Air cruise

Too pretty to miss. I still think, thunderstorms or no thunderstorms, this thing would be a lot more fun to travel in than any cruise ship or jetliner–unless you were in a hurry, of course. But, still…. 

College free-fire zones

I’ve declared a personal moratorium on reading/watching any more MSM accounts of people shooting up American college campuses–and the pathetic candlelight vigils held afterward with their ritual tears and lame-o remarks. They are all the same. Only the names change. "I never thought it could happen here," etc., is the equivalent of "it sounded like a freight train" about tornadoes. These places are run by morons who have turned them into free-fire zones for any wacko who wants to be profiled in the media, maybe even get a Hollyweird biopic, if he slays imaginatively enough. Last year it was Virginia Tech. This year it’s Northern Illinois. One more reason–in addition to the expense and the liberal indoctrination–not to send your kid to college. In fact, it would be better to take the money saved and invest it in stocks and bonds. By the time he was forty, he could retire.

Well, he’s promised to be different

Hilarity’s secret weapon

While the suckers hustle down to the elementary schools to vote for Obama-rama and CHANGE, the real action is out where Hilarity and Slick Willie are passing out "campaign contributions" to the Democrat Superdelegates. Buying their votes, get it?. And I thought the Texas Lege had cornered the market on legal political graft. These Democrat Superdelegates will vote for the one who bought ’em at the proper time and that one will get the nomination. ‘Course we’ll have to wait to see which candidate gives out the most bucks. Barry and Michelle must figure they will. "Yes We Can!" But I’d bet on Hilarity, because, I mean, think about it: Every minute those old Clinton retainers from ’92-’00 who want to get their jobs back are out beating the bushes for more bucks.

UPDATE: Strange that there’s no mention of the bought-and-paid-for part here.

Private sky yacht

Fifty-three hundred square feet cruising at 130 mph up to 12,000 feet high, the Aeroscraft, a whale-shaped helium airship, is a long way from the explosive Hindenberg. Now, with Defense Advanced Research Project Agency funding for a militarily-useful version, Aeroscraft may finally get off the ground. Sure would be a lot more comfortable than the faster but cramped aluminum sausage.

The multicult

91  Sharia is Englishe as tea and scones,

92  So everybody muste get stoned.

93  The pilgryms shuffled for the door

94  To face the rule of the Moor;

95  Poets, Professors, Starbucks workers

96  Donning turbans, veils and burqqas.

97  As they face theyr fynal curtan

98  Of Englande folk, one thynge is certan:

99  Dying by theyr own thousande cuts,

100  The Englande folk are folking nuts.

101 BURMA SHAVE

From Iowahawk’s brilliant, fractured Chaucer: The Tale of the Asse-Hatte

“Can we fix it…?

….Yes, We Can!"

I confess that the person Obama most reminds me of is Bob the Builder.

Well, sort of. Of course, they use their charisma very differently. BtB is a can-do fellow, not a nanny-stater like Obama out to tax Scoop, Muck and Wendy to pay Spud to do it.
