Who else believes - apart from me - that the current unbelievable stubborness of those tea party clowns is based mainly on Obama not being their exact skin color? You're likely joined by the same people who when asked about, say, atheism quickly reply that "Hitler was an atheist" (which h...

So what do you think, Ike? Will there be some sort of a compromise to avoid state bankruptcy a few seconds before the US gov'nt runs out of money? Or will they let the sh** hit the fan? DER SPIEGEL has identified the real reason for the current situation btw: its name is Grover Norquist. According t...

Bah, fewer buttons, screens and dials than in the engine control room of the average 80'ies cargo ship. Less space too.
Cool picture.

Ain't it good enough if he crosses behind an N-registered plane?

That came as a shock. The show was almost over - it was the last pass of the dissolving 'Balbo' formation of 27 planes that always marks the end of the airshow. I was standing (or rather: sitting) with my wife near the control tower and watched the leader of the three-plane vic breaking (that was th...

Welcome back Alessandro!

... I would start planning combined air/sea/land raids on Moody's, Standard&Poor's and Fitch right away.
They do have the necessary weaponry for their feud with Turkey, don't they?
