DOUGLAS DIARIES MARCH 6, 2005 PART II

MILLIONAIRE ADVENTURER STEVE FOSSETT TOUCHED DOWN ON U.S. SOIL THURSDAY AFTERNOON AFTER COMPLETING HIS QUEST TO BECOME THE FIRST PERSON TO CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE GLOBE ALONE WITHOUT STOPPING OR REFUELING.

DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT THIS? IS THIS WHAT MILLIONAIRES DO IN THEIR SPARE TIME? THEY BUY THEIR OWN SPECIAL PLANES AND THEN ATTEMPT TO DO STUPID, RIDICULOUS THINGS THAT NOBODY WILL CARE ABOUT. ALL SO THEY CAN BE PUT IN SOME BOOK THAT EVERYBODY HAS HEARD OF BUT NOBODY ACTUALLY BUYS.

IT’S TRUE. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS AT SOMEONE’S HOUSE? DO YOU SEE THIS IN DOCTOR’S OFFICE WAITING ROOMS? IS THIS ON COFFEE TABLES AROUND AMERICA AND I’M JUST NOT HANGING OUT WITH THE RIGHT CROWD?

THIS KIND OF STUNT ISN’T HELPFUL FOR MAN KIND OR FOR SOCIETY…THIS DOESN’T FURTHER ANY CAUSE.

HI. I’M STEVE FOSSETT AND I FLEW AROUND THE WORLD WITHOUT REFUELING.

WOW….REALLY? THAT’S SO COOL. SO YOU SPENT 67 HOURS IN A PLANE AND FLEW AROUND THE WORLD? AND YOU DIDN’T REFUEL HUH?

YES

HAVEN’T TONS OF OTHER PEOPLE FLOWN AROUND THE WORLD?

YEAH..BUT I DID IT ALONE…AND I DIDN’T STOP OR REFUEL

WOW

YUP

THAT’S SOMETHIN

YUP

SIR RICHARD BRANSON BY THE WAY WAS THERE TO CELEBRATE THE LANDING AND OPENED A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE.

MAYBE NEXT ONE OF THEM CAN FLY AROUND THE WORLD SITTING ON A TOILET SEAT WITHOUT STOPPING OR REFUELING. THAT WOULD BE EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE WOULDN’T IT?

HIGH TECH HUNTERS ARE COMING UNDER FIRE FOR THE SOFISTICATED ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT NOW ON THE MARKET.

REMOTE CONTROLLED CAMERAS, MOTORIZED DUCKS AND DEER DECOYS, ELECTRONIC DUCK CALLS, ARE JUST A FEW.

NOW I’M NOT AGAINST HUNTING, BUT I THINK IF YOU ARE GOING TO HUNT, THAT IT SHOULD AT LEAST BE FAIR. AFTER ALL, WE COULD JUST GO OUT TO THE WILD AND DROP A BOMB ON AN ENTIRE WILDLIFE REFUGE…KILLING EVERYTHING.

WE ALL KNOW WE’RE CAPABLE OF KILLING THESE ANIMALS, AND IF YOU DON’T, YOU NEED HELP. THIS DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORK FOR IT THOUGH…DON’T YOU THINK?

ARNOLD SCHWARZENIGGER IS TRYING TO BAN ALL SALES OF JUNK FOOD IN CALIFORNIA….NOW I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT THIS IS LIKE BILL CLINTON LECTURING ME ON FIDELITY.

THIS MAN PUT DRUGS IN HIS SYSTEM, ARTIFICIALLLY BULKED UP, AND NOW IF A KID WANTS A PACK OF HO-HO’S HE’S GOING TO SAY NO? MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS MUSCLE MAN.

NOW, IT'S OFF TO WASHINGTON WHERE TREASURY SECRETARY JOHN SNOW ON SUNDAY WOULD NOT RULE OUT THE IDEA OF IRISH SINGER BONO, AN ACTIVIST ON DEBT RELEIF AND AIDS, MAKING THE SHORT LIST OF POTENTIAL CANDIDATES TO LEAD THE WORLD BANK.

“HE’S SOMEBODY I ADMIRE. HE DOES A LOT OF GOOD IN THIS WORLD OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.”

MR. SNOW. WE ALL LIKE U-2….BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU PUT THE SINGER IN CHARGE OF THE WORLD BANK. THEY ARE SAYING, BY THE WAY, THAT HE IS ACTUALLY QUALIFIED FOR THIS POSITION…YEAH SURE.

I LIKE HOMER SIMPSON, BUT YOU DON’T SEE ME TRYING TO GET HIM TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT DO YOU? I LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON’S MUSIC, BUT YOU WOULDN’T SEE ME MAKING HIM THE SECRETARY OF EDUCATION.

GOOD GRIEF.
