They can’t help themselves

I guess the age of bi-partianship will still hasn’t arrived:

An inaugural ball honoring U.S. military veterans ended in a kerfluffle as several veterans walked out when a musical act’s attempt at humor backfired.

During the Heroes Red, White & Blue Inaugural Ball honoring the nation’s veterans, a vocalist with George Clinton and the P. Funk All-Stars held up a white towel with large block letters saying “[Expletive] GEORGE,” perturbing many audience members who walked out after the display, interpreting it as a jab at the outgoing commander-in-chief, George W. Bush.

These vets might be wounded in body but they are not wounded in honor. Unfortunately that can’t be said for the performers.

So what was the reaction of the organizers?

A spokeswoman for the ball’s organizers said the sign was inappropriate.

Well DUH!

As I’ve said before time doesn’t change what people are. The angry left were angry before they were left and someone without class won’t get any just because their candidate wins.

This is the 2nd part of a two part story so you will want to listen to Sisters of the Flame first.

This one was as exciting as Phobos was blah.

Whatever you do, don’t pick up this episode as the first one you listen to. If you do, you won’t bother with the rest and that would be a shame as it one of the least interesting episodes they have done.

It’s a pretty good short story, but the more of these short ones I hear the more I think that McGann is wasted on single CD episodes. I would like to see more two CD episodes with him.
