Crop dusting in four engine Lockheed Constellation?

The story on Fox, is that an old Air Force Constellation, which had carried president Eisenhower, making it the first Air Force 1, is sitting in the boneyard at Davis Montham, hoping for someone to fix it up and make it a museum piece.  According to the news, the Air Force retired the Connie from service in the 1970's and it got sold to some enterpreneur who planned to use it for crop dusting.
  That I want to see.  The Constellation is a big four engine airliner.  The thought of swooping across a cornfield at 50 feet spraying insecticide is daunting. 

Real jobs and Government Jobs

Real jobs produce salable goods, valuable intellectual property, entertainment that people will pay to enjoy, transportation, or communication.  The more people we have working real jobs, the more wealth our society has. 
   Government jobs consume wealth, they don't create it.  Government workers pay comes from funds taken away from people who earned it at real jobs. 
   Moral of the story.  You cannot solve unemployment by giving people government jobs.  You have to stimulate the real economy to create more real jobs. 

Rudi Guiliani

I don't believe I would have trashed Obama quite so hard myself, but now that Rudi has, I cannot disagree with him all that much.

Add Grated Cheese

Those frozen french bread pizza's.  The best of the frozen pizza breed, which ain't saying much.  I added a good hand full of grated cheese before sticking it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350F.  Improved it a good deal.  Still not anywhere close to real pizzeria pizza, but better.  Especially when it's 5 below zero and a half an hour drive to Gold House Pizza in Littleton, NH.

John Bolton for Secretary of State

If we can elect a Republican president in 2016, I recommend he appoint John Bolton as Secretary of State. 

Let's call 'em scumbagi's

Obama has gone to great lengths to avoid tagging the enemy as "Islamic".  He gave two wordy speeches on the subject, today and yesterday, stressing the notion that we don't want to offend the one billion Islamics in the world.
   OK, Obama, but we gotta call 'em something.  You cannot run a war against nothing, you have to give it a name.  This thing that needs a name, is the ideology of terrorists who burn captives alive and behead Christians.  We might call it Wahabism, although that would frighten the bejesus out of the Saudis.  We might call it Jehadism although that doesn't sound bad enough.  Calling them ISIS/ISIL/IS is naming the political organization that gives the greatest offensive today.  It isn't their ideology.  Tomorrow these same religious crazies will form another organization with another name.  We need to focus on the thing that makes the crazies crazy, their beliefs and ideology.  We could call them scumbagi's but it's a new word that needs to be given some meaning.
    We are at war with the scumbagis because they kill people, burn people alive, kidnap school girls, blow up our skyscrapers, shoot newsmen, kill aid workers, bomb trains and subways, enslave women, and they think all these atrocities perfectly are all right to do.   Well we don't think this violence is all right to do. 

Cannon Mountain Ski Weather

Good news.  We got 6 inches of nice fresh powder over night.  More is forecast.  It's warmed up to 20, which is balmy for Cannon.  No wind, so the snow is still on the trails rather than blown into the woods.  Barometer has been falling steadily for two days now, and is still falling.  Which is the traditional warning of a storm, another storm.  The mountain was in beautiful shape yesterday, and six inches will make it even better.
