A lot of things about the White House reaction before and after the Rathergate story aired seemed unusual.

Here is the 'tator take on some aspects of Rathergate

[StarCMC]

I heard this one on the radio yesterday - first time in I don't know HOW long...

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

[Old Sarge]

I wanna see if you, or anyone, can find "The Ballad of the Green Berets"...

But NOT the one sung by Barry Sadler himself.

I'm talking about the all-male chorus version that was the theme for the movie - John Wayne, Aldo Ray, David Jannsen, George Takei, etc.

[uncleshag]

Checking, Old Sarge.

[Old Sarge]

Nope, the wireless isn't working yet. We've got one Ethernet wire going into the HQ section, and I've got squatters' rights tonight.

Can I help? Need a router or AP?

I don't think I would have sat thru that story with dry eyes

I know you wouldn't have...I didn't. Also sad was that Dad thought for the longest time he had lost both. Maybe I shouldn't have told you that....It's hard to put on makeup in the morning with tears in your eyes. But it all turned out ok!

[StarCMC]

Wow - you went to the right place for THAT one!!

[StarCMC]

Oh - it's ok - I am a basket case some days! LOL!!

5 new F/A-22 fighter jets land at base

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE -- (AP) -- Five more F/A-22 Raptors landed Friday at this Florida Panhandle base where Gen. John P. Jumper, Air Force chief of staff, is among the first pilots being trained to fly the new stealth fighter.

The five Raptors arrived from the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co. plant in Marietta, Ga., a day after all F/A-22s were cleared to resume flying for the first time since a Dec. 20 crash at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.

The additional planes increased the number of Raptors at Tyndall to 18, more than half of the 33 now in the Air Force inventory. A 34th plane had been scheduled to arrive but its flight was postponed due to mechanical problems, said Capt. Susan A. Romano, a Tyndall spokeswoman.

Jumper is scheduled to make his final F/A-22 qualification flight here Wednesday.

The planes were grounded as a precaution after the Nellis crash. Safety and accident investigation boards have not disclosed a cause, but Air Force officials said they were confident the jets could be flown safely based on preliminary findings. The pilot suffered scrapes but was otherwise unharmed.

Is that a welcome back to the canteen, Tom?
