WASHINGTON — B.J. Penn, assistant secretary of the Navy for installations and environment, will serve as acting Navy secretary until a successor to Donald Winter is named.
Winter, who stepped down Friday, had agreed to stay on in the Obama administration until March 13, or until a replacement was found.
Penn began his career as a Naval aviator, according to the Navy Web site. He amassed more than 6,500 flight hours in 16 types of aircraft. He was EA-6B Pilot of the Year in 1972, according to the site. Thus far, the White House has not hinted who the nominee might be.
PTL for releasing from his tormentors, an honorable man, a leader and respected officer who has put his life between ours and our enemies, both foreign and domestic.
A toast is in order and this is the drink to do it justice.
First one to correctly name this drink is the winner!
: )
Ingredients to use:
2.0 splashes Blue Curacao
0.5 oz Gin
4.0 cubes Ice
0.5 oz Light Rum
1.0 Fill Sour mix
0.5 oz Triple sec
0.5 oz OVAL Vodka
Directions: Fill glass with ice. Pour in all white liquors. Fill glass with sour mix and top off with Blue Curacao. Squeeze a wedge of lemon, and stir.
The candidate must also be riddled with tax problems and a whole raft of ethical/criminal deficits, but these must be effectively hidden from view to avoid being thrown under the bus. If you're not a skillful enough crook to hide your deficits, Barry doesn't want you on the team. Of course you could select from a candidate who has something in common with Rangel or William Jefferson. Those people are untouchable.
well, he fights to the finish...
Blue Hawaiian?
AMF
We have a winner, Sparko : )
Things that really want to make you puke...
LMAO : ) Might as well be, I feel like I walking around in a stupor.
I noticed your post a few minutes before discovering the news on Lt Col Chessani. I figured you wouldn’t mind the ping. PTL indeed!
Looks like a rather classy drink to me.
And imagine what it would do for the spinach industry!
Navy Secretary-Desginate Mabus Can Expect Smooth Sailing, Despite Messy Divorce
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/03/30/navy_secretary-desginate_mabus.html?wprss=44
Mabus
Century 2, Quatrain 62
Mabus plus tost alors mourra, viendra,
De gens & bestes vn horrible defaite:
Puis tout à coup la vengeance on verra,
Cent, main, faim quand courra la comete.
Mabus then will soon die, there will come
A horrible undoing of people and animals:
At once vengeance one will see vengeance,
One hundred hands, thirst, famine, when the comet will run.
Nostradamus’ Third Antichrist has yet to be positively identified. In contrast with his certainty about Napoleon and Hitler, Nostradamus is less clear who this third tyrant is. Perhaps this is an example of his prophetic myopia that enabled him to be clearest about events of local or European history. When contemplating future events in more distant lands, the prophet’s vision tends to be cloudier. What does come through clearly is the fact that this Third and final Antichrist is not a prominent European leader. He may even be a minor player in a future conflict, an insignificant terrorist such as Gavrilo Princip, the Serbian nationalist who assassinated Archduke Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo, triggering World War I.
The man we know as Mabus may be some obscure future terrorist who, if he is not identified and restrained in time, will trigger World War III and the extinction of civilization as we have known it.
