Curiosity
I would be really curious to know how much of my tax money the Governor has convinced the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/10/03/news/state/45-airforce.txt">Air Force to spend on this Coal to Fuel project</a> at Malmstrom.

I guess <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conduct_unbecoming_an_officer_and_a_gentleman">Article 133</a> of the UCMJ is <a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/N/NAVAL_ACADEMY_WILD_CRUISE?SITE=MTBIL&SECTION=US&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT">no longer in effect</a>?

It will be interesting…

I have been waiting to see what the situation was and now the <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=738316&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312" target="_new">report is out</a>. The Submarine crash that took a life, injured others, and took a Submarine out of commission was an <b>avoidable</b> accident that never should have happened.

Equal
As long as the number of surfaces equals the number of dives <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/canada_submarine_fire">there is hope</a>. <br />n<br />n<b>I must confess that my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocating its crew and floundering at sea.
