Okay, Barack. So that whole jet rattling office buildings as it flew right by the site of the World Trade Center thing, that wasn't you. Okay. I'll accept that, because I like you. I'll go along with this not being on your head thing. But here's a little thought you might want to pass along to your staff.
If you guys get around to actually fixing the economy? And you're sort of saying to each other, "You know who's really going to be happy about this? The kids that aren't going to be in debt forever because we fixed the economy." Then you're going to realize, "Oh shit! Kids don't read the paper! We gotta celebrate this, and we gotta bring the celebration to them!" And you'll get your party planning people together and they'll be all, "You know what kids really love? T-shirt canons. They go CRAZY over T-shirt canons." And someone else will say "And those flag guns!" Someone will ask "Flag guns?" "Yeah! Flag guns! You know, those things that look like guns, but when you pull the trigger, a flag pops out and unfurls!"
So when they're done planning and they've figured out that the best way to brings high school and college aged kids onto the "hurray, the economy is fixed!" party boat is to burst into their schools with t-shirt canons and flag guns? Remind your staff to skip Virginia Tech and Columbine.
Because obviously, someone on your planning team is a retarded chimp.
It is not the fact that they cruised over the city, but the fact that they spent so much money for a photo opportunity. I thought that the mentality that produced the air carrier photo op with the Mission Accomplished sign had gone with the Dodo.
Get the word out to the military pleeze that we do not need more photos. We don't need them, don't want them, and I am offended that they even thought we needed them.
I live in California and Travis AFB a couple of years ago spent 6 million building a rehearsal hall for the military band. Not a performance venue, mind you but a rehearsal hall while the schools are cutting music programs.
For anyone who cares, here's the difference:
canon: regulation or dogma decreed by a church council
cannon: a large heavy gun usually mounted on a carriage
though from what i understand, the retarded chimp(s) actually gave the proper authorities a heads up of the training exercise they planned on doing yesterday.
and actually living in new york, i would also like to point out that new yorkers have a tendency of over-reacting. i didn't panic. of course, i'm not originally from new york, i'm from the south, so i tend to be more laid back than these high strung people who live here.
i think a lot is being made of this incident, but then, a lot is made of seemingly everything lately.
1) The idiotic NYC flyby that was done without giving the public a heads up (Here's a tip Obama/Bloomberg: fire/demote some people to show incompetent government employees will be held accountable.)
2) The TAX DOLLARS spent on this flyby. There are millions of unemployed peeps like me, some of whom are losing their unemployment benefits or houses. Surely there is a better use for our tax $.
Issues like the flyover and the Social Security ponzi, validate my low opinion of Fed and state governments.
Try meditation.
Good for your blood pressure and your temper.
Can you imagine if this happened on Bush's watch? There would be LOTS of people needing meditation. LOL
Good leaders lead by example. If you care about the environment, like I do, you don't burn 9,000+ gallons of fuel in AF1 for an Earth Day speech. You don't scare people by saying the economy may not recover absent a $750 billion bailout. Similarly, you respect the 911 survivors by not giving them a jumbo jet flyover that vividly reminds them of 911. Symbolism matters.
So yeah, I'm teed off because the examples I cited should be common sense, at least for a smart guy like Obama and his talented team. Am I nitpicking?
Have a nice day fellow bloggers. :-)
Someone should be fired with media coverage.
would have been easier if the author had just used "while"
I understand your panic, but you have to get some perspective.
