ParticipantPat, it would really help if you got the hang of the quoting markup. Put your followups after the ending [/quote] tag. The way you did it makes it look like I wrote some things I didn’t, that EconProf wrote what I did, and makes your additions hard to follow.

Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]John: I think it was the F-106 that Dubya flew.[/quote]
Ah, right–the ANG flew these for quite a while. One of the coolest looking planes ever, and quite impressive in person. They have one over at Gillespie Field. Quite the death trap:
“During its long service life, the F-106A had the distinction of recording the lowest single-engined aircraft accident record in USAF history.”

That’s just the intellect part. Consider the guts one has to have to fly jets. Especially the F-103 which many considered a death trap.[/quote]You mean the Republic XF-103 project that was cancelled before it ever flew in the 1950s? I agree that the crazy looking bird looked like a death trap, but no one ever flew it.

He doesn’t have the guts to go against the grain and hire a Secretary of the Treasury who might do us some good. I don’t care if he smokes or not as long as he’s not smoking a crack pipe.

Participant[quote=condogrrl]Yesterday I finally got around to watching “The Obama Deception” that I think I learned about from Pigginton’s. Yes, it could be just a bunch of film pieces spliced together to present a conspiracy theory. But there was enough truth to it for me to believe the overall theme of the movie: there is a power group operating behind the scenes engineering the whole thing. I recommend you watch this, if you haven’t already.

Yesterday’s news, sad to say.
“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.”
– Theodore Roosevelt
