HMS Titanic: The Do-Over: Hell No, I Won't Go!

https://citizen.co.za/news/news-world/1773878/titanic-ii-the-new-replica-ship-will-set-sail-in-2018/

At least two different organizations are building real, life-size, exact replicas of the original ship. One was Blue Star Lines, not to be confused with White Star Line. The other is a Chinese billionaire (an oxymoron and paradox in a so-called, yet surely for-show Communist country.). Yeah, China's as communist as Donald Trump's an Arab. It's called slave labor for those that supply the unwashed masses at Wal-Mart...but I digress. So I ask you, if the replica ship was going to re-do the original voyage, would you go? Not me, brother. No way, no how. Well, not unless I was trying to die. We never learn, do we. Talk about a Jinx. They should rename the boat the SS Jonah. It reeks of the stink eye, bad juju, voodoo, bad omen, a pox on passengers, the hairy eyeball, hex, whammy, malediction, distress, plague, doom, and agony to spare. No thanks. I can see it hitting another iceberg and then, magically, people would say "well, what did they expect" or "see, I told you so," and people would laugh at the way you perished more ironically than Patches O'Houlihan getting crushed by the "Luck of the Irish" sign in the Movie Dodgeball. Nah, I'd rather bet against the ship. What's next? 9/11 World Trade Center, The Ride at Universal Studios? Or "Ebola Outbreak; Death Village" in IMAX 3D? I could get worse, but I won't. Nevertheless, a ride on another Titanic? Not for me. Nope. Where once it was the Unsinkable Molly Brown, there will be the Unsinkable Brainclogger...

My God is McCain paying attention?

For God's sake, is anyone listening??!!! What about the last two years of the Pelosi Congress that spent its time doing nothing but worrying about getting a dem in the white house and nothing else? What about their doing nothing that would jeopardize their staying in office? Are Americans so dumb they don't realize that doing nothing to hurt their political careers means doing nothing!!! Are we so stupid we don't understand their actions are exactly why they should all be fired? Do people really believe only what they see on TV between portions of American Idol? Please, tell me we don't go spill our blood for people that don't understand that a 9% approval rating is 4 times lower than the presidents? Why doesn't McCain talk about the failure of the pelosi congress? Remember the infamous "First Hundred Day" promise? They didn't do any of it, and Obama was one of them! Now we're going to make him and Biden the two top guys? Guess what they'll end up doing!!! Stop talking about Ayers, no one is listening. Start talking about the failed congress of the last two years.
