What is Orson most famous for? The Mercury Theater of the Air broadcast of War of the Worlds that caused wide-spread panic. Maybe Moore has more in common with Orson than you are giving him credit for.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/hi_fires_3_jul.html#comment-61890 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/hi_fires_3_jul.html#comment-61890 Tue, 03 Jul 2007 14:15:16 -0600 Fun stuff, I bet his smooth bore someplace 'over there' comment is better than ammonia up the nose of a US tanker. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/hi_fires_3_jul.html#comment-61884 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/hi_fires_3_jul.html#comment-61884 Tue, 03 Jul 2007 11:05:31 -0600 I figured the Tankers would sputter.
