Republican – You believe that the free market will
take care of most things, but that the
government should be there with moderate
taxation to provide for national defense and
enforcing morality. Your historical role model
is Ronald Reagan.
Which political sterotype are you?

My hero! I got to shake his hand once….
But “enforcing morality”? Oh, puh-leeze. I prefer to think of it as “deterring behavior harmful to society,” if anything.
Like all “Poll-bots”, the results should be taken with a significantly huge grain of salt. I’d have thought it would take more than 6 questions to figure out who my historical role model is…..

One of my many multiple personalities is that of an avid hobbyist. I’ve spent many many MANY hours in hobby shops, and even worked at one, once upon a time.
Imagine Kim du Toit working in a gun shop and you’ll get the idea. I have several radio control airplanes in various stages of flightworthiness stored in the garage, and a queue of six more kits I’ll get around to building some day before I die.
So I see this little tidbit and the very first thing that crossed my mind was “Hey, I could do better than that.” Really I could.
Naturally, the Iraqis are expecting the world to believe that this piece of crap is the “drone” Blix famously omitted from his verbal report to the UNSC.
“He’s making a big mistake,” [Iraqi] Brig. Latif said of Mr. Powell. “He knows very well that this aircraft is not used for what he said.”
Well, he got that partially right. This put-up job looks like it was slapped together in a matter of just a couple of days. No one with the slightest clue will fail to recognize this piece of excrement for what it is – a hastily thrown-together propaganda showpiece designed to play on the soft, condescending, ever-so-subtle “aye-rabs can’t do anything right” racism of the press, the French and the other assorted Idiotarians.
“Mais, monsieur, if they cannot build a drone, they obviously lack the technical sophistication to make bio-weapons, n’est-ce pas?”
