Entry: Elba, Towelheads, & Dog-Fighting Quarterbacks Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/elba_towelheads_dog_fighting_quarterbacks#2985 Post contents: Taki, your account of your Med cruise refreshes my memory, when I too was sailing from Malaga to Palma to Genoa to Naples to Capri to Crete to Haifa in the 1980's courtesy of Military Sealift Command as a member of the crew, deck division. I too thought Napoleon a hero during my youth, then I realized the greatness and truth and significance of the Catholic Church over the last two thousand years and Nappy fell by the wayside. The few historical anecdotes and images that I have heard or seen of Maria Walewska, have caused me to think she was a most beautiful woman, one whom I would have courted myself. I absolutely agree with your comments and judgment concerning the so-called prince of Qatar. Nevertheless, that does not make me a supporter of W's war. I think I would like to sit with you on the fantail of your yacht and drink a liberal libation of Jameson Whiskey (12 years old or better), smoke Macanudos and gaze upon the wild beauty of the Med and the gorgeousness of some of her ports. To Paul Gottfried, I agree with your comments, ABSOLUTELY! Sent at: 2008 07 24
