Airship Ron Paul
Most politicians try to avoid being connected with hot air. But, if you've been paying attention to the 2008 presidential campaign, you'll know that Ron Paul isn't exactly most politicians. From our friends at the Associated Press:
RALEIGH (AP) -- A 200-foot long blimp bearing the name of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is flying over North Carolina.Campaign spokesman Bryce Henderson said the blimp took off from Elizabeth City just before 9 a.m. It's expected to fly over Raleigh and Greensboro in the afternoon, and over Charlotte just before nightfall.
The aerial billboard is emblazoned on one side with "Who is Ron Paul? Google Ron Paul." The other side reads "Ron Paul Revolution."
The blimp is scheduled to float up the East Coast past major cities.
Paul is a Texas congressman and former Libertarian who stands apart from the other GOP presidential contenders by opposing the Iraq war. He has low poll numbers but soaring support among anti-government voters on the Internet.

Naw! It is headed to South Carolina this weekend and will float over Columbia and Charlestown. No doubt those redneck South Carolina Huckabee Duck Hunters will take shots at it thinking it's the Black Sunday Islomal fascism terriorists trying to fire Steve Spurrier.
I assume that if the media was up to speed they can follow the Ron Paul Bimp by live internet instant cam action as it flew over Greensboro around 3 pm today. In fact, I saw Ed Cone breaking his neck looking upwards as he thought rain was coming from the Bimp today. Boy was he hack off when he found out it was not rain.
The Bimp will head north after South Carolina and fly over the Federal Reserve HQ in DC. No doubt causing another massive print off of treasure notes to supress the revolution and the coming depression.
On this coming Sunday, The Boston Teaparty fund raising event will blow the mainstream establishment media into Canada after it sets another amazing fund raising record on the internet.....
Go Ron Paul

I notice all of those little conservative republican Huckabee fools at Ed's site are complaining they can't read what is on the Bimp. I suspect most of them are blind or just hack off that they didn't finish the Head Start program in Arkansas....Continue live action of the Bimp at......
