Ride with the Blue Angels
An Atlanta Journal reporter gets to ride in an F/A-18.

It always seems that the folks least likely to benefit/experience fully, something like that are the ones that end up going.

Giving a liberal a ride and having the guy smack his gum in the mic, I would have hit the passenger eject button on accident.

Mul,
How the heck did you get 5K posts registering after me?

Reporters, radio DJs, etc are the people most likely to talk about how great it was. Huge free publicity. Reporting to a couple of hundred guys on PPOT isn't a good return on the investment for the Navy.

You have more than 5000 posts in 9 months. Assuming you spend just 10 minutes per post - thinking about what you are typing and actually typing it - which is probably the bare minimum. Works out to 92.5 hours per month. Just think what you could do with that time Mul, if you had a life???

. .. and Dottore, just think of what you could have done, rather than attempting to shame Mul.
I know, I know, you really thought you had a shoot at Mul. . . thought you might have a better chance propagating Neo-lib views if you could knock him back a bit. --ah, so much to learn.

No Island 911 -- you are quite right.
Knocking Mul was not time well spent. There is little to be gained from this. In future I shall be more circumspect. I don't get to indulge in this forum as frequently as some of you. So when I do, I just say what I think. But somehow I am certain that Mul deserves some grief. If not in this life - then certainly in the next.

Look for the humor in his post, and you won't take away so much grief from them.
.. . well, except those posts which rock your Neo-Lib world.
