The tale of the Truculent Turtle

Hey readers, if there are still any of you out there, check this out:

GullyDad has been working long and hard on researching and writing about an aviation feat that was vitally important, but is now largely forgotten.  The "Truculent" Turtle, a purpose-built P2V Neptune, set a distance and endurance record, flying non-stop from Australia to Ohio in 1946.  The link above is the result of his work.  Check it out, and consider a donation to help preserve this piece of aviation history.

Obama's Sotomayor - Supremely Ignorant and a Supreme Criminal

Online book details the ignorance and outright criminal behavior of Barak Obama's First appointment to the Supreme Court. An appointee that will impact Americans for decades.

Details at:

www.HowardDeanVermont.com

Especially chapters 9, 11 and 12 although the entire book details evidence presented to Sotomayor of massive corruption and crime in Howard Dean's Vermont that she chose to endorse. Her behavior is criminal and violates the ethical rules governing the conduct of both judges and attorneys.

Sotomayor should be impeached.
