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.


The 'uneducated' group is still growing. I figure in 15-20 years they will
control the country with a one party system.

I take this to mean that if you met your kid's teachers and they said "Is
our children learning", you would have no reservations at all about those
teachers.

True?

No, not hardly. I was observing your statement of voting twice (for a
republican I take it?) And I was merely stating that they had voted
twice (for a democrat?) previously.

No association with Fox News, but trying to be "fair and balanced"



That has to be the funniest claim ever made on FakeFauxFox.

If you don't watch it, how can you make comments about it?

Plutonium is safe to pick up with gloves. Low energy particles, just the
low energy particles come off a substance with a 1/2 life of 25,000 years.
Most likely a plutonium particle will not pass through a sheet of paper.
Still a bad thing to throw it overboard. We might get Godzilla.

Thanks for that info. I always held that "pick-up-the plutonium" task
against the Navy. Now we're cool.

Just stand in the corner and tremble, Don. Try not to **** yourself. It'll
be over soon.

You're taking Kalif Bill's word for that?
I'd get a second opinion.

Relax. I follow the "trust but verify" rule.
And Bill is right.

He's working overtime to be the biggest jerk in here. Dan better up his
game.

I understand that just a few atoms of plutonium in the lungs can produce
cancer in a relatively short time. I wonder why anyone would handle a piece
of the stuff at all, unless it was somehow contained, wrapped, etc.
