    Except that GHW Bush doesn't appear to be dead yet. And, even after he is honestly dead, do we *really* want to name a warship after "Read My Lips" Bush?

    yes, he's an honourable man that served his nation well.

    Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

      True, but he almost died when he was in uniform. Serving his country. Putting his life on the line to protect the USA. Even ended up with the distinguised flying cross. While you, on the other hand, are a yellow-bellied whiner-boy who wants everyone else to do your fighting for you.

              Absolutely. Luckily, I ignored the metric system. ;P

                      Back when I was designing games, there was a convention in San Diego. One of the Petty Officers on board the Enterprise really liked my game so he invited me and the rest of my staff to have a tour with him - we went lots of places the public never gets to see and I actually got to sit for in the command chair for about two seconds.

                      I drove two hours just to visit US “New Jersey” battleship couple of months ago. I also had the pleasure to set in the captain chair for a while. They don’t give you to fire from the main caliber though. :sigh:
