Put together a proposal and find a Republican to sponsor it. Unfortunately most of your best bets have left to spend more time with their ~~defense attorneys~~ families, but there are more where they came from, if you promise to put a plant in their district that will generate a lot of jobs. [Remember that kudzu is a plant, and it damn sure has created a lot of work.]

We can round up all of the whackos currently patrolling the Mexican border and space them along the Canadian border with 10 gauge goose guns and watch them drive themselves into the ground firing those cannon. Oh, I wouldn’t put any shot in the shells, that would just pollute the ground when it came down.

It would keep them out of trouble and you could give them cheap medals and merit badges for the effort. More jobs and stimulus.

If we put out a contract Raytheon would probably want to do something with lasers or tasers that would never work, but would generate huge bonuses for the project managers.

It would be nice if there were so many airports and fields in the flyways. They were a big problem at Offutt in Nebraska, South of Omaha. We were constantly sucking them in, and occasionally losing a windshield when the big jets were taking off. When you are on the Missouri River surrounded by corn fields you have to assume they will be in the airspace.

Ah, Kryten, a bottle of Moosehead, a toque, and a hockey jersey is about the max anyone should expect, eh. Canada is in not much better shape than the US.

…I heard about the Canuckistanian terrorist goose confirmation on NPR on the way home and got to thinking about that whole thing. Googling led me to this fascinating webpage. The whole idea of picking 4 lbs. as the “large bird ingestion” value suggests that one’s air traveling life would be all good as long as every effort was made to avoid flocking birds that individually weigh more than that…

I don’t know nothin’ about air travel except to sit in my seat and hope the plane don’t crash, but I do know that slashing through an unsuspecting flock of Canada geese at over 200 mph in a turbine-powered aircraft with engine inlets that are nearly 6 feet in diameter is easily going to exceed certification standards by ingesting waaaay more than 4 p0unds of bird into each engine. I understand all that cost/benefit stuff, but I would like to think as I squeeze into that window seat a couple of composite layers from certain doom that I would come out on the ‘benefit’ side of the equal sign….

Wahooo!! Show me the moneeeeeeyyyyyy! 😀

As Daffy Duck said: “Consequences, Schmonsequences, as long as I’m rich.”
and: “Oh ho boy I’m rich! I’m wealthy! I’m independent! I’m socially secure! I’m rich! I’m rich!”

So… where’s the contract? 😉

LOL
