In yesterdays blog, I said that the USO (unidentified submerged object) was 20 meters across. Many people have corrected me. It is 60 meters across. Quite a difference. As one person said (paraphrasing) “Whatever it turns out to be, we should get the dimensions right.”
It appears that one of the first things on the hit list of the new austerity program just passed by Congress and signed by the President is the FAA. You know, the guys in the control towers who watch the planes on radar and tell them not to run into each other, and the ones who do safety inspections on planes, those guys. The federal government is asking them, very nicely, to stay on the job even though they might not get paid for a while. This might work if they were all independently wealthy type people, but I have a sneaking suspicion some of them might actually be counting on that paycheck, and will be forced to find some other way to make a living. Expect canceled flights in the near future. Plenty of them.
Pat Buchanan is proof that smart people can be serious dumbasses sometimes. In an interview with Al Sharpton, he called President Obama “your boy.” Sharpton blew up. Pat said he didn’t mean anything racist by it. It was a sports metaphor. Bullshit, Pat. It’s not the first time you’ve made racist comments and you are well known as someone who is conscious of language. You knew perfectly well what you were saying. Here’s a suggestion for you, if you don’t want everybody to think you are a racist shitsack: try referring to President Obama as “President Obama.” Practice it in front of a mirror a few times. It’s easier than you think.
Teabaggers in Wisconsin sent out a flyer to thousands of Democratic voters, reminding them to get their ballots in by August 11th. The only problem is, the election is on the 9th. They said it was a typo. Sure it was. Just like Pat Buchanan’s “sports metaphor.”
