I don't know about you, but I couldn't help but notice that giant warship while sailing at Pt Isabel. I think it's this:

Seems like it won't be around for long.

yes, I heard about this in the news today. The are gonna sink that boat during target practice in the Pacific using warships and submarines. I think the US Navy also invited Peru, Japan and other countries to the drill.

Steve - In order to invite Newsom along our intrepid mayor would need to be resident in SF for more than 5 mins a month. Now that the Black and White Ball is over and fog is covering his hood, Specifically Whites, he will be missing till at least fall and Opera season. Also we are having a lot of shootings only about 3 miles from him so I think he is probably hiding in his original tough back yard, Marin.

Also, please note that there are only two types of naval vessels, Submarines and targets.

I heard Gavin likes "Bush". Maybe they could call it the "Gavin Newsom Stinky Bush Treatment Facility" It could treat effluent, sexual addiction, and low IQ all at once. Rolling Eyes

Everything that comes out of the Bush White House's collective mouth needs to pass through sewage treatment plants, aka press secretaries. Great move by Ari (The Flusher) Fleischer to flush before the next fallout hit. Scott McClellan's still trying to wash himself off but is finding it's pretty sticky stuff. Dana Perino just wears extra lipstick and perfume to cover up the damage. Razz

I really hate to see a once proud ship being used for target practice, or sent to the scrap yard for that matter. Couldn't it be sold to the Mexican Navy?

and then practice target shooting with the Mexican Navy? Laughing

why don't they just anchor that ship a mile offshore with a nice dock and a tiki bar so that we can take a break between sets?
