OK, OBAMA CLOWN TIME IS OVER!

Things are now getting serious with the attempted Christmas Day bombing Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab. Even more disturbing is the idiotic statement from Obama's Homeland Security Sectratary Janet Napolitano who declared that the system worked in the failed bombing incident. No Ms. Stupido Napolitano the system did not work because this guy got on the plane. The reason why you think the system worked is because the terrorist have not produced a reliable detonator! Janet (no enforcement) Napolitano is now an official member of Obama's Clown Cabinet.

This is not the first time our Clownland Secretary Napolitano has tried to proclaim failure as really success. There was the time when: "Napolitano went on CNN’s “State of the Union” and proclaimed that crossing the border illegally is not a crime. This statement left a lot of folks scratching their heads given that U.S. law—the law Napolitano is sworn to uphold—says quite the opposite. Section 8, Title 1325 of the U.S. code clearly states that those who enter the U.S. illegally are committing a crime."

It may be too much to ask officials of the Obama administration to actually read and understand the laws they are supposed to enforce. Then again maybe it just a normal part of the policy in the Obama Administration where:

Boeing 787 Dreamliner or nightmare?

For the second week in a row I've watched the mainstream media stoke up the hype machine for another U.S. corporation. Last week it was Apple's Iphone. I think the I stands for idiot especially those that stood on line for three days waiting to buy it. Yesterday the mainstream media hype machine was gaga over the new Boeing 787 Dream liner plane. But, like the run up to the Iraq war the mainstream media is not asking some tough questions about the new "green" airliner. From watching the reports one of the things that makes the 787 so green and efficient is that it's body is made of a light weight carbon fiber composite. This worries me. From my reading about carbon fiber for use in sailboats carbon fiber is light and strong. But, it must be protected fron UV rays from the sun. That's not a problem because the carbon fiber is usually coated with a protective plastic but this covering can also hide cracks and fractures underneath. Carbon fiber also has a nasty habit of shattering when struck by lightning. On a sailboat this would mean it's time to turn on the engine. On an airplane flying at thirty thousand feet it could be a disaster. But. It does not even have to be that high for carbon fiber to show it's dark side when it comes to failures. Remember this crash of a plane with a carbon fiber tail? Maybe the engineers at Boeing have solved some of carbon fibers problems. All I know is I won't sleep easy on a Dreamliner until has a fairly good track record.
