The latest Congressional craze - Oops! - Update


Chalk one up for the U.S. Navy, but deduct several dozen for national defense

I thought it was illegal to name naval vessels after living people.

Guess I was wrong.

Even if it wasn't illegal to name ships after living people, it should be illegal to name ships after serving Congressmen.

I can just see the can of worms that will open up.

Five hundred and thirty-five members of Congress.

Can you just see the jostling to get the biggest and best named after them?

I guess that is one way to get the Navy funded.

Update - Regular reader BTHO informed me that I got my facts wrong. Congressman Murtha died. I missed it, I skimmed the article and I missed it entirely. I've no excuse except I'm tired. Sorry about that. This is one rant where I went off the handle.
