They're not paid to think, they're paid to entertain us.
They certainly have no business spouting off on political issues.
They're trained monkeys.
So shut up and do what you're paid to do!
Dance for me, monkey, dance!

I presume that goes for Charlton Heston as well? Ahnooold? Ronnie? Or just
the ones whose positions on issues disagree with your own?

Hi stranger,

Haven't you been in 'hibernation' from rah since the
end of February 2002? You're awakened by this
little skirmish?

Don't you think the mighty Capt Zoom is gonna
feel terribly slighted if he ever gets wind of this? g

He worked his way up. 16 years as president of a large, powerful
union before he ran for office. Popular governor, successful
President (unless you think the end of communism was a bad thing.)


What is China, a republic? The only thing that Ronnie did was out-spend the USSR, a good thing don't get me wrong, but
certainly not the end of communism...

Outspending the USSR was a big part of it, but not the whole thing.
Being willing to use the military was another. Invading Grenada seems
like nothing in retrospect, but we were coming off Carter, who's only
use for a military was... well basically nothing. And Reagan was
only 5 years removed from the fall of S Viet Nam. We were cowed by
everyone at that point, we wouldn't even defend our people in Iran.
Reagan turned our national outlook. He was the one who walked away in
Iceland.

China's a dictatorship, with a LOT of state owned businesses
(especially the People's Liberation Army - it's unbelievable how much
of the stuff you buy in Toys R Us is made by the PLA) but they're no
longer communist. They say so themselves.

The only countries that are still communist are Cuba and North Korea.
A bunch of SEA countries are wierd mixes - Viet Nam, Laos, Burma (we
still offically call it Burma). They're like China - one party
dictatorships, with a lot of the production and property belonging to
the government. But they no longer teach Marx, Lennin and Mao.

Nope. Don't know what gave you that impression. I've been otherwise
occupied and haven't posted a lot, but I've been in and out of here
regularly all along. I've posted in here nine out of 12 months this year,
including tweaking you for missing Pville again. (You could have driven!) I
even posted *from* Pville in May.

Makes me wonder who's *really* been hibernating, Bob!

Not sure I follow that one. But if you think it will make him feel better,
I'll repost a few of my favorite quotes from the 1980 NTSB hearing[1] which
found Jim Campbell:

"...not medically qualified to exercise the privileges of any class of
airman medical certificate now or for the next two years, due to the fact
that he does have a personality disorder that makes him unable to safely
perform those duties at the present time or within the next two years."

and:

"I think as a result of his personality disorder the Respondent, as
testified to by both Dr. Powers and Dr. Pakull, has and will in the future
- at least for the next two years and somewhat beyond - exercised poor
judgment.

"He has shown a lack of impulse control, feels little guilt or willingness
to assume responsibilities for his own acts, and would prefer placing that
blame on something else or someone else, rather than accept the
responsibility himself."

Think much has changed since then? Is "somewhat beyond" measured in decades?

Caution flying into Easern North Carolina. The local NC news is reporting
that security is being setup in such a way that those attending the
celebration "may" be able to see the president there. Could be hype...but?

Check the NOTAMS. Especially on the 17th.

If GW visits, then the TFR would keep the flier grounded - no transponder, radio, etc. I wonder what sort of waiver
would be required. Oh, I get it, no planes with a range of over 1000'...
