Who cares about the rotor tail?

Who cares about the rotor tail?

I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

Who cares about the rotor tail?

It's part of the stealth system on the helo. And I think the article says that this helo stealth technology wouldn't even be known if not for this crash.

Who cares about Kerry?

I've been very sour on him. He's my State Senator but I've never had much regard for him. Still don't really, but he does have his positive sides which I give him some credit for.

That doesn't answer my question...and he was my state senator at one point as well.

Well, I'm sure many Dems care about Kerry's doings and such.     

So you had the pleasure of Kerry serving you in Congress!

I lost all respect for Kerry when he tried to get a cheesesteak with SWISS CHEESE in Philadelphia.

He used a napkin also. That is what his shirt is for.

You know that elitist prick had a napkin or a wet-nap nearby.

He probably had a staffer whose sole job is holding the wet-naps.

Interesting piece about Saudi Arabian reaction to OBL death, including people who knew him.

.....
Jamal Khashoggi, who had travelled extensively with Bin Laden in Afghanistan, attended the talk and afterwards asked his old friend how he could be so certain of the future.

"He recited a verse from the Koran," recalls Jamal.

"The verse means the one who practises jihad for God, for Allah, God will show them the right path. I wasn't comfortable about it. He had given himself the position of 'I am seeing things because God is directing me towards it'. That was the first time I felt that Osama began to have an inflated ego."
.....
For Jamal Khashoggi, there is something apt about the fact that Bin Laden was killed at this time, in the midst of much upheaval in the Middle East.

"His organisation, ideas and thoughts reached a dead end," he said.

"They all failed in Tahrir Square. He could have done much better for himself, for his family, for his religion if he had remained a moderate."

And he probably tried to order in French.

Forget the wet-naps;  if I were a Senator, I'd just wipe my hands on my staffers' shirts.

Well, not really, but it's fun to pretend.
