Steamed

[Eagle1]

Oddly enough, this burning ship, modern for its day, was a sign of the beginning of the end for the old Navy and the beginning of a whole new world order.

And its designer played a major role in opening doors to that future.

But the bear died.

Sort of explained here.

I think I'll just question their sanity now

[Lex]

I'm past questioning anyone's patriotism. Over at the Huffington Post, blogger Martin Lewis writes an open letter asking for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to relieve the President of his constitutional authority as commander-in-chief:

General Pace - you have the power to fulfill your responsibility to protect the troops under your command. Indeed you have an obligation to do so.

You can relieve the President of his command.

Not of his Presidency. But of his military role as Commander-In-Chief.

You simply invoke the Uniform Code Of Military Justice.


Umm. No. We don't get to "simply" do that. You don't really want us to get in the swing of deciding who ought, and ought not be allowed to exercise civilian control of the military. It's lunacy to recommend it. I don't mean "lunacy" like "that's stupid," although, yeah: It is.

I mean lunacy like "that's crazy." Certifiably. Off the hook. Jibbering. Tending towards the straight jacket.

And, yes. Yes this would be a good time to step away from the keyboard. And up your meds.

Ya' kook.

Update: Note to Lex: Always check what the other kids have been posting first. Meh.
