I know one engineer on the 'Fire that has 1 year of experience 40 times........ Who is that unfortunate soul? ...or did something just whiz over my head?

Two objections to Palin —
• She went to an Idaho university instead of the University of Alaska.
• She isn't Mrs Kenneth E Howell.
Otherwise, … Why Ken you old rascal!

No Hawk, I'm no McCainaniac, but what I was trying to point out is the fact you can't be THAT stupid and accomplished what he's done. An engineeering degree fron USNA, plus having scored high enough in flight training to get single seat jets is no small feat. jorge Jorge, I was curious as to what kind of engineering degree McCain has, as I couldn't really find anything detailed online about his education. If you know of any links I'd appreciate it. Thanks Scorpion: Prior to the class of 76, all graduates from the Naval Academy could only graduate with BS degrees in some type of engineering. After that date, even though the only degrees one gets from Annapolis are Bachelor Of Science degrees(they make you take enough math, physics, chemistry to meet that threshold) you can still get a major in a Liberal Arts discipline, but it's still a BS versus a BA. jorge
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I always thought a BS degree was what most men received as they are so good at it.

Do the majority still opt for only majors in engineering, or do a fair amount get degrees in the arts?

Funny. A colleague had that on a t-shirt the other day. He's on the right side of the bell curve as far as being an bright engineer, BTW.

You shouldn't be Mr. Jorge... Popapi, Jorge will adjust quite well as this expedition unfolds. YOU however are going to have to have ALL sharp objects taken away from you. Your posting yesterday indicates that you are going to vote for Osama Obama along with that little scrunge GPA. You KNOW that you are about to get yer asses kicked big time and that Obama will be relegated to running for dogcatcher in Chicago  . Only time will tell Mr. ET ONLY time will tell. O and yes I will be voting for Mr. Obama UNLESS he comes up with something that I don't like... So you're ok with income redistribution, gun control, and homosexuals openly serving in the armed forces (to name a few) then? yes or no will suffice. jorge Income redistribution if it will HELP the American people as to how Mr. Obama want's to do it YES. Gun Control there's is not much he can do about gun control looking at OUR second ammendment right people tried that in The District of Columabia and it was voted down, so I'm not to worried about that(Gun Control). And homosexuals openly serving in the armed forces IT won't happen.

Here's an unfortunate headline: McCain taps Palin for VP I say let Cheney do his own work!!!
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. --H. L. Mencken www.oregonfirearms.org

There are two types of people in the world - those that divide them into groups, and those that don't.
