blue angels
Its one of my least favored weekends of the year. This weekend with all the pomp and glory that is the celebration of noise, Seattle is blessed with its Seafair weekend. A weekend where up to half a million folks line the shores and waters of Lake Washington to spend about 40 minutes out of 10 hours watching hydroplanes actually race. The predictable highlight of this affair is the annual visitation by the Blue Angels stunt flying team. While they make an okay show, they spend several days before the weekend spreading terror and ire around the city. They fly between high rise buildings downtown, they fly within about 100’ of the lake’s surface, for which the cross lake traffic is obligated to be completely blocked for an hour or more. They make enough noise to stir the dead in their graves and cause countless windows to be broken. Your tax dollars at work for the glory that is worship of the military.

I can't for the life of me figure out the public benefit that's derived from their "performance" routine. Sure, the skills involved are amazing, but why is the Navy in the entertainment business?

Why is the government luring anybody to do anything--that's creepy. The Navy should be patrolling our territorial waters and that's about it. Leave the entertainment to Hollywood, and my tax dollars alone.
