Hammerhead Shark Diving by Shark Diver
To insure[sic] the best results we will be “chumming” the water with fish and fish parts. Consequently, there will be food in the water while divers are in the water. To insure your safety, we will usually have one or two crewmembers in the water as safety. Please be aware that these are NOT “cage” dives, they are open water experiences.
I wonder if they’ll be leaving this quote on their site… I wonder if they’ll still chum the water… I hope they’ll stay in business!

Maverick Republican Drops WC Bomb on Bush/Cheney
After passing out copies of the second chapter of Patrick Buchanan’s “Day of Reckoning”- as supporting evidence, Vaillancourt opened his remarks quoting “fools rush in where wise men fear to tread”-, and it sounded like a set up to condemn a rush to impeach.
