That statement is pathetic...go vote for a politician that 'promises' to end it. I bet none of the fascist/libs were in Iraq or Afganistan.

I place Italian planes and cars in the same category as the spaghetti westerns of the '60s-too foreign. Boeing Monomail Beech Staggerwing B1 Lancer B2 Spirit

I think he might have been comparing my E to some plane with no flaps or maybe he was making the point that needing to slip on final is poor judgement and not a very stable approach.

Read somewhere long ago that short bodies, full flaps, and slips don't play together very well. First time I did it when I was getting checked out my instructor said slips don't work very well in Mooneys so I just don't use them like when I fly little tail-draggers.

Something else to try-practice on something first- is try to shrink the leather after it is in place. Soak leather with water and stretch before cutting and then stitch on while still wet. When it dries work in saddle soap or some other leather conditioner. The old cowboys say blood is the best leather shrink (think OJ trial) but that is kinda gross.

I had a cracked plug-it only shorted and caused an obvious miss at altitude, mechanic said the thinner air would let the short go to elsewhere. Also from this incident I learned that age of plugs is as important as total hours.

We'd be better served looking at total spending vs GDP in every case. Reagan was saddled with dem controlled congress and Clinton was dragged kicking and screaming into Newt's Contract with America and now tries to take credit-pathetic. A very telling graph to look at is unemployment for the last 15 years or so. Governments can control trends with policy and our current unemployment devastation was started with Bush's last midterm. The new congress's first legislation was raising minimum wage. The dems did that for one reason-to hurt 'Bush's' low unemployment numbers.

agree 100%-this country needs real conservatism not Dems or Repubs spending on everything they can think of.

NO! Bush had a deficit of 2t in eight years and O ran it up to 5.3t in four years. NO this country was not founded on 'liberal' ideals. The basic difference is that liberals believe more government is the answer and conservatives believe more government is a problem. Strong centralized governments wether they are monarchs, dictatorships, or socialist/communist are the very definition of liberalism.

Amigone- I said the left idolizes dictators and that made you mad---do you know any conservatives that idolizes them? No, that is a liberal tenant, if you are liberal and do not think the left is putting these people on a pedestal then you really need to reevaluate your ideals. This country is in a lot of trouble because many young people watch Jon Stewart, Colbert, and NPR and think that they are 'informed'. You claimed I was pathetic because I didn't know you--did I say YOU idolize anybody? No I said the left does and if you consider yourself a liberal then not only is that your problem but it is mine also, I would really like to protect that greatest bastion of freedom in the world. Instead of being offended of what Rush or I am saying about your level of ignorance you should take off the blinders and try to understand what we are trying to tell you. Did you read the above post? Did you realize how uninformed you sound when you make a statement like "I might have been under the influence'?

Sorry-too much sarcasm goes right over my head.

Throw bombs? Accusing him of the same? What in the world are you talking about? I called him a murderer. By default?? what are you babbling about? You seem to hate things that are real and cast them as evil, hence the low information voter, hence the problems of this country, I agree we should all read but some have graduated to books involving more than socialist drivel.

I think the parts that sounded like he idolized him was him being facetious.

The truth I was referring to was Hugo was a murderous thug and the left idolized him. No ignorance whatsoever in that statement. Didn't refer to the left as Dems or Repubs. Class and debating is what I thrive on but only to the extent of reality, truths and with the educated. When I stated the left idolized dictators like Hugo I was referring to Katie Curic stating on national TV that her dream interview would be with Hugo, Fidel, or Kim Jong Ill-and that to me is sick.

because.........Let me guess-the truth hurts?
