black Halloween costumes. Then there's the Miniapolis bridge that collapsed with a bunch of cars on it, because the Lethocrats and Repugnantcans were too cheap to fix it. Ebenezer Scrooge without 180's.

[scooterak]

Have another drink.
