One Last Push for Bubblehead

Apparently this is one of those polls that allows you to vote more than once, kind of like elections in certain states. Keep it classy Minnesota!

Bubblehead needs one more push to insure victory, so click here and hit the bubble next to The Stupid Shall Be Punished and send the former submariner to the top.

Once that is done, get over to his place and join the discussion on the topic I know a lot of people have an opinion regarding. That's right folks, after 11 states in a row, a Virginia class submarine is now named after a politician. But there is a catch, at least its a Virginia politician. Doesn't USS John Warner (SSN 785) just roll off the tongue? There was a time when Senator Warner, a WWII vet, was for using names of historical and naval importance for naming warships. I miss that guy.

Does John Warner being from Virginia excuse this naming disruption? Does it even matter? Am I the only one sick and tired of watching history give way to political pandering when it comes to naming our Navy vessels? Look, this is the call of only one person, Secretary Winter, the Secretary of the Navy unless obligated by a Congressional bill (almost never happens) names ships.

I say the only ships that should be named for politicians should be logistics ships and support ships. If we did that, I bet then we would finally build much needed tenders and ice breakers!
