"Inshallah!" Hugo Chavez

Hugo Chavez is learning Arabic. Can his conversion be far behind?

Rumors stated that Satan made an appearance this week at the United Nations. There were scattered reports of smelling "sulfur" near the podium at the 61st session of the UN's General assembly.

"The devil came here," Chavez said. "Right here. Right here. And it smells of sulfur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of."

Chavez suggested President Bush see a psychologist because he thinks he "rules the earth".

He then made the sign of the cross, brought his hands together as if praying and looked up to the ceiling.

Does anyone know another phrase for "Waste of Time"?
How about UNITED NATIONS....

On a sad note..the US Navy retired F-14 Tomcat
Although still swift and deadly, the F-14 is a victim of changing times. For example:

•Sophisticated missiles have made its specialty, aerial dogfighting, obsolete. Opposing aircraft target each other from miles away, often before the pilots can see each other except on radar.

•Precision bombing is the new priority, and despite modification, the Tomcat can’t carry the loads of the new F/A-18 Super Hornet.



•It’s too expensive in the long run. The jet that flew its first combat missions in September 1974 requires 50 hours of maintenance, compared with five to 10 hours for the Super Hornet, for each hour of flight time.

It was the best in its day. No other aircraft came close when it came to aerial dogfighting.
