I’ll think of something more poetic later but the last ‘sortie’ just inspired me. Fuck this martial motherfucking bullshit. I don’t really like having 20 tons of jet powered metal buzzing my house. I feel bad for the babies in my neighborhood and the scared cats and dogs. The politics of it all I’ll get to later. But right now this is a real estate issue. You want this kind of crap shooting over your rooftops? Have it your way. I don’t. I’m going to start hunting for ways to change things next year. Somebody must already be working on it. When I find an answer, I’ll post here. My guess is this will be next to impossible to fix and even if a neighborhood makes a stand, some other neighborhood will get screwed. If you have any ideas, speak up.
End rant.

Update. Wikipedia says the Angels were banned in 94 and 95 so it can be done. I wonder how the ban got undone. Old-timers?
Hallelujah. Twice.
Fuck the Blue Angels. I’ve yet to speak with someone who disagrees with that statement.

We leave every ‘blue angels’ weekend… The olympic national park was so quiet… :)
anonymous @ 8:39 on 8/7 has it right. It’s not like we live in Baghdad where these events are unscheduled.
Now, as for the politics of it, that’s another matter. It’s entertainment, though it’s done with military equipment. Do we kick the Navy out of Elliot Bay next? What if they come back and reclaim the Sand Point NAS and kick us out of there?
Here’s a letter to the mayor. Let’s see what happens next.
Anonymous 1/15 — just curious… what got you thinking about the Angels today? Planning your summer early?
blue angels… they seem to be the most incompetent flying team on the planet… already the second plane they’ve lost… and another 50 mio of tax dollar money goes up in smokes…
Why don’t you fucking people move to France?
The Blue Angels are the Navy’s number one recruiting tool. They represent the people serving your country and defending your freedom. If you’re not happy with the current political situation then verbally degrade the politicians. Do not vilify a bunch of volunteers who stood up and took an oath to protect your rights. You people are truly disconnected with a majority of American society.
You will never know what true hard work, irreproachable character, or teamwork really are until you witness the Blue Angels in action. Even if you did see them preform you would probably have your bias blinders on and just complain. You deserve your miserable lives.

People like you make me sick. No pride in your country or those that represent it. Take you unpatriotic ass to France to live with the rest of the cry babies.
Don’t like the Angels, take your double late and tofu and go back to the east coast where you belong, hydros angels and boeing made this town way before you you moved to capitol hill to drive up the prices!
Awww, poor little fairies…did the big bad Blue Angels hurt your fragile little eardrums? Tell you what, keep sucking on your foreskin-flavored pacifiers and maybe it will all go away.
Fags.
