Can someone answer a dumb question?

When POTUS comes on board a Navy ship, Does he have to say,
"Permission to come aboard sir" to the captain?

He should.

The captain of a ship underway in international waters is the last absolute monarch.

I wonder if he will now consider getting his private pilot's license after he gets out of office.

If this had been clinton, he would probably have puked his head off in the first 5 minutes after takeoff. Then after being carried off the airplane he would have taken a shower in the Captain's cabin and returned to grope all the babes while telling everybody what a great President he is. Watching the preening would have been unbearable for those sailors, not to mention the rest of us.

You forgot to mention that he would have found a pile of stones on the flight deck to fashion in the shape of a cross for the KIA's in Iraq.

It is a requirement that you know nothing about anything to be qualified reporter. Journalism is the Education degree of observational occupations.

Well, I guess there's still some debate now about which cable was caught!

I just was reporting what the Fox guy said, but maybe I'll watch the tape to check it myself now.

1,2,3,or 4. A good landing is one you can walk away from. A great landing is one that you'll be able to use the plane again. OK?

"...a tailhook on the back of the plane..."

Well, DUHHHHHHH!!!!! Where else would a TAILHOOK be?

Anway, the speech was great and it make one proud that W is THE MAN. I kept telling my wife that had this been x42, the whole thing would have been a joke. With Bush, you know it's genuine. It's great that he WON the office fair and square. Nice to have the CnC come out and personaly welcome you home.

Ok who cares? The point of the story is VICTORY - the whole thread has been taken over by people debating which wire the plane caught. Geesh
