This is why you don't let interns do google searches for multimedia presentations.  Sheesh.

On the other hand, if it had been at the RNC, something would've been spelled wrong.

The ship thing is an easy mistake to make.  How many of you would actually be able to spot that mistake on your own?  It's not like with tanks, where most lay people would know that a T-72 tank is not Abrams, even if they wouldn't understand why T-72 is superior.

On this forum, I'd wager the majority of us. 



Oh and good going trying to channel the SirHockney meme, but I think someone did it better a couple of weeks back.   :P

I'm a bit curious, how, in any metric is the T-72 superior to any version of the Abrams?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Old joke.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Much in the same way that if I buy liquor at 6th and 8th, I'll pay a significant premium over a purchase of the same liquor at 6th and 23rd (and more dramatically over said purchase in BedStuy) in one part because people in the village can afford to pay more.

Yeah never thought about that before, but I guess it makes perfect sense, the most descriptive element comes first.

And in fact, google confirms that such rules have taken a tumble with the Wall Street Journal, New York Post and NYPD doing whatever they damn well please. :D
