    In reply to Obama Goes "Boom-Boom Pow" On South Korean-U.S. Auto Trade Agreements
    Boom! The narcissistic arrogance of Barack Obama strikes again.

    Maybe that's a little unfair, because I can picture Dubya making the same ridiculous pose. But, really, is there a country the rockstar-in-chief hasn't traveled to this year?

    And, Ray, it's bad enough I can't go a whole day without seeing the guy's mug plastered all over TV, the interweb and half the magazines on the newsstand. Do I really have to deal with him here, too?

    @If FromaBuick6 has to watch one more Chevy commercial, he's going to punch Howie Long in the face: Dubya didn't give half a shit about how many shitty cars the Koreans dumped here.

    @HurtsSoGood: Of course not. I can fault Dubya for a lot of things, but at least he didn't take over the world's largest provider of Aveos and Forenzas.

    @AmishJohn: No way, the A-4 Skyhawks from those days weren't trainers, but light attack jets. John McCain flew them in Vietnam. The Blues had stripped-down hot-rod versions, but Skyhawks were generally considered to be flying sports cars. #jets

    Ah yes the Deadly Bouffants. I once saw a show of theirs. They by some miracle got US visas and performed in my favorite barber shop. The smell of disinfectant was thick in the air. To a small but dedicated crowd huddled amongst the outdated magazines.

    They performed the flat top with precision, they also did the fade, the buzz, they refused to do a faux hawk saying something about decadent western hairstyles.

    As a triumphant grand finale they attempted a pompadour in honor of thier majestic leader. Tragedy struck the fearless pilots when their inferior North Korean built machines ran out of pomade. #jets

    @Triborough: They kind of are...it's like most of the airframe is shrunken F-16, but with F-18A inlets and it uses a single F404, which is the F-18A powerplant. Even the gun is a 3-barrel version of the Vulcan.

    When I first moved to San Diego, I thought the Blue Angels practicing in formation over my office nearly daily was simply fucking awesome.

    Now I can't hear anymore :(

    Seriously though, faaahuck NK and long live the Blue Angels! #jets

    @Spinnyd: El Centro is only about a hundred or so miles from San Diego. NAS Miramar also used to host an airshow every year (have no idea if they still do, now that it's pretty much just a Marine base from what I understand), so yeah, it's conceiveable that at some times of year he could've seen them right overhead.

    I am partial to these guys for obvious reasons, the French version called the Patrouille Acrobatique de France or simply PAF.

    On a completely separate note, my brother and I attended a small air show in the Midwest. As we were driving on the long road up to park, we nearly crapped our pants. A stealth bomber that was there decided to do a bombing run and low fly over just on us. He was high up, dropped down flew a few hundred feet over us then climbed again. My brother who is a commercial airlines pilot couldn't believe it, it was awesome and terrifying at the same time.

    I had a friend - drove an IH combine thinly disguised as a gigantic Travelall - who used to work with the Blue Angels, part of the maintenance and repair crew. He loved to tell about how many paint and wingtip repairs they would do per year from what he called "tip taps." BA pilots are crazy. #jets
