Couldn't make this stuff up if they tried..... Annapolis grads and all naval/USMC officers told to leave swords at home....the Dear Leader apparently fears beheading....by his own military! http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/21/inside-the-beltway-97423759/print/ May 21, 2009 Inside the Beltway John McCaslin <http://washingtontimes.com/staff/john-mccaslin/> (Contact<http://washingtontimes.com/staff/john-mccaslin/contact> ) SWORDLESS SAILORS Graduating midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis are being told in writing to leave at home or in their vehicles all "ceremonial swords" and anything else "that might be considered a weapon or a threat by screeners" for Friday's outdoor commencement ceremonies featuring an address by *President Barack Obama*. Inside the Beltway has obtained the academy's list of prohibited items for this year's graduation exercises, which, besides ceremonial swords, includes umbrellas. Yes, cell phones and texting are still allowed. __,_._,___ -- *~@):~{> -- *~@):~{> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
