General Douglas MacArthur signs as Supreme Allied Commander during formal surrender ceremonies on the USS MISSOURI in Tokyo Bay. Behind General MacArthur are Lieutenant General Jonathan Wainwright and Lieutenant General A. E. Percival.

The Kamikaze pilot was uninsured, and three shops were not available to provide bids, hence the dent remains.

Just in: John Kerry (Who starred in How I Won The Vietnam War for the Viet Cong) bragged to a group of Jewish voters that when he visited Israel in 1991 he was taken for a flight in a jet trainer by an Israeli Air Force colonel who handed Kerry the controls when the craft was "five feet off the ground" then allowed Kerry to "do a figure eight and a loop" so the Senator could view Israel upside down.

Kerry doing aerobatics? The same guy who falls off his snowboard, falls off his bicycle?

Is he taking enough medication or too much?

Evening Phil Dragoo

LOL!

ROTFL. The BEST one yet. I saw that story and am now convinced for sure that Kerry is a Legend in his own mind.

Thanks for the link to the Petrof Bay. I got sea sick just looking at the pictures of her rolling in the storm.

Great links and photos Phil, thanks. As for Kerry and his little joy ride, you're right Sam, he's a legend in his own mind. What a freak of nature he is!

Oh it was horrible.
I hear lots of 'splosions, and watch as my team runs in circles like scared chickens.
After much sighing an docntemplation, I decided I'd TK them just for the heck of it after that.
It's pretty bad when most of the opposing team says, "Dude, that's ****ed up. We'll just leave now."

Sometimes reading fast through a thread gets to be... educational.

MacArthur may have dissed Wainwright earlier in the war, but that man sure knew a good photo op.

"The John Kerry Imaginary Air Force" LOL!
