Britain prepares for an ass-kicking
 PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND - JANUARY 22: Members of the public walk on the flight deck of the HMS Ark Royal on January 22, 2011 in Portsmouth, England. Thousands of people are expected to visit the famous flagship Portsmouth-based aircraft carrier for the last time, as it is being decommissioned in March after a 25-year service in the Royal Navy.

Interesting story about Tokyo Rose, if accurate. Make an interesting movie. Who was Tokyo Rose? Is the first picture some sort of "Rosie the Riveter" training?

First pic, she's welding, but otherwise, ??.
Wait! That's Lucy looking over her shoulder and that's Ethel on the far right. The woman on the left side in the white swimming cap looks familiar, but can't quite think of her name. Last edited by tcar; 01-25-2011 at 08:53 PM.. |

The link on Tokyo Rose would make a good movie if someone did it right and not hollywoodize it. |

Hopefully no one will read that one person's wildly innacurate op-ed and get the mixed up notion she was anything other than a war criminal.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Rose Last edited by sammyg2; 01-26-2011 at 07:26 AM.. |
