McCain is in deep trouble, even his in-the-tank poll, Fox News, shows him losing the election. It's time for another gimmick. I have the perfect plan. I think he needs to capture Bin Laden using Patton's pearl handled revolver. I actually know where it is, it is over by mBear's house in the Fort Knox armor museum. bear needs to get it for him, and then McCain can call the premier of Pakistan, get Osama's email address, and then call Osama's ISP to get his local address. He can then drive over their from Afghanistan, capture Bin Laden and get lots of pics of him, Bin Laden, and the fabled revolver. it's a sure thing after that.

That is a quite a stretch . . . not all teenagers have acne . . .

I too know where it sits. Last time I was there, however the security of the new part of the museum was pretty tight. Even flashing a mil ID at the gate only gets you a 'polite' search of of your car. And I wasn't driving.

We can, however come up with a replica pretty quick.

The captured Iraqi/Soviet tank in the next room is pretty cool. I have lots pictures of the whole place somewhere, including The Great and Holy Patton Pistol. I really dug his own collection of militaria from his days as a young cav dude in the incursion into Mexico, he had flags, rifles and sashes that belonged to people who he probably killed.

The security was pretty tight when I was there, there is a point where you go thru these revolving bar things and when you come out the other side, you realize you are in a razor wire compound that let you in, but the only way out is past a bunch of guys in brown cammies who have guns. But once you get past them, the rest are all cute little Army girls. I bought a couple of T shirts. My kid wanted one that said "Jesus saves, Cav kills", but they didn't have one.

Well, well, it must have been too embarrassing. Here's a link from Rasmussen's site:
