Aw, gee.  That wasn't politics. The old USSR is long dead.  It was a witty
comment, no more political than joking about corruption in the Grant
administration.  Some of you guys need to fertilize and cultivate your
senses of humor.  Or is humor prohibited on the porch these days?

And, while it might be a gunner's quadrant, we have been known to differ
over identification...

I haven't a clue what it is.  Probably a gunner's quadrant...

We all know that...Politics has no place on the porch.

It has already been established that it is not a woodworking related tool. A
porch member has stated that it is a "gunner's quadrant".

So again, let's leave the politics at home, or on a political blog.
