(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Imagine this is your cruise ship:

Largest plane in the world (yes, larger than the Airbus A380), the Russian Antonov AN-225:

And finally, James May of BBC's Top Gear takes a ride in a U-2/TR-1 training variant to 70,000 feet and beyond:

Say a prayer for the people of Japan; they'll be a long time in rehabilitating their country.

Bob Mack said...: Man, that U2 vid was good. What a ride.; Sat Mar 12, 03:47:00 PM PST
Well Seasoned Fool said...: Had the opportunity to tour the AN 225 at a Paine Field, Everett, WA air show. Very impressive. I was most interested in the remarks of the Boeing people. To a man and woman, they seemed impressed.

My eye opener was watching the Russians. They were either in cheap, dirty coveralls, or expensive suits. Hardly a paradise for the workers but high living for the bosses.; Sat Mar 12, 04:24:00 PM PST

There are only 3 classes of human beings.
They are Caucasian, Asian and Negroid.
All others are a mix.
It has always been said that the heat of the sun cooked out all intelligence in the brains of those living nearest the Equator.; Sun Mar 13, 07:28:00 AM PDT

Super videos, BZ....I simply can't imagine being on that cruise ship; I don't see how anybody could survive having at least a couple of broken bones....I hope most of them were okay!

Have a super Sunday!; Sun Mar 13, 12:15:00 PM PDT
Old NFO said...: OBTW, that cruise ship is DIW, and THAT is why she's trying to roll over...; Sun Mar 13, 01:46:00 PM PDT
David Wyatt said...: Just sitting in front of the computer, I STILL got chills watching those awesome jets! IMHO, number 2 should have been number one. If I'd have been the guy standing there, "number 2" would take on new meaning!

You are so right about Japan, BZ. Have been & still am praying for them.; Mon Mar 14, 07:10:00 PM PDT

Bloviating Zeppelin

: Name: Bloviating Zeppelin; Location: Sierra Nevada Mountains, Fornicalia, United States

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
