This kind of things seems to happen at least once a year.

I'm not registering to see that article...but, I suspect "Jewish Lightning"...you know.....an insurance fire.

I'm not going to register for local California news, either. I know that fire-fighting aircraft are based there. What were the aircraft involved in the fire and how did it start? I'm guessing Invaders and PBY Catalinas, since they're used for airborne fire-fighting bombing.

I remember 3 of the aircraft used in "Tora! Tora! Tora!" were lost in a hangar fire many years ago.

It is an expression that my Jewish ex-girlfriend's father used to use. It didn't offend him...he thought it was funny.

Are you jewish? As I understand it, the only people who are supposed to be able to use racist terms without being scum are the people at whom they are targeted.

I really don't care for the term or what it implies myself, no matter who uses it, but the above is just FYI as I understand it.

No big Curval, just remember that in person, there is much more context and personal history than on an anonymous bulletin board.

I thought it was funny. Tasteless, but I like tasteless!

People are way to quick to start trouble over nothing. I get sick of folks thjat wear their feelings on their sleeves, or even worst, those that wear *other* peoples feelings on their sleeves.

I simply hate bigots.

Again, context and personal history is everything. What works for the guys you grew up with does not work in public. Like I said, no big, he didn't mean ill by it, no blood, no foul.

the foul is with you gadfly. He meant absolutely no ill will as you have said. But you on the other hand meant absolutely no good. No offence, of course.
