It doesn’t take much…

Posted by Tim.

…to get our Dear Leader to cut short his vaction.

Just a Category 4 hurricane hitting a major metropolitan center and devasting the coastal areas of three Southern states.

Good grief; why can’t our current political leaders show a little more grit and be a little more dutiful?

    My uncle used to tell me this story when I was a kid, thanks for reminding me. Just because I don’t believe in war doesn’t mean I didn’t want to be a hero…

    Because the remnant was listing badly and starting to swamp, Kennedy decided to swim for a small island barely visible (actually three miles) to the southeast. Five hours later, all eleven survivors had made it to the island after having spent a total of fifteen hours in the water. Kennedy had given McMahon a life-jacket and had towed him all three miles with the strap of the device in his teeth. After finding no food or water on the island, Kennedy concluded that he should swim the route the PT boats took through Ferguson Passage in hopes of sighting another ship. After Kennedy had no luck, Ross also made an attempt, but saw no one and returned to the island. Ross and Kennedy had spotted another slightly larger island with coconuts to eat and all the men swam there with Kennedy again towing McMahon.
