...Except for that really smart kid you know who studied for about three hours and will do better than you. In a cynical mood, eh? You might enjoy re-watching the hanging, drawing, and quartering of former Crimson President Jim Cramer '77 by John Stewart. While we're pleased Stewart has found a new target after his best buddy rode off into the sunset, FlyBy still holds a soft spot for Cramer from its days watching Mad Money as a budding i-banker (pre-crisis, of course) and this infamous clip...
Dining Hall: Eh. The dining room is beautiful, particularly in sunshine, but the servery garners a lot of (mostly-justifiable) ill will. It's cramped and has to outsource important culinary functions (anything drinkable, cereal, microwave) to assorted satellite sections of the dining hall...

Pentagon officials say the VH-71 isn't so much a modified EH-101 as it is a "whole new helicopter." Then, of course, there was the kitchen and bathroom for the 14 passengers (the new choppers can fly 300 miles, triple the range of the current Marines Ones, making such facilities desirable). The Navy, which buys all Marine aircraft, and its contractors simply...
