political crap snipped

Hey guys, wrong list for political posturing.. Lets keep it clean in
here and only stoop to calling each other stupid, or other terms of
endearment, on aviation issues...

Denny, having been accused many times in the past of having been a
self-appointed nanny for r.a.m., it's a real plerasure for me to be able to
unload that accolade into your lap. As I was often asked on those
occasions, when was the election or did I simply miss it?

The story did in fact have aviation content, evolving out of a forced
landing in Afghanistan due to weather.....can't get much more aviation than
that. The fact that there were three US senators involved is what made it
newsworthy and it's hard to mention a US senator without involving politics.

So, for whatever it's worth, just hold your nose and move on when it
inevitably occurs or as more than one female has been told (however true it
might be), if rape is unavoidable, you might as well relax and enjoy it.
Your choice.

because I wanted to make sure that you didn't somehow miss my response.
