News From Slate

Really? Is that any way to refer to our brave sailors & Marines?

Heh... able bodied seamen.

Given the activities that horny sailors on shore leave seek out, "Nimitz Dicks in Hong Kong" is an appropriate headline.

"Heh. Indeed." Ed. Responds:

It does, especially when the blurb goes on to note that 5,000 horndogs will be ashore looking for love in all the wrong places. A more cynical editor might think that someone at Slate knew what s/he was up to, though "docks" is used when one clicks through.

But we'll bet most of them won't get much more than tailor-made uniforms w/ non-regulation dragons, etc., embroidered inside the cuffs.
