All aboard, the sinking ship is leaving...

A metaphor for the next four years? Apologies in advance, as this post might be better kept afloat at Fark, but one can't help think this it is a more represenative sign. After a mishap like this can you blame the dems?
All Hail Our Fearless Leader. If you don't like it, move to a democracy you pansy.

Who cares about the crash -- I want to know how they managed to misspell the plane.

Eelect me once, shame on you; e-e-elect me twice, um, won't get eelected again.

I had hoped that some monkeys had gotten ahold of the plane but nope, just some GOPheads.
Water landing or hit a building, seems like a no brainer to me.

It's a tribute to touch screen voting. eElect, you know, like eBay and eCommerce.

How can you misspell "elect" when you're painting a plane? And once noticed, why wouldn't you paint over the extra E? It's all very strange. Unless they were going for something like Deee-Lite . . . groove is in the heart.

I'm going to have to contact some old coworkers at Tuna's on the edge of Maule Lake. I worked there until March of this year, and I bet that must have created quite a stir at the restaurant. We used to stop everything whenever the fish were feeding. I can't imagine how things must have been when a plane crash-landed just off the dock.

Fine piloting indeed. The only way this aircraft could have missed the buildings was for it to have reversed in slowly.

I sincerely hope that the person who painted the plane is not the same person who piloted it. I would assume that literacy is a requirement when applying (and working towards) a pilot's license.
All the same, I'm glad no one was hurt because that would impact the humour factor. This is pretty damn funny.
