Ooops!!

Somebody's going to lose their magic decoder ring over this one. My own personal sadistic opinion is that this is funnier than hell but, then again, I probably shouldn't poke fun. This was just a gigantic recipe for disaster:

• The FAA approved the flight and then shrouded it in secrecy.
• New York authorities knew it was going to occur but weren't allowed to tell anybody
• Everybody involved seemed to forget that something happened in New York in the late summer of 2001 involving large framed aircraft at low altitudes.

Lots of people are going to receive a sternly written letter, I tell you what.

Other random thoughts as we approach our 100th day of bondage:

I'm totally prepared for the avian swine flu zombie apocalypse of 2009. Closing that border between the U.S. and Mexico doesn't seem like a bad fucking idea now, does it? It ain't the first time either. Google "San Diego County" and "tuberculosis" and see what you find.

China has been way, way too quiet lately. However, in their defense, it's awful hard to hear them over the crazy racket that North Korea keeps making. The North Koreans are just plain nuts.

I wonder how much Arlen Specter was paid to become a Socialist. It's the only explanation for throwing his friends and, by extension, the rest of the country under the bus by all but handing the Socialists a fillibuster proof majority.
