Overnight Open Thread (1 May 2015)

The latest attack on Scott Walker involves his credit card debt. Oh no, that's horrible. Why he's just like a majority of Americans with some kind of credit card debt. Well, I suppose he could be like Hillary and take millions of dollars of donations from foreign donors and use an official office to hook up those foreign donors and pay off his debt that way.

Spitfire

Dang I need to win the lotto. WWII Spitfire for sale.

Beauty Beer

Drinking collagen-infused beer probably won't make you look any younger. Beer goggles will.

Sailor Speak

I'm surprised mail buoy didn't make this list. Or manning the brooms to sweep away monkeys coming over through the strait of Gibraltar. Or trying to find the swimming pool on an aircraft carrier for those who swim for the PFA. 13 lessons every new sailor learns the hard way.

Hostage Czar

Really? Bill would create a US 'hostage czar'. Not a good policy to encourage hostage taking.
