Helicopter dreams

Everything is Incredible is the story of a man suffering from the debilitating effects of polio who has dedicated his life to building a working helicopter out of re-bar, bicycle parts and wood. For the last 50 years, Agustin has spent all his energy on his quest to fly and prove to the world that he isn't crazy.

As stated on the "campaign" site Round 2:

The objective is two fold

1. Raise enough funds to help Agustin with living expenses by purchasing the helicopter and his home. He will retain both and at the end of his life the helicopter will be preserved to be a lasting legacy of who Agustin is and how he spent his life.

2. We would also like to raise enough to try and get Agustin up in a helicopter.

All of this will be filmed to make a feature length film about this amazing man.

On the other hand, foot, propeller, blade, etc. (or in addition to the above) you can donate to Red Cross disaster relief here.

Rumsfeld on the Decline of America

The video seems to be unavailable. No surprise as things go. Here is the pertinent excerpt:

"Let me be clear: I do not believe America is destined to stay on the current trajectory toward becoming something less than a first-rate country . . . . Only America’s leaders can stand in the way of the American people’s rendezvous with the future. "I don’t think it will surprise anyone to learn that I think changing the trajectory of the last four years requires changing the leadership at the top."
