The Mud and the Muck
The USS Intrepid aircraft carrier, home to a very good museum from its dock on the west side of Manhattan in the Hudson River, is set to undergo some renovations downriver in Bayonne, NJ. Today it
received some praise as it was about to set off for Bayonne:
"The Intrepid stands for everything we believe in ... our freedom and our values," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said at the sendoff ceremony.
Only, things didn't go according to plan. It got stuck in the mud. Lots of mud.
Kind of like our freedom and values.
