US Navy welcomes the
USS Bill Clinton
Sunday, July 2, 2006 Vancouver , BC . Headed for Seattle,
WA., the US Navy welcomed the latest member of its fleet
The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today
from its home port of Vancouver , BC.
The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots.
The 20 person crew is completely diversified, including members of all races, creeds, and s**ual orientation.
This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter, is
specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all
out messages of apology in any language! to any one who
may find America offensive. The number of apologies are
limitless and though some may seem hollow and
disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound
national defense, but instead in times of conflict, the USS
Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada .
The ship may be positioned near the Democratic National
Party Headquarters for photo-ops. The Clintons Should be
very proud.
USS Barack Obama

As an individual who personally was involved in the rescue of Cuban refugees in the Florida Straits Jan-Mar ninetten sixty-three before redeploying to the Barents Sea for a second season of ’scientific data collection’ I find the linkage of Balacka O’Bama with a human tragedy a bit ironic. Follow the amada en route the Iran Blocakade by USA/UK/France and Israel …. End Times are approaching like a freight train in an Appalachian tunnel. Adios et al ************.
