I know there will be JFK fans saying that First Family was cuter than buttons,

"There's John. He's missing his tie, I think that East German hooker probably stole it when the Secret Service got her out the back entrance. And there's Jackie, this was a good day, she wasn't too drunk. Robert just came in from six hours listening to the FBI wiretaps, so he was pretty tired when the picture was taken. Doesn't Teddy look good, though? He'd been sober for two whole days when we brought the photographer in."

Captain Hate

The Sixers had the misfortune to be good at the same time that Walton wasn't out with injuries and Magic and Bird came into the league (plus a couple seasons where the Bullets and Sonics caught lightning in a bottle). When they finally did win it I felt good for everyone on the team: Dr J, Moses, Bobby Jones, Mo Cheeks, Andrew Toney, Lloyd Free, I think Kobe's dad Joe Bryant was still on the team, and of course coach Billy C. Not sure if Chocolate Thunder and Caldwell Jones were still there.

I think the people of NH have been overloaded on politics that they have become confused. CNN just interviewed a nice older man who is an independent and lives in southern NH. He thought about Bernie,but decided to vote for Kasich,because Kasich went to Dixville Notch and the man interviewed is from the North Country.
CH,you might get your wish,if Kasich does well,he might never return to Ohio. He'll be on the campaign trail. :)

Michael (fpa Patriot4Freedom)

Don't recall seeing anything re yesterday's outrageous attack on Ted Cruz by Judd Gregg (acting as Jeb!'s stalking horse). Rather stunning to hear him call a fellow Republican, and a candidate for the Repub nomination at that, an "unethical person."


"On Fox News this morning, former New Hampshire governor Judd Gregg, a campaign surrogate for Jeb Bush, accused Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of being an unethical person.

During an interview, Fox host Martha MacCallum asked Gregg about the possibilities of Cruz tapping into the evangelical vote in New Hampshire.

“Well there are a lot of people in this state who are seriously religious, there’s no question about that but they’re not going with Cruz in my opinion,” Gregg said. “I mean he’s an unethical individual. To have him lead our party would be a disaster.”

Gregg didn’t specify why Cruz was unethical, but said that voters should not be fooled by the Texas Senator’s rhetoric about his faith.

“He may be fooling some folks, but I think most people are seeing him for what he is, which is a person who doesn’t have any ethics,” Gregg said. “He’s not trustworthy.”


Given that Gregg was a squishy Bush supporter, it's not surprising that he described Cruz as "a disaster for the GOP." And he's probably upset because Cruz doesn't want to go to D.C. to do the bidding of the GOPe.

From the 09:54 link, thanks to narciso.

"Cooper pointed to 18 VA inspector general reports detailing problems plaguing the VA and asked Sanders why it took him so long to act.

"Well, a fair question. And I think you know the answer is that we have worked on many, many issues," Sanders said. "And your point is fair, that we should've acted sooner. We should've known what was going on in Phoenix, those long waiting lines and the lies that some administrators were telling us.""

Here's is a guy who neglected the VA appointment scandal for a long time, as the Committee chair; but wants to go from chairing a committee to President of the USA. IMO, that would be a most serious mistake for America.

NK

henry... you naughty boy.

Captain Hate

henry, I envy that experience. I went to a Bullets-Sixers game at the Spectrum years before that back when Unseld was a rookie and Earl Monroe was in his second or third season. Great place to watch a game especially listening to the Zink, who never let the refs forget if a team was in the penalty situation, which some of the zebras would with no recourse after the ball was subsequently in play.

The influx of the ABA players into the league, of which the Sixers benefited a great deal, really shuffled the NBA deck.

Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki

Wanted to repost this long but excellent comment Pagar posted a couple of threads back, just in case anyone missed it;

Off Topic
Just saw a uplifting story away from the political stuff. Sorry but it is a little long.

"A story about a vivid memory of a P-51 and its pilot, by a fellow who was 12 years old in Canada in 1967. It was to take to the air. They said it had flown in during the night from some U.S. Airport, the pilot had been tired.

A6E1892D52834179B7C5A15D08D92735@HomePC
I marveled at the size of the plane dwarfing the Pipers and Canucks tied down by her. It was much larger than in the movies. She glistened in the sun like a bulwark of security from days gone by.

The pilot arrived by cab, paid the driver, and then stepped into the pilot's lounge. He was an older man; his wavy hair was gray and tossed.
It looked like it might have been combed, say, around the turn of the century. His flight jacket was checked, creased and worn - it smelled old and genuine. Old Glory was prominently sewn to its shoulders. He projected a quiet air of proficiency and pride devoid of arrogance. He filed a quick flight plan to Montreal (Expo-67, Air Show) then walked across the tarmac.

After taking several minutes to perform his walk-around check the pilot returned to the flight lounge to ask if anyone would be available to stand by with fire extinguishers while he "flashed the old bird up, just to be safe."

Though only 12 at the time I was allowed to stand by with an extinguisher after brief instruction on its use -- "If you see a fire, point, then pull this lever!" I later became a firefighter, but that's another story. The air around the exhaust manifolds shimmered like a mirror from fuel fumes as the huge prop started to rotate. One manifold, then another, and yet another barked -- I stepped back with the others. In moments the Packard-built Merlin engine came to life with a thunderous roar, blue flames knifed from her manifolds. I looked at the others' faces, there was no concern. I lowered the bell of my extinguisher. One of the guys signaled to walk back to the lounge. We did.


08A8DA103E21407FB016E7BC0121C796@HomePC
798EFFF048FA41D090AF540BA7D894C1@HomePC
Several minutes later we could hear the pilot doing his pre flight run-up. He'd taxied to the end of runway 19, out of sight. All went quiet for several seconds; we raced from the lounge to the second story deck to see if we could catch a glimpse of the P-51 as she started down the runway.
We could not. There we stood, eyes fixed to a spot half way down 19. Then a roar ripped across the field, much louder than before, like a furious hell spawn set loose---something mighty this way was coming. "Listen to that thing!" said the controller.
C736F83285D44737A51106F0CE3C0583@HomePC
In seconds the Mustang burst into our line of sight.
Its tail was already off and it was moving faster than anything I'd ever seen by that point on 19. Two-thirds the way down 19 the Mustang was airborne with her gear going up. The prop tips were supersonic; we clasped our ears as the Mustang climbed hellish fast into the circuit to be eaten up by the dog-day haze.

3232CB36C34F4FFA8C119D45119DC410@HomePC
We stood for a few moments in stunned silence trying to digest what we'd just seen. The radio controller rushed by me to the radio. " Kingston tower calling Mustang?" He looked back to us as he waited for an acknowledgment.

The radio crackled, "Go ahead Kingston ."

"Roger Mustang. Kingston tower would like to advise the circuit is clear for a low level pass."
I stood in shock because the controller had, more or less, just asked the pilot to return for an impromptu air show!

The controller looked at us. "What?" He asked. "I can't let that guy go without asking. I couldn't
forgive myself!"

The radio crackled once again, " Kingston , do I have permission for a low level pass, east to west, across the field?"

"Roger Mustang, the circuit is clear for an east to west pass."

"Roger, Kingston , I'm coming out of 3000 feet, stand by."


We rushed back onto the second-story deck, eyes fixed toward the eastern haze. The sound was subtle at first, a high-pitched whine, a muffled screech, a distant scream.


B9905FFDFAFA4883B76DB7A7A6E19C8E@HomePC

Moments later the P-51 burst through the haze. Her airframe straining against positive Gs and gravity, wing tips spilling contrails of condensed air, prop-tips again supersonic as the burnished bird blasted across the eastern margin of the field shredding and tearing the air.

BCEA43DF303445A3B77D2B3DBB88F639@HomePC

At about 500 mph and 150 yards from where we stood she passed with the old American pilot saluting. imagine. A salute! I felt like laughing, I felt like crying, she glistened, she screamed, the building shook, my heart pounded.

C5671FD7478640F69D0B7151241588D3@HomePC
2A90505B4567445C9C79288B1233C24B@HomePC
Then the old pilot pulled her up and rolled, and rolled, and rolled out of sight into the broken clouds and indelibly into my memory. I've never wanted to be an American more than on that day.
It was a time when many nations in the world looked to America as their big brother, a steady and even-handed beacon of security who navigated difficult political water with grace and style; not unlike the pilot who'd just flown into my memory.
He was proud, not arrogant, humble, not a braggart, old and honest, projecting an aura of America at its best. That America will return one day, I know it will. Until that time, I'll just send off this story; call it a reciprocal salute, to the old American pilot who wove a memory for a young Canadian that's lasted a lifetime."

Warbirds...

I have mentioned before that my mother, as a freshly minted aeronautical engineer working for Goodyear, designed the heavied-up wheels for a few B29s so that they could carry a particularly heavy load.

Before she died, I took her to the Air & Space Museum at Dulles. When we got to the Enola Gay, she brightened up and said "that's MY wheel". THAT was neat.

JiB, was that at the Civic Center? That wasn't a particularly bad part of town at that time. Were you wearing Knicks gear?

I knew it was WWII era,but I don't have a clue what it was,maybe a P-51?

They advertise a P-51, so that's probably what it was. It appears to have an elongated cockpit for back seat rides, so it's probably a modified variant.

Ah, a bit more googling, and this appears to be the one they have. Modified in 2002-3 to add a second seat.

Thanks Iggy for reposting, I missed it earlier.

NK

from Insty today, I completely agree with this especially the last graph and I pray voters turnout to punish the fascistic Dems, and GOPe turncoats:

"IT WOULD BE EASIER TO OUTLINE WHAT THEY’VE GOTTEN RIGHT: The RNC’s 2012 Autopsy Was Wrong. “The RNC report’s advocacy for a path to citizenship was a slap in the face to those Republicans who had long been angry about illegal immigration. Businesses big and small made the decision to employ illegal immigrants in violation of the law. A generation of Washington politicians responded with a tacit shrug, even after 9/11. That same generation of politicians, running a government infrastructure capable of reading all of our e-mails and vacuuming up the metadata from all of our cell phones, didn’t seem to care that millions of visitors had overstayed their visas and disappeared from the system. Local governments that will nail you for an expired parking meter announced they were ‘sanctuary cities’ and would no longer cooperate with federal efforts to deport those here illegally. And Immigration and Customs Enforcement, charged with leading those efforts, botched its most basic duties.”

And that disregard for the rule of law, and poisonously obvious desire to dissolve the people and elect another, is what’s creating the anger."

Buckeye

BTW Zero....that P-51....we built that too.

Pagar and Ig:

Thank you!

Here's a P-51 at the Air & Space Museum OL mentioned, taken last year after the big flyover celebrating the 70th anniversary of VE Day.

They landed about 10 planes at Dulles and taxied them over to the museum so we could see them close up. hit and run jr was beside himself with glee over the whole experience.

BTW, DC folks.....we might be heading back up there for princess hit and run's field trip to DC. Not 100% yet, but at least 50/50. If I get more details, I can send emails...

Guilty as charged.Doubledouche obviously has a different view on sex than his American counter-parts....if a European man sees a family wherein the wife is not sexually satisfied and the daughters are also sexually stressed and all parties were happy then a man could satisfy all women at the same time and the more experienced ones could help the ones who are new to such intense experiences by holding their hands and comforting through the ordeal-uhm,experience by consoling them the way a mom could only do.
