You said it Bill! What a transfer of momentum that is. I think it a testament to the strength of the submarine hull, the engineers who designed her, the training and skills of her crew, and grace of God Almighty that they survived as well as they did. It will be interesting to read up on what occurred as more and more info becomes available. Sub guys, whatever one might think of the nuke mentality, always earn their pay.

Agreed. Thoughts and prayers to all family and friends. Freak accident. Damned shame to lose a sailor that way. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

There is a tequila bar in Playa del Carmen where I am known as 'El Borracho'. Spent a few days there then went to Belize/Guatemala. When I came back a couple of weeks later they STILL remembered me. When I came in they screamed 'El Borracho' just like they do 'Norm' in Cheers. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I'd stick with just the driver's license. Military ID for re-entry perhaps, but not to enter Mexico. Drink some tequila whilst down there.

Has anyone else been following the shenanigans involving Putin, Gazprom, Yukos, Baikal Financial Group, Khardorkovsky, & Yuganskneftegaz? Makes one wonder about how safe it is to invest/do business over there. One wonders what Putin's end game is, as this is sure to dampen any influx of foreign investment dollars into his country. Makes me question his belief in free enterprise and capitalism. Any thoughts from anyone here? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

You have to wonder what was going through his head when he decided to do such a thing. I mean he is (was for some) a well respected conservative columnist. He should have known that doing such a thing would open him up to ridicule/criticism and dampen any effect that any future column he might write has, regardless of how eloquent. Quite sad. I do like Mr. Williams' writing and will continue to read his columns if he keeps writing them, but it's always going to be in the back of my head that he did this. Truly sad.

Eroding the independence of the judiciary would be a bad thing for the nation as a whole.

Boortz today said that Armstrong Williams is being paid US$250,000 to promote the administration's policies. I do not like that at all. Williams in an excellent columnist and I am quite sorry to see him do such a thing. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

...the new commercial Bush, Sr. and Bill Clinton did requesting aid for the tsunami victims? I thought the message was good but it was a poorly done commercial. Not very inspiring. Think it could have been done better. I'll send them some more $$ anyway. That's just me. Saw it tonite for the pre-second time. Thoughts anyone?

It wasn't a comparison...it was more of a role thing...I like Skymama and would never insult her. Give her a hard time - yes. Insult - no. Aunt Esther was cool. Skybitch couldn't kick my ass unless I got on top of my booster seat - it's too close to the ground. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Rilo was Lamont's miscreant/criminal friend. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Let's see...if you're Fred Sanford...and I'm Lamont...Cocheese could be Rilo...and Skymama could be Aunt Esther! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I find your prose most interesting Mr. Olson. In particular the following tidbits and the solid conviction with which you state them: and Given that you state with conviction that the person[sic] who did this to PhillyKev did nothing slanderous in nature, one would naturally assume that you had actually read the letter in question. Have you read the letter in question? If not, how can you defend your hypothesis? Being an afficianado of politics and a man who enjoys reading the Speaker's Corner, I can state with confidence that I never once saw PhillyKev associate either his company or any of its clients with any of the beliefs he espoused in any manner whatsoever. Can you perhaps point to an instance in which he did so? If not, would you be so kind as to explain how his words signed his death warrant? I find this most perplexing. Personal attacks are out of line at all times. How about being nice and editing that so a moderator doesn't grouch you? There's been enough bannings around here as of late and I want to read your response and won't be able to if you were banned for this.

The Navy is the same with regards to citizenship. Your foreign birth would preclude you from going into the intelligence community in all likelihood. Master Chief Ballard or Ms. Kim Chatman @ 502-425-0435 in Louisville would be able to give you any info you're wanting.

Thanks Tuna! Catholic Medical Mission Board isn't listed. http://www.cmmb.org They do some great work in third world countries and are contributing to the relief effort as well. I think they have a 1.something% admin cost. Very well run. Charity Navigator is a good sight to evaluate charities too if anyone is interested.
