I'd love to put one of these in my wife's BMW Mini-Cooper. She hates traffic.

Yeah! The boys would be saying "COOL!" and hunting for them on the ground.

"...Maybe it was Michael Moore. He could go down just like he did in Team America, well almost. ;)"

Gee, I dunno. How much thrust has a Falcon to try and get airborne that tub of slop?

At the very least, incompetent. At the worst, criminally negligent. This pilot's career is over. He'll be lucky to fly a desk.

If your wife could trade in that mini-Cooper for a Hummer, we could mount a 30mm Avenger from an A-10 in it.

I'm working on it. I can afford the H2 but not! the H1. Then on the fambly (sic) side Karen really likes the Mini. It goes like a bat-out-of-hell and she has a lead foot. She'd roll the H in a heartbeat. It'd mess up the munitions real fast; if you know what I mean.

Darn, I hate it when that happens.

Hope he gets treated better than Gus Grissom was.

Have seen the news reports on TV about this. It appears they found only 6 bullets on the roof of the school and a few in the parking lot. In one pic, you could see the round just laying on the roof, no penetration involved.

*GRINNING*

When I saw this last night I was going to ping you, but I remember how upset the Old Man got whenever something happened, even though everyone got out all right.

Someone made an unfortunate mistake, but thank God it was at night, and no one was hurt.

I'm sure that people are walking on pins and needles.

Great victory for the President, my local guys lost, so I am only "half" celebrating.

Tell you know who to hang tough.

I love you Sis.

The local and national media are of course trying to make much more of this than it is. Surprisingly, the locals are taking it in stride and not overreacting. I'm proud of them.

Many, many folks in this neck of the woods know that the sound of an F-16 fighter jet is the "Voice of Freedom."
