Those of you who are aviation buffs, like myself, will appreciate the title.
Here we are on the 100th Anniversary of the invention of powered flight and we must be visited with extreme asshattedness from the London Guardian in this "op-ed" piece.
Is it just a coincidence that this guy's name is George Monbiot? Could that be the transliteration of our word, "Moonbat"? If so, we need to refer to Chirac and Villepin, from this day forward as Chirac de Monbiot and Villepin de Monbiot.
(We await Emperor Misha's declaration in the comments section. Quiet . . . I think I hear him coming.)
Commander Will,
Please excuse this totally off the subject comment. I just read your comment in Gut Rumbles where you mentioned the Tampa weather forecast. Your bio mentions Gulf Coast preferred, with the exception of Key West. If you're in the Tampa Bay area, so am I. Been a Tampa Bay area resident most of the time since January, 1967. Now I live east of Tampa, off I-4 just a few miles down the highway.
Just wanted to say hi to an almost neighbor.

So, you live in Brandon?
Actually, MS ANNA, I presently live Northwest of Atlanta, GA, In fact, I live a little further NW of Marietta, GA, in case you're consulting a map.
But, I do so miss Tampa. I miss my huge saltwater aquarium being 5 minutes from the Campbell Causeway, where I could catch sea horses and all manner of estuary life, as well as krill and "glass" shrimp to feed my fish. I miss the heat.
However, most of the people here are great. And I love being close to my nephews and nieces. My wife is really happy with her job, and I am looking to expand my horizons. Besides, I intend to become successful enough that I can spend time in the tropics during the winter, eventually.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. BTW, if you listen to Jack and Ted and ever call in, tell them Commander Will says, "Hi."
