From the desk of Jane Galt:ANOTHER DREAM SHATTERED Perusing the
ANOTHER DREAM SHATTERED
Perusing the new Weekly Standard, I came across an item in their scrapbook (subscription may be required; I have one, so I can't tell what's subscriber material & what's not). Don Rumsfeld announced that they aren't parachuting horses into Afghanistan because they get enough broken ankles with people.
I adore roller coasters with a passion seldom found in one so young, and have wanted to try skydiving for a long time. I was held back because my ankles are weaker than Bill Clinton's excuses for the Rich pardon. I have sprained my ankle walking along perfectly level surfaces. However, two friends who tried it swore up and down that you couldn't break your ankles because the jump boots are so stiff. I think I'll believe Rumsfeld over people who took a three hour class at a suburban airport, thank you. So no skydiving for Megan.
