Just between you and me...

"..I didn't hear those words, so I don't know if it is truly Rush's view. Maybe it is. But Rush has talked about President Bush's ability to use misdirection against the Democrats, who by the way, want to use the issue of "no WMDs" to impeach him. And I think President Bush is fully capable of using it against the enemies of this country too. But I repeat myself..."

That's a ferociously good point. And it is one I will cling to. Because the president has surrounded himself with some very competent and talented people. His place in the history books will be earned if they don't let us down.

BTW I believe that sub, U-505, is on display at Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago: http://www.msichicago.org/exhibit/U505/

I agree. I've been there and absolutely loved going through it. Yes, they actually bring you into the sub, to view it from inside! The only un-authentic thing is that there are no "vaporous" cheeses and sausages slung from every available cranny, to get them through the long voyage until the "milch cow" sub re-fueled, and re-supplied them!
The torpedoes still stick in my mind. They are a wee bit bigger than they were in my adolescent imagination! Anyone visiting Chicago should see that... right after they visit the Futures exchanges... and get ripped on cabfare at least once!

Thak you for your very kind comments Pickrell.

Sorry, just got to this thread, after finding your Freeper page from a post you made on some totally unrelated thread tonight.

Yowza. And I don't use that word lightly.

You are now on my "regular, required reading list."

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. I've recently tried color coding on my home page, to distinguish essays from satire, humor and comments. I hope you find some of them worthwhile!
