The Age of the 707

That smoke is from the 1,700 pounds of water injection the J 57s used for take off. (Note where the airplane is.  Manly pilots lifted just to the overrun stripes and sucked the gear out from under them within feet of the ground … Talk about trusting your mechanics and confidence!)

Those were the good ole days. Pilots back then were men that didn’t want to be women or girly-men. Pilots all knew who Jimmy Doolittle was. Pilots drank coffee, whiskey, smoked cigars and didn’t wear digital watches.
 
They carried their own suitcases that didn’t have wheels, and their brain bags like the real men that they were. Pilots didn’t bend over into the crash position multiple times each day in front of the passengers at security so that some sub-contracted, foreign-born, barely literate Gov’t agent could probe your butt cheecks for tweezers or fingernail clippers or too much toothpaste.  ADIZ was the name of the stewardess you picked up deadheading from Mexico City to LaGuardia.

Pilots did not go through the terminal impersonating a caddy or an Avon lady by pulling a bunch of golf clubs, computers, guitars, and feed bags full of tofu and granola on a sissy-trailer with no hat and granny glasses hanging on a pink string around their pencil neck while talking to their personal trainer on the cell phone!

Being an airline captain was as good as being the King in a Mel Brooks movie. All the stewardesses (aka. flight attendants) were young, attractive, single women that were proud to be combatants in the “sexual revolution” against the miserable, chain smoking, divorcees turned lesbian who wish they looked half as good as that guy Rachael Maddow on CNN.  They didn’t have to turn sideways, grease up and suck it in to get through the cockpit door. They would blush and say thank you when told that they looked good, instead of filing a sexual harassment claim. Junior Stewardesses shared a room and talked about men … with no thoughts of substitution.

Passengers wore nice clothes and were polite; they could speak AND understand English. They didn’t speak California school system-sanctioned Ebonic-gibberish or listen to loud gangsta rap on their IPods with headphones larger than the earmuffs the guys wore on the tarmac! Back then, passenegers bathed and didn’t smell like a rotting pile of garbage in a velure jogging suit and leather flip-flops. Children didn’t travel alone, commuting between trailer parks. There were no Mongol hordes asking for a seatbelt extension or a Scotch and grapefruit juice cocktail with a twist.

If the Captain wanted to throw some offensive, ranting jerk off the airplane, it was done without any worries of a lawsuit or getting fired. He was the captain and that was the law. Don’t like it? “Take a Greyhound,” he’d tell you.

Axial flow engines crackled with the sound of freedom and left an impressive black smoke trail like a locomotive burning soft coal. Jet fuel was cheap, it came from Texas and once the throttles were pushed up they were left there, after all it was the jet age damnit and the idea was to go *fast*. “Economy cruise” was something in the performance book, but no one knew why or where it was. When the clacker went off no one got all tight and scared because Boeing built it out of iron— nothing was going to fall off and that sound had the same effect on real pilots then as Viagra does now for those new age guys with grey pony tails.

There was very little plastic and no composites on the airplanes—or the Stewardesses’ pectoral regions. Airplanes—and women—had eye pleasing symmetrical curves, not a bunch of ugly vortex generators, ventral fins, winglets, flow diverters, or tattoos, little rings in their nose, tongues and eyebrows.

Airlines were run by men like C.R. Smith and Juan Tripp who had built their companies virtually from scratch, knew most of their employees by name and were lifetime airline employees themselves … not pseudo financiers and bean counters who flit from one occupation to another for a few bucks, a better retirement parachute or a fancier title to impress their chums at the raquetball club, while fervently believing that they are a class of beings unto themselves.

And so it was back then … and never will be again.

May the Ten Commandments guide all your choices and our laws.  After all- they’re enscribed into the doors of the Supreme Court!  And yes, that’s Moses carved into the apex of the roofline of the building…  back when men were men and liberals were laughed at openly.

What year was it when you first recall AMERICA LOSING ITS MANHOOD?

“At what age is it acceptable to you, regardless of legality where you live, to kill a really ugly baby?”

Please take the poll and pass it on.  Yes, you have to be on Facebook to participate, but who’s not?

Obama wants you to turn on your friends and neighbors and report them to the White House especially if they send you an email talking about not liking the new socialized healthcare plan.  The White House would then have a complete list of every name and email account for anyone who dissents from the party line and could take action behind the scenes to make their opponents and friends of their opponents simply go away.  Not unlike maneuvering we’ve seen locally if you’re not a purified brownshirt of a Republican faction du jour.

Today, I’m sad for America, I’m sad for loss of our freedoms and I’m sad for our Republic. But I’ll never wear a brown shirt for any candidate who asks me to do things against my better judgement, no matter how many of my friends she calls a “coward” for not acting as a private henchman. Not all Republicans are drones. Some actually believe in democracy still.  If you don’t- go FLAG YOURSELF at least- for the Fatherland of course.

So we’ve got a conundrum … We’re a right of center blog—”clearly”, I know.

In the Falmouth District of Stafford County, VA, there’s a three-way race for supervisor this November 3.

Doug Filler is out for our endorsement not solely because he’s a Democrat, but because he’s George Schwartz’s hand picked successor to this throne of power, and because Filler ardently supports imposing the BPOL tax on businesses calling it “revenue” for his vision of a bigger stronger government. Republicans are simply for minimal government and more personal decisions and freedoms so he’s an easy nix for our endorsement.

Thus, we would typically endorse the Republican slate of candidates, but in this particular district race, there’s 2 that fit the bill:

Susan Stimpson, a newcomer to Stafford County, has earned her GOP credentials in spades having served on several winning campaigns’ staff and as the county GOP Chairman for the past 2 years. She makes no apologies about being labeled the Republican nominee and despite having no public service experience, knows how to campaign hard and has the support of most of the behind-the-scenes party faithful.  Whether that’s a positive or not depends on your perspective.

Mark Osborn, a lifelong Stafford resident and local employer has served as the supervisor already from 2002-2005 and had earned the full backing of the exact same GOP party faithful last time he ran for the seat under the Republican banner until he was narrowly defeated by 200+ votes by “It’s always some developer’s fault” George Schwartz. Osborn has always considered himself a Republican according to the core values and creed, and says he chose to not run under the label this time because he’s tired of the party bickering that is so prevelant on the current board and hopes that this gesture will prove that he’s willing to listen to all sides of an issue and make the best decision for the residents.

Both candidates oppose the BPOL tax and both consider themselves Republicans when it comes to decision making. In the true spirit of democracy, you the voter get to choose!

Who would you vote for if the election were held today? Would you choose experience and a record of service or a political party’s superwoman with a clean slate?

May the screeds against me for even asking the question begin now!

This is the second of two posts which takes a look at the ObamaCare “Healthcare” Bill that Nancy Pelosi, Waxman, and Obama are trying to ramrod down America’s throat. Regardless of your party today, if this is passed as written, we can kiss our country goodbye tomorrow. This isn’t about healthcare at all, it’s all about total control of your private lives!

Don’t believe me?  Think it’s being ‘radical’ or ‘extreme’ to say this? … READ THE BILL YOURSELF! Post a response and debate the issue but for America’s sake, on the off chance that this is exactly as bad as it seems- call your congressman and tell him/her to not vote for this bill or any trace of it!

Thanks to BOA for breaking these next 500 pages down for us (for the first 500 page breakdown, click here: first 500 pages explained):
