  • Commissioning of USS Ronald Reagan

    Wooohooo! The newest and best nuclear aircraft carrier is here, the USS Ronald Reagan! What an amazing ship!

    I wish it many years of successful kicking ass around the world in defense of freedom!
    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
    G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum"

    Great... how many more ships are we going to name after bad presidents?

    And with my luck, next year they'll commission a new attack submarine... the USS Clinton... long, round, and full of seamen...

    Don't you think it's ironic that the US has named an airport and now an aircraft carrier after the man who tried to break up all the air-traffic-controller unions?
    To us, it is the BEAST.

      I wish it many years of wandering around in a continual daze while wielding enormous power.

          I remember what this country was like before his presidency, and I know what it was like after he left office. He healed this country, allowed us to feel good about ourselves and our capabilities once again.

          He was a Great President.
          No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

            You mean, like feverish man stumbling around your neighborhood with a minigun?

            We may be able to arrange something, just for you.

                  I was thinking of a Hitler reference in my first post, but decided against it...

                      Would a Mussolini reference have been better?

                            Your Welcome! But I must thank you, just knowing I can spread joy to at least one person makes my day so much brighter.
