go big or go home..

To those who know me, or at least have access to my Facebook account, you know that I am rooting for Ron Paul in this election. I support his viewpoints on several issues (not all though..) and he was my top answer in the "candidate matching" quiz I posted a couple of days ago.

Now, down here where I live, there is a curiously strong support of him. I say curiously strong, because I have yet to see any campaign material littering our highways for any other candidate except him. I think I saw a Barak bumpersticker one time. Maybe.

So anyway, I was shocked and not so shocked when I saw this thing coming back from lunch.

I was walking across the tarmac back to the hangar when I noticed two guys that work on my floor staring up with their hands blocking the sun. They were looking over toward the airport airstrip, so I thought that maybe another aircraft was landing that maybe had a more original and noticable paint job than the one that landed for this operator the other day. So I looked over where they were looking and I saw the strangest thing.



Now, some of you may have heard of this already, but I have not. I was like, "Good LORD." It was flying pretty low to the ground (compared to the other aircraft that fly around here) and it had a freaking Ron Paul message on the side. (I thought Goodyear had the monopoly on that? lol) One of the guys said he heard on the news that it cost him $400k to get that up and running. I hope someone has crunched the numbers on that and the payoff is greater than the cost. That's a load of moolah.

Anyway, I stood there for a minute and stared, then thought, "Blog."
