Fly in your livingroom

Plantraco’s RTF Butterfly – Fly in your Livingroom!:

Butterfly

Wow…. I’ve got to have one of these.  This is one of the most interesting and different “toys” I’ve seen in a while.

When I opened the link a while ago, I thought it was kind of interesting, but seeing the videos they have posted on their page makes me really want one.  Problem is, I know I’d tire of it w/in a few weeks, but I’ve always wanted to fly a model airplane.

Two interesting details — carbon fiber prop, and magnetic battery recharging.

Neat!

$220 Million+ For A Bridge To An Island With 50 People?!?

Right… another example of the President’s bigotry.  Republicans are supposed to be the “conservative” party, yet during five-year war which has put our nation into it’s biggest deficit EVER, he’s doing his best to continue his long-standing tradition of nepotism.

$220 Million+ For A Bridge To An Island With 50 People?!?:
Plastic::Politics::Politics:Dubya: President Bush signed a monstrous US$286.4 billion transportation bill that’s leaving critics dumbfounded with the amount of wasteful pork projects.

My favorite quote is from John McCain, one of the few Republicans (and fellow USNA alumnus) I respect.

(Source) But Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., one of four senators who opposed the bill, said the estimated $24 billion lawmakers directed to special projects was “egregious.” He has cited dozens of what he calls “interesting” projects. His favorite: $2.3 million for landscaping along the Ronald Reagan Freeway in California.
“I wonder what Ronald Reagan would say?” McCain asked about the fiscally conservative president.

No wonder his OWN PARTY smeared him during his own bid for the presidency — he calls it like it is.  Wish there were more of him.
