Pitbull Owners Blast Palin
Comparison ‘Offensive,’ Dog Fanciers Complain

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who famously compared herself to a pitbull
in her vice-presidential acceptance speech at the Republican National
Convention, appears to have antagonized a key voting bloc in the
upcoming election, the nation's pitbull owners.

While Gov. Palin's assertion that the only difference between a hockey
mom and a pitbull was "lipstick" drew a loud ovation from the Republican
faithful in St. Paul, it raised the ire of the Pitbull Anti-Defamation
League, a powerful association of pitbull fanciers who monitor the
portrayal of pitbulls in the media.

"As someone who has owned pitbulls for the past twenty years, my jaw
dropped," said Carol Foyler, the group's executive director. "Most of
us are thinking the same thing: enough is enough."

Ms. Foyler said that for pitbull owners who have grown weary of their
prized dogs being defamed and mistreated, Gov. Palin's wisecrack was the
last straw: "We're all like, first the Michael Vick thing, and now this."

Tracy Klugian, an irate pitbull owner from Buffalo, New York, echoed Ms.
Foyler's sentiments: "I can think of many differences between pitbulls
and Gov. Palin - for starters, pitbulls don't try to get their
ex-brothers-in-law fired."

With Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill) and John McCain (R-Ariz) fighting for
every last vote, a coveted voting bloc like pitbull owners could very
well decide the 2008 election, political insiders believe.

While Gov. Palin was not available for comment on the pitbull
controversy, a spokesperson for the McCain-Palin ticket offered this
official statement: "Gov. Palin does in fact have one thing in common
with a pitbull: neither is capable of answering questions from reporters."

I can understand getting wrapped up in a cross post once in a while, usually
because one neglects to notice the groups in the header.

But, starting a new thread and purposely cross posting it is basically
giving everyone here the finger.

My interests?

You sound like you think this is a boating newsgroup. It isn't, and you
know it.

If you can stomach it, read through the last few hundred posts of
Reggie, and enlighten us as to how many of them revealed any details
about his boat or anything out of the purely ordinary he knows about
boats and boating.

Go ahead, make my day.

And then do that with the rest of the Little Schitts.

This is an open forum here. It could use some new blood.

I found the cockpit control station very useful on my 25' Parker when
docking and considerably less useful but still usable when underway
ahead. I can say a lot more about that subject and how they work on
different boats, but...I won't.

I've never owned a boat with secondary controls other than upper/lower
helm stations but you see quite a few serious fishing boats with
controls in the cockpit. I'm guessing that they find it useful for
backing down on a large fish when there are only a couple of guys on
board. There are also some motor yachts which have very poor
visibility aft and I would certainly want a second set of controls for
backing into a slip.

Regarding our friend HK, I think we both know that he has *no*
interest in discussing boats other than his own. There is plenty of
evidence to support that conclusion.

The Navigator we had was a perfect candidate for another set of controls.
In fact, if I had kept it and did more traveling in it, I probably would
have had a set installed on the rear of the flybridge .... on the section
that overhung the cockpit. I had absolutely no visibility of the back of
the boat from the upper station.

I wouldn't bother with a helm. I'd just have controls for the
transmissions and engine throttles.

Heh. I had the same, except her name was Mrs.E.

As I mentioned before, the Navigator had absolutely no visibility of the
rear of the boat from the upper (flybridge) station.
So, when backing into a slip, particularly one I was not familiar with, she
would stand in the back of the cockpit with her arms held up above her head.
I could just see her hands. As I backed the boat in, she would direct me
by pointing in the direction the back of the boat had to move in order to
get into the slip without hitting a dock or another boat.

That boat had a fairly wide beam at over 15'. The slip we first had for
it (in Scituate) had finger slips on each side.
When the boat was in the slip, there was six inches of space between the
hull and the slip on each side.
On windy days, it made it a bit interesting getting it backed in.

This subject is of interest to me because I am seriously thinking of another
boat. The one I bought is ok, but it's not what I really want or like.

I've searched high and low, looking at different boats, styles, performance
criteria, features, etc. and for some reason nothing really satisfies my
personal interests. Then, I realized why. Every boat I consider, I am
subconsciously comparing it to the Navigator.

So, maybe the thing to do is to get another Navigator. The one I had was a
"4800 Classic" which is 52'8" LOA. It was a bit too big to easily
single-hand, which is the main reason we sold it. (Plus, at the time, we
also had the 36 GB).

Navigator also makes a 44' version that has a layout that I actually like
better than the one we had.

But first, I have to try to sell the Mainship to free up the slip.

Something to think about this winter, I guess.

We go through that process with the trailer. The first couple times there
was a lot of yelling, directed at me. Now we have a deal. She doesn't talk,
only hand signals. Works pretty well.

I've never tried to pilot a boat larger than my 21' Proline. I'll probably
go to my deathbed never having done so. It's probably just as well.

You like the boat you just purchased, you don't like the boat you just

Don't underestimate yourself. In many ways, piloting, docking and close
quarter maneuvering of a twin screw, 52 foot boat with diesel engines and
big props is easier than a 21', outboard powered open boat, particularly in
wind or current.

It just causes more damage if you hit something.

But first, I have to try to sell the Mainship to free up the slip.

Something to think about this winter, I guess.

You don't like Sarah, you like Saeah, you don't like Sarah.........

You like the boat you just purchased, you don't like the boat you just
purchased.........

You sold a boat you liked, youi now regret it...........

No offense but a fair question......who made major decicions at the
(reportedly successfull) company you owned?

How do you make decisions?


Taint yur business.

It's life's experiences in process.
I have no trouble making decisions. Some turn out to be wrong, some right.

I've never tried to pilot a boat larger than my 21' Proline. I'll probably
go to my deathbed never having done so. It's probably just as well.



Don't underestimate yourself. In many ways, piloting, docking and close
quarter maneuvering of a twin screw, 52 foot boat with diesel engines and
big props is easier than a 21', outboard powered open boat, particularly in
wind or current.

It just causes more damage if you hit something.

Amen.

From a story in National Lampoon, ca. 1974, set in a nightclub with a
decadence theme:

"He dances like a spastic!"

"I resent that!" said a spastic.

We eagerly await the pictures so we can properly critique it. I ran
across this one in Crisfield, MD last September and thought it might
be something like yours:
