| #4 One less anchor for the UK. If there were only a ban on pushing then this wouldn't happen. /(too polite to say it, but get it together or lose it) |

| #2 I remember a story told by a retired FBI man, of a burglar who picked the worst imaginable neighborhood to to do a break in. Purely coincidentally, it was full of WWII vets of several kinds, all of whom had fought in hellish circumstances. The house the burglar chose had a British vet, a widower, who had been an infantryman in some of the nastiest fighting of the Burma Campaign, right across the street from the retired FBI guy. The Burma vet caught the burglar and decided to keep him, for hours. After the initial flurry of activity, most of that time the two of them just sat in chairs opposite each other. During that time, the burglar soiled himself out of fear, and "looked a mess", when the vet finally gave a call to the FBI guy to pick him up. So terrified that when the local police got him, he confessed to the burglary, but wouldn't tell anyone what had happened. The Burma vet wouldn't, either. |

| #1 At least he died with his honor. Murtha can't, and for that matter, Cunningham can't. RIP |
