In case anyone was wondering, it looks like the initial fundraising for the Ron Paul blimp was successful, and it will fly.
Organizers have released a tentative flight plan for the beast, beginning with a departure from Elizabeth City, NC on Monday, 10 December, followed in quick succession by stopovers in Washington DC and New York City; a flyover of Worcester, MA (apparently Connecticut is too socialist to merit a formal flyover); tea-dumping in Boston Harbor on the 16th; and general hovering over New Hampshire afterwards, except for buzzing Times Square on New Years Eve.
Even though I’ve been increasingly annoyed by the overexuberance of some of Ron Paul’s supporters…it seems like an oddly entertaining gimmick that I kinda want to see…..
