  2. The Western canon!?! Those people are monsters. Next thing you know, there will be drive-by sonnets, unregulated iambic pentameter, and possibly even the Socratic Method.
  3. Palestinian Arabs are now in their 3rd or 4th generation raised in a culture dominated by sociopathic hatred. There's no point to expecting rational thought or behavior. Gaza in particular illustrates their reality. Gaza borders two vastly larger and more powerful nations, with wildly different cultures, religions, etc. The Arabs in Gaza have chosen to antagonize both neighbors.
  4. Money. First to the package can mean first to sell the food to the highest bidder.

  6. Heck, in the late 80s/early 90s, American leftists were perturbed by CNN's tendency to present two sides to a story, and not merely present the DNC response to news stories. Back then, I couldn't watch any of the Big 3 news channels (ABC, CBS, NBC) but could watch CNN.

  9. Rock and roll! USS Santa Fe (CL-60), typhoon encountered in the South China Sea, 1944;
  10. I believe the rampant reliance on psychotropics tells us that they aren't sheltered, they are self-harming via cognitive dissonance. If the Rs had any brains whatsoever, they'd run TV and Internet commercials nonstop quoting Clinton, Obama, Schumer, etc. on the subject of illegal immigration.
  11. Supposedly Genghis Khan tallied 40M, so more than Stalin, fewer than Mao.
  12. That pic really shows the impact of the Tomcat's length on deck space.
  13. THIS is what I'm talking about! Phantoms, Intruders, and Corsairs out the wazoo, ready to adjust some attitudes. USS Midway, San Francisco Bay, 1972;
  14. Kinda seems analogous to the USian cyberwarfare stance; too much offense, not enough defense. Of course, if DOD relegated domestic drone detection and defense to DHS, we're kinda doomed. DHS is obsessed with internal enemies rather than external. Only way DHS will take foreign drone surveillance seriously is if someone convinces them the drones are being operated by Jesuit priests or something. I did stumble across a Youtube video about building a lightweight drone detection radar system. The EM spectrum is not my thing, but the guy sounded somewhat credible. And the Hampton Roads area is so saturated with various EM energies, adding a 24/7 drone detection radar system would be a drop in the bucket.

  16. USS Sumner (DD-333), 1920s. I don't recall ever seeing a pic of a Clemson-class destroyer before. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be on one after 1941...
