Put Howard Dean or Kerry in a flight suit, put them on the ship, and tell them this will be an opportunity to counter the President's flight to the Abraham Lincoln. Then let them bloviatee, which should surely sink it. Solves two problems at once.

The Atlantic site, however, would be a marine sanctuary, with diving and bottom fishing banned, to restore over-stressed species such as the snowy grouper.

Heaven forfend anybody actually have any fun... Gotta protect that snowy grouper...

We as a State must be willing to sacrifice for the snowy grouper.

Navy pilot Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Denny Earl, with both legs shattered by North Vietnamese anti-aircraft fire, successfully lands his A-4 "Skyhawk" attack plane aboard the Oriskany in the Gulf of Tonkin, 20 October 1967. The nylon emergency barrier assures the wounded pilot that he will not have to make more than one attempt to land his plane.

Would someone please call Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's office and have them check her calendar for any military visits next year ? That would be an ignominious way to leave this cruel world....

If the can't get the Oriskany, they can bid on this one:

I hear the French don't have much use for the DeGualle.

Why not bid on the French aircraft carrier?

It's not being used anyway...

I hope MS gets the Oriskany. That would make one heck of a fishing hole.
It's sad to see the shape she's in now.
