The west wing overall is a great show, while it does get preachy i also felt like it did a decent job at expressing both idealistic democratic and republican views. I thought alan alda did a great job in season 6 and 7 as a reasonable republican and not the gun crazy anti gay people they are often portrayed as.…
There are times when presidents do fly on aircraft other than the 747s. In modern times this has become rarer due to 2 factors, security and cost. Sometimes one of the 757s (usually used by the VP, first lady, and some members of the cabinet) is used if they need to land at a smaller airport. Obama and Clinton have…
For years i’ve been using this classic plastic hanger, it’s strong enough to hold my winter coats. I have had problems with both the wood and black velvet hangers in the past. The hooks have broken off too easily. These are used in most of the stores i shop in. I found a distributor and buy them a case at a time (one…

No, the ski jump is there to hide the air cannon when launching old jags off the flight deck
For years now i have been using video glasses to watch movies on flights. Unfortunately it seems like these companies go in and out of business every few years. Saw these on amazon:
Seriously? An amazon union may help workers temporarily but in the long run, like so many modern day unions it will only hurt everyone. Why?
Nope, never been in a union. Never faked a work injury. Just another working smuck trying to make it in the world whose intelligent enough to realize that unions today do more harm than good, both to the country (driving up costs everywhere) and even to the union members who (in the private sector) will eventually…
It’s not always about knowing about the body. I’m willing to bet most virgins are not standing back and guiding it in. Most of the time the guy is going by feel, he may be kissing or even just looking deep into her eyes. Thus the accidental. Especially if he is also a virgin and thrusts in too hard the first time.…
Unions are just as bad as any other organization. There are times when they have been needed to make real important changes. But today, more than often than not, they are a hindrance to the overall economy. They usually represent a protectionist agenda that’s too slow to change to keep up with the modern economy.
Funny, as a long time Top Gear fan i never heard about Finalgear until today. I do however remember watching episodes on streetfire.net. It used to really piss me off how they would hold episodes of shows back weeks or even months from the UK to the US. It was like the BBC thought it was still in the 17th century and…
I’m guessing GMT since “The British invented time”. GMT is the time, all other time is lying.
I recently binge listened to the 3 audio books he has on audible. And i was surprised to find how soothing it was listing to him ramble on.
No, if you’re a boater you would realize that commuter boats, tugs & other small “commercial” craft are really the assholes of the maritime world. Those captains feel like they rule the water over pleasure craft. They never follow the “rule of the road” unless facing another commercial ship or vessel larger than…
NASA never bought a 747 new. The first was an old American Airlines 747-100 they converted. In fact for about 10 years they kept the AA red white and blue stripes and just added the NASA worm logo. Later on they changed to their modern livery white/blue. The second 747 came in the 80s and was the 747-100SR (short…
He beat Kolrami at Strategema, in only 13 moves.
At the time, but the Excursion was soon joined but the Tahoe XL/Yukon XL/Escalade ESV, and eventually replaced by the Expedition EL.
Chevy Volt, when this first came out it was going to be the first cool/sexy and affordable hybrid. It was a “green” camero and the market was excited. Then the GM corporate machine got it’s hands on it and turned it into another dull, eco looking “hippie” car and predictably it flopped. It wasn’t until Tesla released…
She was borrowing her dad’s car. According to the Washington post she just graduated from college in may and was trying to make some extra cash.
