Yves Rossy has to either be the craziest guy in the world, or the coolest guy in the world.  Quite possibly I think both.  It takes some balls to jump out of a plane with a jet wing you built strapped to your back.  Apparently he used it to cross the English Channel Friday.  Here’s some video: Click here to view the embedded video.

And he doesn't mince words. “What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.

The Garand and CMP match this morning were rained out.  Drat.  I spent several hours last night loading up .223 to shoot my AR in the CMP match, and got up at 7:15 to make the match.  Oh well, some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you.  I’ll try again next month.
