Saturday Morning News & Notes

Army-Navy today. Go Navy, beat Army!

Anyway, here's what's news:

The steel from two cranes that bore witness to the crash of Flight 93 in Shanksville are being used in the hull the USS Somerset; a new Navy San Antonio Class LPD. LPD's are the back bone of the "Gator Navy".
-The Worst Media Quotes of the Year. My personal fave:

We don't know how much Kennedy was affected by [Mary Jo Kopechne's] death, or what she'd have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history.… [One wonders what] Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted's death, and what she'd have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded. Who knows -- maybe she'd feel it was worth it.

And if Kenedy had manned up, tried to save her, not taken a nap while she ran out of air and, you know, didn't allow her to die, we'd be able to ask her about it.

-Stimulus! Gitmo detainees to be held in Illinois. Nice scoop by Breitbart who is quickly becoming the go-to guy for conservative publishing.

-Noted Liberal intellectual drivels on. She's about as bright as anyone else in the lefty establishment. Did she grab her crotch and spit when she said it or make fun of Jews in ovens?


-Sarah Palin gets her revenge on William Shatner.
