Blue Devil is half way there. Will Congress cut LEMV? I sure hope not.


Something big happened in the world of airships today.
The Air force has just completed one of the hardest parts in bringing there big old fashioned blimp into the war in Afghanistan. As you can see, it's quit massive.

Unfortunately, I wish I could say this was good news, but thanks to budgetary concerns created by the corporate oligarchy, the government is looking to cut one of these two big blimp programs. The good news is that the Senate is intelligent enough to mention that the practical applications of LEMV out-wight the practical applications of of Blue Devil. However they are trying to migrate responsibility by appointing someone else to figure out which one of these programs to cut. I sure hope this doesn't lead to the Senate cutting LEMV to fund Blue Devil. That would again be an example of politics ruining good ideas. If any of these programs should be cut, Blue Devil is the one that should get the axe first.

However, Blue Devil is still more useful then all these pointless, stupid, irresponsible wars this country has gotten itself into. Why not cut the 2.3 billion it cost to fund these wars that only create a bigger problem in the end anyway? Or even better why not tax the federal reserve out of existence and get ride of these tyrannical bankers that think they rule the world? Call me a pessimist if you want, but I see a wave of stupidity ahead. Not only will government keep us in these pointless wars forever, but they will probably cut LEMV in favor of Blue Devil because they are ahead.

The idiocy of doing such a thing would be catastrophic to a future globule economy. If LEMV is cut it could mean that Discovery Air will pull it's deal of 3.8 billion for Hybrid Airships. The Hybrid Airship might not ever get off the ground and the idea will go nowhere. Blue Devil will probably crash, because blimps are generally unsafe, and the world will descend into tyranny and the sky will fall.

OK, it might not be that bad, but it could be! Maybe I'm wrong, I sure would like to be.
