Were he not 'a heartbeat away' from the Resolute Desk, Vance would be fairly hilarious with his highly polished stream of verbal idiocy and pig ignorance.

Plus if RMS Titanic not have had the whole 'iceberg thing', the Olympic Class had a rather impressive turning circle of 1,100 meters, at speed.

Well, Israel is now bombing Iran. So really, between the plane crash, that senator, LA riots and now this - it's been the most "unprecedented" day...this week!

I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE 1990s. This millennia is *NOT* what I was promised so far.
