Right Thinking From The Left Coast
The Government is merely a servant -- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them. - Mark Twain

Blue Angels Hold First-Ever Open Tryouts
by Lee

From The Onion:

“He may have flunked the ‘near-miss’ part of the high-speed aerobatic pass, caused the death of a man with 17 years’ flight experience when he sheared the wing off of Cmdr. Hickock’s plane, vomited into his helmet, panicked, inverted the aircraft with the throttles maxed, and hit Mach 1 just before crashing into bleachers full of spectators with almost a full load of fuel,” Blue Angels commanding officer Brock Saxon said. “But he nailed the steep climb and the steep dive, and he certainly had showmanship. If there’s one thing I keep telling my cadets, it’s that you can’t teach enthusiasm. I think we all learned a little something about the power of raw enthusiasm here today.”

I’m fucking howling.

Hey, I was sitting at work today shitting myself laughing.  If you don’t like it, fair enough, it’s not for everyone.  But some of the shit in there was comedy gold.

Love this part…

With would-be pilots lining up by the thousands and crowds predicted to grow even larger over the next six days, the excitement and death toll are both expected to rise.

Highlarious
