I love that picture. Both Clintons are just so pissed..LOL!!

It's so good to have an honest-to-God Man in the office of President. What a contrast! Boy, howdy, it surely is!

[Howlin]

I know!

Here's W's early flight suit, complete with little cowboy boots!

Personally, if I had the opportunity to land on a carrier, I would want to do it at night.  That's because there is a saying among carrier pilots.

"The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life where you get to experience all three at the same time."

Excellent!! What a man...what a great president!

Disclaimer to nicmarlo: We both go in to work at 6:00 a.m., hence the "early" quittin' time! :-)

[Howlin]

LOL!

"Miramar is between 2 freeways, but from the 1 (I-15) they are right overhead maybe 500 feet, on approach. It is cool. Miss the Tomcats though."

Very cool! And I bet not one citizen of San Diego has picked up the phone to call in a noise complaint.

GUESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME AND MY JEDIS!!!!

We live in the flight path of the military helicopters. They fly over all the time, sometimes in 2s and 3s. They have a very distinctive thumping sound. They are usually not very high up.

The other day, we heard one coming and as is our habit, we all three dashed out into the yard and waved. The helicopter "appeared" to swerve towards us, but then it went on it's way.

JUST NOW, we heard the thumping sound and dashed out into the front yard just like always (we've been doing this since Sept. 11th). THIS TIME, the helicopter turned, and curved around, flew RIGHT OVER our house, made a big circle right over our house!!!

By the time I figured out what they were doing, I had jerked the flag off the front of the house and was waving it fiercely! They completed the loop around our house and then flew back onto their original course and flew away.

It was one of the most momentous things to ever happen to me in my life.

[Calpernia]

There is absolutely NO comparison!

Our Zero:

Our Hero:

A real man!

[nicmarlo]

yeah, sure, right, whatever you say.

[longtermmemmory]

I like this one

V is for Victory.

It slams the Mr. and MZ. sarandons and reclaims the victory sign

[nicmarlo]

HOW KEWL!!!!

[Howlin]

Wow...where did you find that?

[dansangel]

yeah, sure, right, whatever you say.

Plus, his work is .8 miles from where we live and mine is 1.5 miles from here. My mother didn't raise any dummies - I refuse to fight the traffic here!

[Grampa Dave]

Yes, after the eight terrible years of Clinton, I feel like I'm in heaven, also.

I found my self standing at parade rest as GW was heading down past the honor guard. I probably would have saluted, but I was uncovered.

[retrokitten]

Oh wow! That's really cool!

[Aggie Mama]

How fantastic! =)

[Not A Snowbird]

Hey, I'm still eating lunch. That visual was downright mean! :-)

[Howlin]

Outstanding!
