A USN aircraft carrier should not, under any circumstances, be named the Barry M. Goldwater. While I’ll concede that Goldwater would probably be a better choice from the perspective of US history than either Carl Vinson or John C. Stennis, the idea that any of them deserve a supercarrier is simply absurd. The next US CVN should be the William Jefferson Clinton; he was a two termer, a better President than either George H. W. Bush or Gerald Ford, and more popular than Ronald Reagan. Any wingnuts who would feel wobbly about serving on the USS William Jefferson Clinton can go fuck themselves. And no, USS Enterprise is not an acceptable alternative, at least not for CV-79. I’m open to naming a future carrier after the Enterprise, but not this one; I’m tired of the conceit that Republican Presidents get CVs, but not Democratic ones. We can talk about George W. Bush after the USS Lyndon Baines Johnson is commissioned, although I’m guessing that Bush the Younger will still be residing in Nixon’s Locker when the time comes…

I am so tired of searching for ways to make money online only to stumble upon hundreds of different sales landing pages that offer me their fantastic ebook! Youve seen these websites, they promise you thousands of dollars per month ONLY after you pay $49 or $99 for their downloadable ebook. If you are like me, youve taken the bait on more than just a few of these. Then you get the ebook only to learn that their system is way more complicated or difficult then advertised. You wind up giving up and they get your $49. Fun times!
