Being buzzed by the B2 Stealth Bomber
For the last 90 minutes or so, the B2 has been going in circles over the Pasadena ( Ca. ) area. It's altitude has been about the same as a small plane.
While we're used to seeing it every New Years day during the Rose Parade, I don't ever recall seeing it hanging around. :tinfoilhat:

It doesn't help that I just went to the local medical marijuana clinic to find that the DEA had "raided " them, taking all the goods, computers, cash and even destroying all the ice cream & baked good products. (put the ice cream in the sink & turned on the hot water)

How many days before Jan 20th ????? :evilfrown:

1. Wait, didn't the SC just rule Federal raids are unconstitutional in CA?
WTF is going on here?

4. It seems more like robbery to me
since they didn't cite the owner or bring any charges. They also destroyed the doors and counters even though they were given access to the store. :shrug:

2. They're just familiarizing themselves with the street layout, so...
...they'll know where they're going when they bomb us for real.

Isn't it lovely that military jets get a flyover during the New Year's parade? Kind of the government's way of saying, "it may be a fresh new year, but we can still kill you if you annoy us."

7. I thought they may be mapping at first, but
then a guy standing by me said, " they've been doing it for years,( New Years flyover ) and the parade route hasn't changed for at least 100 years. "

I also saw two wrecks w/ people trying to see it.....

3. I Didn't Realize That ....
I didn't realize that it was possible to get buzzed by the B-2 bomber.

I thought beer, *ine, vodka, or *eed was essential for getting buzzed.

Am I *rong?

Note: In protest of the continuing occupation of OUR *hite House by the illegal and totally corrupt Bush/Cheney regime of thugs and cronies, I REFUSE ot use the letter bet*een "V" and "X", and I urge you to do the same.

10. You gotta admit, though, B-2's look really cool.
I'd love a B2 to buzz me!

16. I saw it too - First time I've ever seen it
Kinda cool looking,but also very creepy.

Oh, hey, where was the local medical mj clinic? I've been thinking I might try to get a prescription. First gotta finda doctor that will prescribe it. Do you know if they prescribe it for headaches?
