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."

W is a natural warrior!

He's a natural. Period.

I have three photos in my mind: at ground zero with the firemen and hard hats; on the mound among fans and players, throwing the first pitch of the series; and this one -- all pictures that symbolize what's great about America -- and in all them, he's a natural.

The first image of his arrival in San Diego -- that's the smile of a happy CIC!
