Can I call my boat "George W.Bush" ? ? ?
 
I think Bush is the greatest president EVER and I want to honor him by
naming my boat like him !

So long as you don't boat anywhere near the Persian Gulf why not???:-)

Been busy today so I'll keep the Krause lie of the day short.

This lying simpleton, after it became clear he was losing a thread
where he was displaying his usual lack of patriotism much less gratitude
for the brave men & women out there risking their everything, to keep
the likes of him safe, he just reverts to type.

But seriously can you imagine this uneducated union thug now claims
he is reviewing universities!!! & wait for it he poo poos the
engineering course!!! this from a lying uneducated union thug who
couldn't use a toaster without a union authorised electrician in attendance.

I've included just one of the followup responses but it was such a
bald faced lie it even embarrassed the rejoinders:-)


I have visited West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy and
the sub training facility at Groton. Some years ago, I actually did look
over descriptions of some of the course material at Annapolis and the
c.v.'s of some of the faculty. I'm sure the engineering course material
is fairly rigorous, though it is more "trade-oriented" and did not look
up to MIT or CalTech standards. I mean, if your goal is to be an
aeronautical engineer, you're going to get better training at MIT or
CalTech or at any of a large number of other engineering schools. I
thought the faculty academic credentials no better than what is found at
a typical smaller four year public university. The military academies
turn out military officers with an education, not highly educated
military officers. But that is their purpose, eh?

Holy molly, grandma, put on your high boots.


Harry Krause, admitted graduate in the humanities with a degree in

English
is hereby qualified to critique the engineering curriculum of not

only West
Point, but also that of the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy and
compare it to that of MIT and CalTech.


The above paragraph is a classic.


You missed your calling Harry.

That could be a serious mistake.

Your boat might then refuse to follow the established protocols for
meeting and passing situations with other vessels at sea.

There is no doubt that it would display improper and/or confusing
signals.

Naming your boat George W. Bush might inspire you to begin peering
through the portlights of your neighbors in the marina to make sure all
romantic encounters were
between one man and one woman, (missionary style only, of course) as
well as to monitor everybody's activities to make sure that nothing
"evil" could be afoot.

Most of your crew would jump ship at the conclusion of any leg of your
voyage, but there's no doubt that the uninformed dock walkers would be
impressed with the howitzer on your flybridge and some would think you
looked "nautical" in that admiral's cap with far too much "scrambled
egg" on the visor.

Lastly, you could expect your expenses to skyrocket out of control. A
routine visit to the Marine Supply Store would require yet another
30-year mortgage on your home. Sadly enough, despite spending at record
levels, you would discover that so much of your wealth was diverted to
the profits taken by your so-called "friends" at the chandlery that the
vessel George W. Bush would still lack some of the most basic
essentials for a safe and trouble free voyage.

There would be one advantage. When you pulled up to the fuel dock, you
could simply raid the office, shoot the attendant, and take as much as
you wanted. (Thereby making your financial future, if not your vessel,
more secure).

Go for it! Hell, there's boats named after Reagan (at least one that I
know of).

Why not? I called my first boat "Slime bucket".

Go for it!

My brother had a boat he named "President Nixon". Every time he took the
family and the boat to the launch ramp, the engine wouldn't start. When
asked why it was named the "Nixon", my nephew, about 10 at the time, said,
"Because they both let down the American people."
