In another edition of "At Least They're Not Your Legislators," we head across the Atlantic Ocean, where more than 150 ships from three dozen nations are preparing to take part in a mock sea battle marking the 200 year anniversary of the victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Seventeen ships from five countries will take part in Tuesday's mock battle, which will be watched by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II and thousands of spectators. The battle will involve 10 tons of gunpowder, state-of-the-art pyrotechnics and a replica of Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, where he died when a musket ball hit his spine during the famous battle that gave Britain supremacy of the seas for more than a century.
Obviously Britain isn't dealing with TABOR reforms.
"Obviously Britain isn't dealing with TABOR reforms."
Apparently neither is the U.S. as we sent the USS Saipan to represent at the event...

Is that "revisionist history" if the Saipan participates in the battle?

I'm appalled if the U.S. is sending a battleship to fight with the monarchy against republicanism!

Did anyone see the political correctness angle on this one? (I hate to shamelessly flog my site, but I'm bouncing it back here.)
