A Florida (OF COURSE) mailman's attempt to call attention to campaign finance reform instead prompted a terrorism scare when the amateur aviator landed his gyrocopter on Capitol Hill Wednesday. 61-year-old Doug Hughes, of Ruskin, Florida, had been planning the flight for over a year, and apparently tried to publicize the stunt by building a
This guy's my hero. He's got some huevos grandes and I hope he succeeds in bringing attention to the disaster that is Citizens United. Good on this old boy.
Actually while this may have been a bit....eccentric it actually did go well. If this was usual "Florida Man" it would involve gators falling out of the gyrocopter as the meth brained pilot crashed into a homeless shelter, injuring 15. Then, when anyone asks him why he flew he says, "because I was trying to dive bomb the CIA to get them to stop listenin' to ma thoughts, Kenyannn! You win this time but I'll be back!!!" Nope, definitely not on the NORMAL level.
Another triumph for the Skeezy Service. "All our agents are busy. If you are a terrorrist, press 1. If you are printing counterfeit money press 2. If this involves the President press 3. If you are a prostitute who has not been paid press 4. For all other matters, please leave a message at the tone."
Or when CNN goes batshit about the graaaaave threats posed by imaginary hordes of terrorists in lawnmower-powered whirligigs. ALERT!! (Siren graphic/sound--wwwwaaaAAAAAAA!). Twaddle.
And Senator Butch Graham (R - Fainting Couch) pretty much lost his mind over it, telling Hugh Hewitt that the gyrocopter should have been shot down. Because freedom or jeebuz or something...
He went aero-postal!
Look, if you're going to bring logic and reason to this discussion I'm gonna take my ball and go home. Sheesh!

I like the idea of raising awareness about Citizens United but really, that man needs to switch to decaf.
