Now in development – a new supersonic passenger plane that travels 5 times the speed of sound and can make a NY to London flight in 90 minutes.
Wow! That’s faster than the TSA checkpoint groping!

Sandy’s tough on the Stars and Stripes
She can tell
This dream’s in sight
You’ve got to admit it
At this point in time it’s unclear
If the future looks bright
High-speed trains, all gaslight and glitter
Under a sea of red
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well, by private jet, if you’re A.O.C.
What a beautiful world this should be
What a laborious time to be free
Get your ticket to free meals and safe space
Like last time
The fix is in
You’ll be a witness to that same old dance in disguise
You know we’ve got to win
Here at home you’ll pay for a city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather, and a dreamlike world
There’ll be expanded taxes, one for everyone
What a beautiful world this should be
What a laborious time to be free
High-speed trains, all gaslight and glitter
All you can see is red
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
(More leisure time for artists everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We’ll be clean when their work is done
We’ll be eternally free yes and eternally young
What a beautiful world this should be
What a laborious time to be free
— based on Donlad Fagen’s “I.G.Y.”
Didn’t the original lyrics go something like “90 minutes New York to Paris, Under sea by rail”
Fantasy 40 years ago, now part of the Great Nude Eel
Toss in an extra hour if you try to land during the call to prayer.
Tonight’s history lesson:
There used to be a nightly open thread at IMAO where one of FrnakJ’s alter-egos would tell us of his love of strange men who butchered popular songs or made movies without sound.
Presidential hopeful Joe Biden voiced his full support yesterday for California’s ban on straws, saying “My son tells me a rolled-up dollar bill works just as well.”
