THe USS Gabrielle Giffords

It could be a threat.
It's been suggested that the the shooting was an assassination attempt.
Soros, Energy companies, Ahsley Turton, NC Solar vs. Nuclear, etc.

The backstory reads like a Robert Ludlum novel.

Now then Chello....I wrote about the Sullivans because other folks were talking about naming ships posthumously after military heroes and I was loosely using it as an example, although I obviously should have explained that.

Oops....I did not know what a "troll" was (in computer lingo) although I had seen the word before in posts. Ignorant ol' biddy! Well, now I know and I have an awful feeling that I have probably offended many times in this way. Mea culpa! Never let it be said though that Granny can't take a hint, lol! I shall offend no more (well, not until the next time anyway!) HOWEVER, re-read the posts from everyone else, there are quite a few at least semi-trolls! I mean, how does visiting Jimmy Carter's Presidential Library relate to naming of ships, e.g.

And, Chello, you were skating on VERY thin ice (in spite of being in a hot Australian summer) by not adding the -ope! But let's face it, my days of being even slightly "trollopy" are long past, hah.

I shall be watching with my eagle eye and I shall swoop down on you if you vary even a mm. from the thread topic in future, lol!! You have been warned!

Joking aside, I do love your posts, Chello! Always something there to make me think (or laugh, or cry, or.....)

Now, I just realized that by answering your post I have "trolled" again. Gadzooks, there is no end to it. I'm getting out of here before I cause any more trouble, lol.

Suggest a rereading of the meaning of "TROLL". It occurs here far less frequently than one may think. Just sayin'.......

The ship should be named after one of the recent Medal of Honor recipients. They are far more deserving of the honor.

That is the way it should be.

It is a shame about what happened to ms giffords and i wish her a speedy recovery but why name a ship after a minor politician whose only claim to fame is that she was almost assasinated by some nut job? Her political party means nothing to me. MoH recipient would have been a better choice.
