Dreadnought is a poster at FRee Republic and at Lucianne. He is one of the good ones! He posts the most interesting articles.
Of late my entire life seems to be cloaked in a dreadnought of disappointment, failure, bleak outlooks, the links of life’s chain are heavier and slowing the ability to fight back,.
Hillary Clinton has the shape of a dreadnought minus the guns.
It was 30 at 6 this AM again, and it is 50, with a chilly breeze now-but no snow...
Obama is totally clueless,
No matter what he may say-
When playing poker with Vlad
It will never go his way
Russia brings out cannon
To back up what it steals-
Obama’s phony dreadnought
Came with training wheels
So the cold war begins again,
And likely to last for awhile-
Till we have someone in office
With some experience and style...

Admiral of the Fleet John Arbuthnot “Jacky” Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher,[3] GCB OM GCVO (25 January 1841 – 10 July 1920) was a British admiral known for his efforts at naval reform. He had a huge influence on the Royal Navy in a career spanning more than 60 years, starting in a navy of wooden sailing ships armed with muzzle-loading cannon and ending in one of steel-hulled battlecruisers, submarines and the first aircraft carriers. The argumentative, energetic, reform-minded Fisher is often considered the second most important figure in British naval history, after Lord Nelson.
He was a driving force behind the development of the fast, all-big-gun battleship, and chaired the Committee on Designs which produced the outline design for the first modern battleship, HMS Dreadnought.
It's also the name of a Vancouver folk-punk band that also does Celtic, polkas and sea shanties...here's one of the latter about the clipper ship by that name...
