A perfect first "mission" for a ship named after my friend's father
The ship is still undergoing testing in its first deep water trials. We were there when Ann Zumwalt christened it. We're all pretty sure Bud (Elmo Zumwalt, Ann's dad, hated by Nixon for giving equal status to women and blacks as Secretary of the Navy) would have been thrilled to hear that this was the first "action" it saw: not combat, but rescuing an American fisherman who was having a heart attack. Kudos to Rachel Maddow for considering it worthy of including in her show.

*PS--that part about the captain being named James Kirk is for real.

DFW is a narcissist who will tie himself to any current event to make himself appear more connected and relevant than he probably is.

Geezuz gawd, Marc's a champion at name-dropping.....like the moon, which borrows its radiance from the sun.

This guy's so full of it it's a wonder he doesn't burst.
