And, when you think about it, that's not remotely anything like a qualification for having a ship named after you.

John McCain is considered a war hero in large part because he got shot down. JFK managed to crash into another ship on the open ocean.

I think the naming of the ship was a nice gesture but I doubt random insane people will be discouraged from being insane by it.

EDIT: @Dids' video. Not the Coulter gonna Coult thing.

Yeah, I think that's the best one on this topic.

You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn't black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing.

You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, **** it, I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing.

I'm tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I'm trying to do the right thing, and that's where I'm going with this.

Roy McDonald...no youtube video, though, as far as I know.

I've heard a couple guys speak very emotionally about it.

I heard the air force was holding a training mission that morning in which commercial air planes were hijacked by terrorists and were going to crash into the white house and stuff. Is that true iyo?

We have some separate threads for such gold. You can even still post in one of them!

I'm gonna say "no."

[ikestoys]

People forget that the whole idea of hijacking planes to crash them into things was pretty novel at the time. Only thing I can really remember similar to it is a poor Tom Clancy book

Moments after delivering his CPAC speech, Andrew Breitbart goes on a bizarre drunken rant outside the hotel in front of a peaceful Occupy protest and has to be hauled away.
