Paris, 20 November 1903: the ghostly form of an airship floats past an equally ghostly Eiffel Tower, before a very solid crowd of completely entranced spectators. It is Le Jaune, ‘The Yellow’, the first of the successful Lebaudy series of French semi-rigid airships.

Nazi Party Lobbyist of the Day: Just what the capitol needed — a lobbyist from the American Nazi Party. John Taylor Bowles, the National Socialist Movement’s presidential nominee in 2008, registered this week to lobby for “political rights and ballot access laws,” according to the registration form, which also lists as “general lobbying issue areas”: accounting, agriculture, clean air and water, health issues, the Constitution, immigration, manufacturing, retirement, and civil rights.

Ummm… civil rights? Really?
