And back atcha!
Morning bump
Update: The site's total for all the candidates is just over $36,100, and Diana Irey's total is just a few dollars short of $7,000!

Bump for Rightroots.
I'll see your bump, and raise you one.
BTTT - for the Blue Angels, currently performing here. The FA-18 is an awfully nice, nimble frame.
Rightroots today has only brought in maybe a hundred bucks.
We'll do something about RightRoots.
The A-4, back in the day, would go supersonic back in the 70's, even for the Seafair show (Seattle civic event, centered around a 60-year old hydroplane race). You could hear the damned things almost from the coast (WA state). Of course, the Greeners bitched, and a few of them are probably down on the Lake handing out fliers.
As a result, they fly a pussified "high" program and aren't allowed to exceed the speed of sound. Still, it's somewhat fun to watch. And I'm about a three-wood from where they take off and land.
The Flying Dart! :-) And if there's a fiercer looking fighter around than the F-4 Phantom, I can't think of one. We used to live under final approach at Oceana NAS, so I grew accustomed to seeing (AND HEARING) all sorts of naval aircraft. The sound of freedom!
Interestingly, there was a private-sector aviation team that just performed prior to the Blue Angels. "The Patriots" sponsored by American Family Insurance and a couple other secondary sponsors. Not sure of the airframe, but it wasn't really armament-ready, from primary appearance.
While I wouldn't want an even simulated dogfight with an FA-18, busting Seattle liberal windows in an A-4 would be satisfying enough. Seattle, what with the history of Boeing and such, doesn't have to be a lost cause.
I'll sell my house and go halvzies with you on an A-4.
It's a single-seater. Too many problems trying to decide who gets to fly. :-)
You can have it on Sundays, as long as you stick the Sidewinders on it. You can even fire them.
Nah, I'll skip the Sidewinders and just fly an "Irey for Congress" banner behind it.
Good morning. Don't have details yet, but did hear from a little birdie that donations to Diana Irey did indeed spike Friday and into the weekend - no doubt thanks to her impressive showing on Hannity & Colmes and the mini campaign rally on Hannity's radio show earlier that day. :-)
On Rightroots Commissioner Irey just broke $7,000, still leading the pack of 18 by a significant margin. Boot Murtha is still almost $1,700 shy of its goal, three days past its deadline.
