And now a new Cat?

This just in …

Along with the Acquisition of Arctic Cat Inc, Textron Inc. Has announced that a project is under way in conjunction with GE and Sierra Industries to marry the (click →) GE Honda HF120 small turbofan engine that is currently being offered (click →) as a retrofit to the Cessna CitationJet CJ1 by Sierra Industries with an upcoming new Arctic Cat snowmobile model.

It's gonna be the bomb!

Jump aboard, straddle that sled and prepare to ride, like Major T. J. "King" Kong in …
(click →) "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (1964)!

You also won't need a snow flap on the tail end of yer sled anymore, that jet exhaust should take care of that. Even without an afterburner. And tailgaters keep yer distance.

What, not true? Musta been summa dat "alternate news"!

Oh well, a feller can dream.
In the immortal words of Gilda Radner as Emily Litella, on Saturday Night Live, circa 1975-1978):

"Never mind".
Emily Litella was an elderly woman with a hearing problem who appeared 26 times on SNL's "Weekend Update" op-ed segment in the late 1970s.
Attired in a frumpy dress, sweater and Lisa Loopner glasses, Litella was introduced with professional dignity by the news anchors,
who could sometimes be seen cringing slightly in anticipation of the malapropism they knew would follow.

Gilda Radner (as Litella) peered through her reading glasses and, in the character's trademark high-pitched, warbly voice,
read a prepared statement in opposition to an editorial that the TV station had supposedly broadcast.
These sketches were, in part, a parody of the Fairness Doctrine, which at the time required broadcasters in the United States
to present opposing viewpoints on public issues. Litella became increasingly agitated as her statement progressed.
Midway in her commentary, it became apparent that she had misheard and/or misunderstood the subject of the editorial to which
she was responding. A typical example:

"What is all this fuss I hear about the Supreme Court decision on a 'deaf' penalty? It's terrible! Deaf people have enough problems as it is!"

The news anchor interrupted Litella to point out her error, along the lines, "That's death penalty, Ms. Litella, not deaf ... death."
Litella would wrinkle her nose, say, "Oh, that's very different...." then meekly turn to the camera and say, "Never mind."
