Read something interesting in this morning paper about the USS Wasp
visit
here this week.
Seems the sailors have a small 'motorcycle gang' called the 'Wasp
Raiders'
aboard and bring their bikes along so they can terrorize foreign ports.
One Petty Officer 1st Class has a Harley Davidson 2000 Electra Glide.
Seems more like a Club Med cruise!

I don't see a problem with the motorcycles. But, this is disturbing:

"No offence, but I've never heard of Halifax." But E2 Mike Beck, a young
sailor from Philadelphia, said couldn't wait to get off the deck of the
USS
Wasp to explore the city.
"I know you guys probably got some maple syrup," said Beck, who's only
foray
into Canada previously was to Niagara Falls."


Maybe it's just me, but don't some people ever open an atlas, even once or
twice in their lives? I wonder what picture he sees in his head when he
finds out his ship's going to the Mediterranean. "Oh boy - Mexico!"


Here are some of his relatives. Watch what happens when the idiots are
sticking pins in the map.

It's good bet that the undereducated will be electing our leaders soon.
Better be nice to them.


"Is our children learning?"

The uneducated have already voted twice, John. Your CiC's entire campaign
(and stage act) were designed to appeal to the uneducated.
