If you’re like me and woke up at the crack of dawn for the latest news about today’s Paultard Blimp launch, well, it’s not happening. The official Elizabeth City, NC launch will now take place Wednesday morning. The Blimptards (self-explanatory subset) have planned their flyover (and teabagging?) of the Federal Reserve in DC for Thursday morning. Considering Paul’s whole deal about destroying the Fed, government security officials should feel pretty safe with this plan. [Ron Paul Blimp]

The Paultards are freaking, and it’s not just because of the big spambot disclosure. The Paultard Blimp is supposed to fly Monday, Dec. 10 from Elizabeth City, NC, en route to an eventual “Tea Party” in Boston to coincide with their latest moneybomb on Dec. 16. They need, however, $200,000 in real money — pledges, Liberty Dollars or Ameros won’t cut it now — by midnight on Friday in order to make the rental. Plus, there are all sorts legal entanglements and whatnot. For all of these reasons, Paultards are going mad mad MAD(DER than usual), and we’d like to document as much of it as possible.
