The European Community yesterday announced their brand new Super Jumbo airliner, the gargantuan A380 produced by Airbus, which will seat 555 in First Class and about 2 million as a cattle car.
Meanwhile our Space Shuttle sits idle and we depend on a Russian supply ship, purportedly crafted from plywood and bailing wire, as the only lifeline to the International Space Station, with an astounding crew of two.
We seem to lack the money or vision to make progress in space or on Earth. We have only a single focus and that seems to be to deliver "democracy, peace and prosperity" to Iraq, this in the form of massive death from above. If you were one of the many who believed in WMD's winging their way across the Atlantic aboard drones made from trash cans and rubber bands...well, get over it. There are none, there were none and we're proud, standing tall, ready, willing and eager to place the widespread use of torture on 2-3 grunts while everyone else in higher positions who encouraged this abuse is being promoted, feted or showered with medals.
I don't know which tuxcedo to use for the coronation.
America. We serve burgers and coffee to the World.
