Fatal Bureaucracy

... a can of bondo, and a spray can of rustoleum primer.

Also included is a box of NASA Bandaids. But they were on sale this week for only $825,000 for a box of 12.

Come on CD we all know their repair kit consists of JB Weld, a cout hanger, two coffee cans and of course Duct Tape. Oh I almost forgot the WD-40.

Ugh! How could I forget the duct tape and WD-40!

Duct Tape for anything that won't stick together that should.

WD-40 for anything that shouldn't stick together but does.

Hey lookit me!

I'm practically a handyman.

You can't repair a space shuttle heat shield with a can of bondo! Only putty can withstand the stress of re-entering the earth's atmosphere. Space putty. And duct tape, but not the cheap duct tape.

Seriously, I'm glad they canceled the launch. I'm not thrilled with the idea of risking people's lives with this white elephant anymore. It's been exciting, but honestly, how many billions of dollars does it cost every time we make room for some kid's science project on the space shuttle? Do we really care that little Jimmy's hamster runs 3x slower in zero gravity and then throws up? It may be good public relations, but even that benefit goes to hell when the kid's third-grade classroom watches a fatal accident.

I want my share of the putty budget to go to Bush's Mars project. Provided Bush goes with it.

I have been to Area 51. I take nothing for granted.

Area 52 is the area that worries me.

Duct tape is like The Force. It has a a light side and a dark side and it binds the universe together.

Every time I hear the words Duct Tape I have to smile.

Name anything else that can bind such desperate souls together as Tom Ridge and Red Green.

The next nearest contender would have to be the Home Depot, which had such a run on duct tape, that it briefly set up special Homeland Security displays to tout (amongst other commodities) duct tape.

I heard that Tom Ridge was to join the board of Home Depot last February, but have never managed to confirm the story.

Aaahhh... Red Green and Duct Tape.
