there’s a new kind of dentist available, trained in the third world and unlicensed in the US–you can find them all over Detroit. They do their work with ether and a dremel tool. Fillings, bridges, and crowns are hand-molded epoxy.

I liked zumwalt, personally. maybe he wrecked the navy. it looked pretty wrecked to begin with. The f-4 was the most deadly looking plane ever. a 280Z with power windows. but it wasn’t built for an actual battle zone but some science fiction battle zone. the american military seems to think in terms of domination–dominate the skies and you won’t have to actually dogfight. But that requires a lot of cooperation from the enemy. I remember an art buchwald column of the era that cited a plane flown by the North Vietnamese that couldn’t be shot down by our supersonic jets because it was too slow. He had a lot of fun with that, imagining the air force requisitioning a thousand kitty hawk era biplanes so the pilot, lying across the wing, could engage the enemy with a pellet gun.

I see everyone is having fun today. I’m just reduced to banging my head against my desk.

I really should remember to bring a radio with me tomorrow so I can catch hours 2 & 3 at the Fortress. But I’ll probably forget.

Mama’s washing machine has been running WAY TOO SMOOTHLY… so she’s calling the repair man to the laundry room to give him a piece of her mind.

So enjoy when Hal “visits”…AND, Patrick Kennedy IS so “spot on”…my heroes will be those who stand up loud and proud and take on our awful and inept paid for media both on the telly and in print! It became painfully obvious during the BUSH YEARS that an informed citizenry incapable of critical thinking was preferred by many in POWER…especially those in the lunatic right…easier to dump religion and fundamentalist claptrap down the throats (or “jam it down” as they seem to prefer)…the “MEDIA” we have today facilitates this position continually!!!! Just two sad examples: Chris Matthews and David Gregory (not worth mentioning Faux News)…tune in to PBS/NPR for half a chance an unbiased reporting in detail….

406 I like your analysis, but it reminds me of why the Navy bought
the F-4 Phantom jet back in the late 50s… with no gun, ’cause all
aerial combat would be done beyond visual range with missiles. Then
came Vietnam, and ancient obsolete MiGs were beating us, because
they could dogfight, and we couldn’t. Like you said, we’re betting
on a slender reed. Originally 36 Zumwalts were to be built, now I
think just two, or none… and ya got the numbering screwed up,
the next DDG shouldn’t be 1000… and most Zumwalt era sailors hated
Zumwalt, said he wrecked the Navy.

364: “….Do you know how many viewings of “The Rocketeer” I’m going to have to go through to restore Dalton’s badassery in my mind…..”

i do know that according to massa, the word rockatier describes the amount of energy released by a coliseumload of soldiers from his yearbook. – good luck getting past that word.

404. Daisy dukes can be worn with anything! But to be honest, you’d be much more likely to find me in jeans, boots, and a cowboy hat. Someone I recently befriended on FB told me my pics contain more cowboy hats then they’d seen in their whole life… lol
