Ironically, the cement was part of a program instituted by the Russian Air Force to create good weather on holidays near the nation’s capital. A dozen planes were dispatched to drop silver iodide, liquid nitrogen, and cement powder into the clouds. The project aimed to promote rainfall that would dry the atmosphere prior to important dates.
Weather modification is nothing new. Many programs to increase rainfall or reduce the size of hailstones are in place here in the United States. Most of these programs are centered in the Midwest and Desert Southwest where water availability is a concern.

There is some debate, however, around the effectiveness of such programs. One of the most famous weather modification programs carried out by the United States was Project Stormfury, which ran from 1962 to 1983. During this time, hurricanes were seeded with silver iodide in an effort to reduce the strength of storms that were close to making landfall. The program was discontinued in the 1980’s, as there was little evidence to determine if the program had any real impact on the strength of the storms.
What is your thought? Should we continue to investigate ways to control when it rains? How would you react to a three–foot brick of cement in your roof?

And in L.A. the illegals throw bowling balls off the freeway overpasses. We're all doomed. |

I'm a proud American patriot who doesn't like unwelcome criminals from south of the border breaking into my house and illegally stealing my property.
I've done two tours of duty to protect the land I love and now I'm sworn to the mission of protecting our borders from foreign criminals and terrorists who choose to use my land as their toilet. I will do everything humanly possible to make sure illegals are never given amnesty for the crimes they've committed.
You want citizenship? Move to the back of the line just like my grandfather did. Then learn English FLUENTLY and get a skill so that you can contribute something to this great land. Mowing lawns and selling oranges on the freeway doesn't qualify, nor does selling drugs or prostituting yourself.
Come here legally, we'll welcome you with open arms. Otherwise America will treat you like the criminal scum that you are! If you're an illegal, don't say I didn't warn you because despite what Bush has told you, your life is about to become a living hell. Electrify the fence!
Viva La Migra!
