Voice from the Noise: If it wasn't True it would be Funny

700 On the Move

Vs-31 CAG Aircraft 700 is shot down the cat of the USS GW Washington, circa 2006. VS-31's final deployment before being decommissioned was onboard the USS Washington. The NG on the tail is the give away. Airwings attached to West coast aircraft Carriers are assigned the lead nemonic of "N" while those on the Atlantic are given "A". The 700 or double nuts aircraft in each aircraft is typically given special paint over and above that customary for a squadron aircraft and is usually offered to the Air Wing Commander. This aircraft is sporting an AWW-13 Weapons Data Link pod on that starboard wing pylon. This pod us used to relay video from an inflight missile (Maverick or SLAM-ER) or controls from the aircraft to the missile. There is an actual joystick at the Co-Pilot station that allows the operator at that station to actually fly the missle while it is in flight.

If it wasn't True it would be Funny

I visit several Blogs every day and several carry the "Day by Day" Cartoon series. These are really good in their comentary of the political scene. It is sharp and poignant and worth tracking down on a daily basis.

Here is today's Cartoon and it is a hoot.

If it was not possible it would not be funny, but I do see it happening with this administration that is so hung up on "The One".

How long is it before we start getting statues erected in all the town squares, when do we get the large bill boards with "The One's" vissiage plastered on them along our roadways with some kind of inspiring slogan, you know to get us through the day?

When does the FCC mandate the weekly PresBO show like is done down there in Hugo Chavas Land? I am figuring there won't be a Republican response message there either.

All this while our children are fighting for their lives in both Iraq and Afghanistan, the latter requiring "The One's" undivide attention right now but no, he has to get his ass on Letterman for a whloe hour, he has to rush off to win the Olympics for his "home" town of Chicago.

Oh, what have we got ourselves into.
