The Moller 400 Skycar -- YOWZA!

There are many t's to cross and i's to dot before this beauty parks itself in your driveway, but isn't it nice to know that folks are working on it?

Here's the good news: It works! Right now! And it's as easy to drive as a Ferrari! Cruising speed is over 250 MPH, with a 750-mile range (and it gets 20 MPG)!

The initial cost will be around half a million, but this could get down to 50 large in production.

Random Thoughts

I get a lot of these -- sometimes they get translated into an article, but mostly they just get lost in the ether. Then I thought, "Why not toss these out on the old www? Maybe somebody in Canberra, Cancun or Calcutta will find something they'd like to expand or expound on. So here's a little Jaxonian SOC (stream of consciousness):

What's with this collagen lip thing? There are some pretty gorgeous women out there uglifying themselves.


What was the last movie you saw where nothing exploded?


I'm getting way too much Caribbean weather information. Hurricanes only, please.


Does anybody know what's really going on in the Republic of Georgia?


The Yankees are not dead. They are not even mostly dead. The litmus test for mostly dead is the 1951 National League pennant race; the mostly dead NY Giants came from 13 1/2 games back in late August to win the pennant.

Mad Dog leaves WFAN -- Good Riddance!

His voice was grating, his syntax abominable, and he was completely ignorant of the intangible heart and soul of sports. He bit the hand that fed him (the Mets, the Yankees) ridiculed hockey, and didn't have a clue about the intricacies and passions surrounding local college basketball. It is this writer's humble opinion that Mike Francesa had to 'dumb down' his legendary expertise to accommodate this a-hole; New York, the Fan and Francesa are better off. (And we don't have to hear about San Francisco any more. Now, if we could only evict him from the area and send him back to Orlando...)

Hillary's name to be presented to convention

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton will be symbolically put forward as a presidential candidate at the Democratic convention later this month even though she narrowly lost the nominating battle to Barack Obama, the two campaigns said on Thursday.

Bad idea. Just as bad as when Egon, in the film 'Ghostbusters,' suggests that crossing the streams of their unlicensed nuclear accelerators will destroy Gozar.

The skinny on this idea is that it will be symbolic, that it will bring the Clinton/Obama factions together, and they'll all march out of Colorado singing 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic.'
It's just not gonna happen, folks. There are nasty Clinton factions out there, and I'm betting they'll take this opportunity not only to protest and disrupt the convention, but also somehow to resurrect the Clinton flag for one last suicide run up the ramparts. I hope I'm wrong. I pray I'm wrong, but I've seen too much whining, wailing and weeping from disgruntled Clintonites to think otherwise.

Three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, say a good Act of Contrition -- maybe this nightmare will go away.
