Submariners in peril are saved by the 'brotherhood of the sea'

The Chief extends a "bravo zulu" (well done) to the Russian submariners who maintianed their professional composure under extremely tough conditions, and to the UK Royal Navy team that enabled the positive outcome to this potential tragedy.

Maritime disasters or potential disasters always jab the Chief's attention. Based on his own modest sea-going experience on a DDG for a couple years, it's never hard to identify with those situations - at sea anything can happen, and generally does, somewhere, sometime.

Fortunately for the Russians, this time they dodged the bullet, or should it be that they dodged the depth charge!

PROTESTING SOLDIER MOM CHANGED STORY ON BUSH

Firstly, let it be stipulated, that this lady can say anything she wants.

Let it also be stipulated that based on the record, her credibility is at the very least questionable, since she is untroubled by any need to observe little details like consistancy trouble her accounts.

Cindy then:

THE REPORTER of Vacaville, CA published an account of Cindy Sheehan's visit with the president at Fort Lewis near Seattle on June 24, 2004:
"'I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis,' Cindy said after their meeting. 'I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith.'

Cindy now:

In an interview on CNN, she claimed Bush "acted like it was party" when she met him last year. "It was -- you know, there was a lot of things said. We wanted to use the time for him to know that he killed an indispensable part of our family and humanity. And we wanted him to look at the pictures of Casey. "He wouldn't look at the pictures of Casey. He didn't even know Casey's name. He came in the room and the very first thing he said is, 'So who are we honoring here?' He didn't even know Casey's name. He didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to hear anything about Casey. He wouldn't even call him 'him' or 'he.' He called him 'your loved one.'

Yes, you read that right. The Northern Valley Beacon has a very good and very honest post about the NARAL commercial that slanders Judge John Roberts. He does suggest that Republicans started it and Democrats are only imitating what they...

Chad at CCK makes a very good argument against public religious displays. A religious group hitherto unknown to me (and perhaps existing only for political purposes) insists that it be allowed to erect a monument enumerating the Seven Aphorisms, principles...

Westerners considering separation

More than one-third of western Canadians surveyed this summer thought it was time to consider separation from Canada, a poll suggests. In the survey, 35.6 per cent of respondents from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia agreed with the statement: Western Canadians should begin to explore the idea of forming their own country.

Interesting. According to historians, about 1/3 of the colonists in what became the United States were in favor of that independence movement, so maybe there's enough sentiment up there for something to happen, eh?

Todd Epp pulled a Sibby and left the Democrat Party and became an Independent. Here it is in his own words:So today I made the fifteen minute or so trek to Canton from Harrisburg. Enjoyed the drive as usual. Stopped...

Pirro to Challenge Clinton for Senate Seat

Jeanine Pirro, a high-profile prosecutor in the New York City suburbs, said Monday she will seek the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton next year.

The Chief has been impressed with what he's seen of Jeanine Pirro on the tube. It's probably a long shot to beat Hil, but it may be possible if the right campaign is run against her. Whatever, Ms. Pirro already has her beat hands down for foxiness.

Here's hoping that the Discovery and her crew have a soft and safe landing tomorrow morning....
