Isn't it Ironic that the Aircraft Carrier Ronald Reagan is sent on a humanitarian

[WCGreen]

Mission...

[slackmaster]

1. Anthropmorphizing an aircraft carrier?

:crazy:

[WCGreen]

4. The name and the actions of its name sake makes it ironic...

don't you think...

[slackmaster]

7. I understand what you're saying

I just don't feel it right now. I'm glad we're sending such a formidable resource to Japan to help out, and that's what's really important right now.

[MrCoffee]

2. No more ironic than Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport

[WCGreen]

5. Oh please, not even a little irony there....

Is this thing on!!!!

[MrCoffee]

6. You don't see the irony in naming an airport after that sorry bastard?

Sure, it's a sick and twisted sort of irony, but still...

[WCGreen]

11. Sure do....

Sorry

[Kennah]

14. It's damned scary when Alzheimers strikes on approach

[MrCoffee]

15. Scarier still is when there are no ATC's on approach because they all got fired

[Hugabear]

3. If it was like its namesake, it would wind up adrift in the middle of the South Atlantic

Just sayin'

[Canuckistanian]

8. "We're from the Government and we're here to help"

Weren't those the 9 most frightening words in the English language?

[petronius]

18. I think its was "I'm" rather than "we're", but that's definitely what makes the irony

It's also a pretty solid refutation of the 'Reagan philosophy' when a ship with his name proves his comment so thoroughly misguided...

[cali]

9. not really.

not a particularly stellar example of irony.

[WCGreen]

10. They can't all be home runs....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. I think it's ironic as hell, so there!

I'm recommending this thread too!

:P

[forty6]

13. After all the bad things he did in his life, good that something good

comes out of this in his and our names.....!!!

Yeah, I hated the guy, ever since Berkeley...now maybe his soul gets out of purgatory a few days earlier...(if some believe in all that stuff!) ...

America should send the USS Obama...(not even on the drafting boards yet)....but in 100 years, this current, imperfect, first bi-racial President will be as good an image of America as Lincoln is to us now.


Reagan will be all but forgotten as is Franklin Pierce...(on second thought, maybe he will dwell with Nixon and Bush2, worst EVER!)

[jmowreader]

16. I can think of a worse one...

Sending the USS Nimitz to Japan on a humanitarian mission...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Now, THAT would be worse...

Esp. to the older generation.

[guitar man]

19. Better than sending the USS George HW Bush

It would probably puke on them! :spray:
