In the "things-we-want-to-happen" news category of the day comes this press release from an online media source:
On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare , New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. [Supreme Court Justice David H.] Souter's home.
Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.
The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged".
. . . "This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."
Clements' plan is to raise investment capital from wealthy pro-liberty investors and draw up architectural plans. These plans would then be used to raise investment capital for the project. Clements hopes that regular customers of the hotel might include supporters of the Institute For Justice and participants in the Free State Project among others.

I hope that these people succeed in condeming the august justice's home for more tax revenue for the town! It would indeed be sweet justice.
Is there any constitution loving developers out there that would like to make themselves and the citizens of Ogden a few bucks by coming up with some nifty money making schemes for the little big guy on nine's house and those of his posse of go along to get along sycophants? Surely the citizens of Oz would be infinately better off if the gang of six's homes were condemned and turned into more tax revenue to fuel their grandious dreams of empire.
Did ya'll catch the editorial cartoon in yesterday's SubStandard? It was par for the course for the inferior rag. In the continuing saga of the so called news paper's weeping over Oz losing the eminent domain thing on the WalMart project - they now have taken to demonizing the poor but honest citizens below Wall that were targeted by this immoral and sleazy scheme to force them out of their homes so the little big guy on nine could make a couple of million on their backs to shore up the failing business empire that he is attempting to build as a monument to his super sized ego. (Napolean complex anyone?)
The editorial that went with it was equally biased (as usual), and showed the utter contempt that the Suits of Sandusky have for the poor citizen schleps of the land of Oz. (Rudi, I'm a little let down that you missed this one)
A couple of people at the meeting at the station the other night were moaning the loss of the old Ogden. I would like to add the greatest loss of all was the loss of Abe Glassman as the editor and publisher of the once fine and proud Ogden Standard Examiner. Since he and his heirs left the news paper it no longer is a credible news organization. It now is mearly a grubby little money machine for a bunch of of out of town investors (the Suits of Sanduscky) who care only for the bottom line and not for the people of Oz.
Speaking of the late Abraham Lincoln Glassman, I would like to point out that his daughter Wilda Gene Glassman Hatch died last week. She was the last great publisher of the Standard Examiner as well as an outstanding citizen of Ogden. She spent her well previledged life in the service of others. She put her considerable fortune where her mouth was and she made a profound difference in the life's of many people.
So when you get all misty eyed about the long gone past glory days of the wonderful land of Oz that we all love, also remember those great people of integrity that built Ogden into what it was. The Glassmans, Eccles, Brownings, Wattis, and many other people of great integrity and love of the common people. They were true leaders, builders and statesmen, not wanna be pretender midgets like we have at the wheel of city government today...
Hear, hear....bravo!
I'd expected legislative action in a few state legislatures across the country to correct the USSC's blunder in Kelo, but check this out:
