Sail, I really don't think that Sen. Clinton was an option. I agree with you that Sen. Biden is a good choice to join Sen. Obama. However, had the McCain camp not decided to go rovian with their campaign, I think we would have seen a different choice. No one…

Although I agree that the J-team will likely find bupkis, I don't entirely discount the idea of a yeti existing. When my father took a hiatus from law enforcement, he ran a fly-in fishing resort in N. Ontario.
His two float planes, along with many others, were used to evacuate…

USN,

Now I'm feeling guilty for wishing I'd joined the Air Force... : P

As you should! ;-)

Nice post Sail. Although, I have to admit, I may not have the time nor energy to post here once I get to my new digs. Taka's got his work cut out…

sarge, Wow! What a stupid line of reasoning. Using your "logic," would YOU prefer Charles Jenkins as the CiC? Would you have entrusted our military to Julius Rosenberg? He was in the Army after all. As was Lee Harvey Oswald. I guess all three of them would have made good…

Good call ramen. Yep, I am certain that all of Sen. Clinton's supporters will vote for Sen. McCain because he is so much more in line with their beliefs.
That knocking at your door...it ain't NASA.

Even if baseball is brought back to the Olympics, I doubt we'll see any MLB stars playing. The Summer Olympics happen right during the thick of the pennant race. I can't imagine a team allowing it's big stars to leave in order to play in the Olympics. The reason NBA…

Biden wouldn't have been my first choice but he's definitely a choice I can live with. I am pretty certain that the gop will go with romney because the only thing better than one candidate who will say anything and flip on their positions in order to pander to a…

Luc, I always assumed I was a lifer here myself. But...when the opportunity of a lifetime comes knocking...you have to do what you have to do.

USN, I doubt the "family values" voters would approve of an old westpac Sailor like myself.

Alpha, I was told that the AOB/ICR course…

Sushi, Me and the Taka family are headed for to a place where the music and the grass is blue, the Olympians are recognized for their talent more than their nationality and the money is plentiful.

Fellas, Well...as someone who witnessed first hand what liberty was like in Yokosuka on the day the Indy and Kitty Hawk first pulled in, I can safely say that JT will, unfortunately, have plenty of fodder for news. Good luck teaching the crew about life in Japan. I'm out. I…
