NASA Administrator Nominee, Em-Bolden-ed

PresidenToor — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 21:27:49 +0000

Just got back from the NASA Administrator and Deputy Administrator nomination hearing held by the Senate Commerce, Science, [And Something Else] Committee. The question and answer session was short and to the point, mainly because the the two ranking Senators, Nelson and Chairman Rockefeller, had to get to 4-5 Health Bill negotiations. I was in the overflow room [...]

Capitol Hill Intern | Excursion Day - Filled With Sadness, Joy, and Silence

PresidenToor — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:15:47 +0000

Today was a day off, Federal Holiday remembering America’s Birthday which is officially tomorrow. The program I am in has a Center at Scott Circle, from here I began my day. And an interesting day it was. I began the day by leaving the Center and heading down Rhode Island Avenue toward M St. I followed M. [...]

Capitol Hill Intern | Week 1

PresidenToor — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 05:30:04 +0000

The first week working on Capitol Hill was amazing. I got lost in the Capitol Building. I saw Senators and Secret Service at the Starbucks with a meeting room in it (and a fire place). Had lunch with the boss(es). Learned a law about the Legislative process - more one can learn in 4 years [...]

For your edification, I don’t plan on blogging everyday… but we’ll see how it turns out. Today all I have to say is that it should be a crime to operate the Metro with no air conditioning in the cars. I’m still reeling just thinking about that experience. And as a piece of advice for all interns [...]

Capitol Hill Intern | Day 1

admin — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 04:56:41 +0000

Day 1 was a pretty humbling experience. I arrived pretty early and wasn’t really allowed into the Madison Office Building until 8:30 a.m. Even then I arrived a full hour and fourty minutes or so early and I have to say the best time, the most surreal time to arrive on Capitol Hill, is at [...]

CTTL: The Evolving Story

PresidenToor — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 00:04:44 +0000

This is a follow up to an article I compiled September of last year regarding our use of Clandestine, Tagging, Tracking, and Locating technologies employed by the U.S. to successfully defeat the insurgents in Iraq. The same success that Bob Woodward claimed was due mostly to the use of a secret technology that rivaled in comparison [...]

Everywhere You Look

Today, June 1st, is the single most important day in world history. You know why? Because General Motors (GM) went into bankruptcy. Oh the horror! What will happen to the investors, the employees, the cars? Oh no, the cars??? Today, June 1st, 400+ students (ages 9 - 22) and their families were abducted by the Taliban after [...]

The Threat

PresidenToor — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:54:53 +0000

Early reports from the South Korean Defense Ministry, U.S. satellite intelligence assets, and Korea’s Institute for Defense Analyses (sourced by South Korean news, and the AP reporting) indicate that North Korea is prepping for another long-range missile test and simultaneously bolstering its coastal defenses along it’s western coast. Along the western coast reports establish that North Korean military has ordered troops there [...]

I’m still here, but not there (v_v) yet…

I’ve been reminded indirectly of sorts, that my blog is rather sparse in posting. Well that’s to be expected. I’ve got to prep for the LSAT approx. 4hrs every other day, had weddings to attend to 2/3 weekends in April, find an internship in D.C. this summer (a full-time job in itself), and yes show [...]
