I reached out on my last visit in March but their was no alignment then. Save me a stool at the next one!!

I'm not agreeing nor disagreeing with the above statement however; if a statement like that is made and is to be taken seriously, it should be backed up with facts.

We all knew him as simply the Professor.

Russell Johnson, the actor known as the quirky, smart Gilligan's Island character, Professor Roy Hinkley, has died at age 89.

ABC News confirmed with the actor's wife, Constance, that Johnson died Thursday morning of kidney failure.

"He died at home, peaceful, in his sleep at 5:21 am today," she said. "(He was) a very brave guy who knew what he wanted, and he wanted to be at home."

Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on the show, posted a note on Facebook, reports TMZ, that said, "My 2 favorite people are now gone. The professor past (sic) away this morning. My heart is broken." She added, "Russell was a true gentleman, a good father, a great friend..."

Gilligan star Bob Denver died in 2005. Alan Hale Jr. died in 1990. And Jim Backus died in 1989.

Originally from northeastern Pennsylvania, Johnson served in World War II before pursuing an acting career. He appeared in several TV programs in the 1950s and '60s, including Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone. But he was best known for his 98 episodes of Gilligan's Island, which aired from 1964 to 1967.

Johnson, a resident of Bainbridge Island, Wash., leaves behind his wife and a daughter, Kim.

No question, the worst music video I have ever seen.

Bottled water, bath water, silver water, (for you, Cav) toilet water, well water......lots of water to differentiate from.

Very informative.......for those of you that can read it. For people like me....it's a waste of space. I thought this was an English-based forum?

Then quit........

The VP follows the same rules as the President as far as eligibility per Article 2 of the US Constitution.

That may have been the best fuckin video ever posted. ...............................NOT!!

Now I can rest easy. Charles Barkley weighed in.

Computer glitch: AA grounds all flights through 5 pm ET

American Airlines has grounded all of its flights through 5 p.m. ET because of a computer glitch.

More than 520 flights on American and regional affiliate American Eagle had been canceled as of 3:15 p.m. ET, according to flight-tracking service FlightStats.

Ouch....that's gonna leave a mark.

A comedic biggie, (no pun intended) Jonathan Winters is, gone.

Jonathan Winters, who was known for his improv work that inspired many a contemporary stand-up comic including Robin Williams, Jim Carrey and others, has died. He was 87.

Longtime family friend Joe Petro III says Winters died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, reports AP.

One of the USA's greats...

 

Annette Funicello was my dream crush

 

http://edition.cnn.c...ello/index.html

Of course it's sad she's dead but if she is one of the USA's greats, we are in deeper shit than I already thought we were in.

Just for the record......how many of the roughly 240k employees at DHS are armed? If 100k are armed, that's 16,000 rounds per employee. I refer again to shelf life cuz if they train twice a month, which is more than what you said is required, that is 2666 rounds per practice session in a year. A year of stored ammo begins to degrade.

Yeah, you're right....I should have thought about this a little more.

btw......the military does not fall under the DHS.

Ok....1.6 BILLION. My mistake. That's a fair number apparently.

Hahahahaha.....airlines buying fuel and DHS buying ammunition are not even in the same galaxy. Fuel gets used everyday by the airlines and won't be wasted. What is the DHS going to do with 20 years worth of ammunition? Doesn't it have a "shelf life"?

Yup......good idea. Get rid of airplanes. All of life can take place over video.

Should he have driven instead?

And a former LEO. Which is worse???

I'm aware what thread it is.......take a look at who started the thread. And you should learn to recognize sarcasm a touch more. You've also mistaken my nationality which some Aussies here would strongly object to.

Nope, that's the answer. Get rid of all legal weapons. It's the only way. Just ask the people on this forum that don't live here. It's the only answer.

Think about it. You ban all legal weapons, then there is absolutely no way at all that anyone could ever get a gun, right? Think about it.

Yeah, good idea - arm everyone up... what could go wrong? Been no problems so far has there?

Yes, I agree. I think the U.S. government should ban ALL weapons. That would solve the problem.

Indeed

The theory behind this is to get these folks to pass a driving test.

For what purpose? The state lawmakers go through the process to allow illegals a privilege that they are not entitled to as they should not be in the USA to begin with. Am I missing something?

This is like allowing a burglar to enjoy a sandwich in the house he broke into just because he's already there. And then when he walks out of the house, which is surrounded by police, he is allowed to go on his way.

Somebody please explain to me how this makes any sense whatsoever. I thought the USA had a border problem? I thought the USA wanted to keep illegals out? I mean, they have people giving their lives trying to do that. Please, someone with more brain power than me, explain how this makes any sense.

Illinois Passes Drivers Licenses for Illegal Immigrants

by Warner Todd Huston 9 Jan 2013 240 post a comment

After a vote on January 8, Illinois is set to join only two other states, New Mexico and Washington, to allow illegal immigrants to apply for state drivers licenses. A third state, Utah, allows illegals to drive on temporary permits.

The 65-46 vote where 11 Republicans, some in leadership positions, joined Democrats to extend legal licenses came after a long, heated debate (SB 957).

Conservative activist William J. Kelly criticized the law.

"This kind of legislation has spurred a serious fraud problem in New Mexico and other states where it has been enacted," Kelly wrote in the State Journal-Register. "Papers have been forged, auto repair shops have been regularly listed as places of residence, and more illegal driver’s licenses schemes have caused headaches for law enforcement as foreigners from other countries come to the state to fraudulently receive a U.S. driver’s license."

Indeed, New Mexico's Governor has been fighting to repeal her state's licenses for illegals law.

Safety concerns were foremost in mind of detractors of this bill. One of the biggest concerns was that fingerprinting is not included in the law.

Supporters claimed that the bill would show Illinois to be a "welcoming" place for law-abiding illegal immigrants that just want to work and make a living.

"Our entire state would benefit from Senate Bill 957. If only half the 250,000 get [temporary licenses] and get insured, Illinois insurance policy holders would save $46 million per year," said Rep. Edward Acevedo (D-Chicago) on January 7. "Police officers would be able to know who they're stopping."

But at least one Illinois police chief disagreed with Rep. Acevedo. During the debate on the bill Hanover Park Police Chief David Webb told the House Transportation Vehicles & Safety Committee that there just weren't enough safety measures in the bill.

"Without these basic public safety and homeland security safeguards, this bill is unsafe," Chief Webb said.

Despite Rep. Acevedo's claim that more drivers will become insured with his law, the bill does not require proof of insurance before an illegal immigrant can get his license. Supporters say that such a requirement is unnecessary as the law already states that drivers have to be insured to drive in the Land of Lincoln. Further a provision in the law maintains that a police officer can confiscate the license if the illegal immigrant cannot produce proof of insurance on demand.

Detractors also point out that number of insured drivers did not materially increase in Washington or Arizona after those states passed their drivers licenses for illegals bills.

Some illegal immigrant activists said that the bill may not make much difference because lawbreaking illegals won't likely trust subjecting themselves to the government to sign up for the new privileges.

"It's asking immigrants to hand over all their information to the state and I just think there's going to be a real reluctance there if the people are not legal citizens in the country," said Cristobal Cavazos, Immigrant Solidarity DuPage.

Applicants must be able to show residency in the state for a year before being afforded the three-year license which will called a Temporary Visitor Driver’s License.

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn said he will sign the bill.
