Inside of each of the planes you’re about to see, you just know there are passengers thinking “I realized just now: This has to be the last flight I ever take. I’m committing right now to stop flying. It’s just not worth the…juh-juh-juh..”
Jeepers, I almost forgot: The comments are open for your Reader Tips.
Brew beer in your own gut. You have to acquire a rare disorder first, though.
Was that McCain flying?
Khadar has had marriage proposals from leftist caucasian females. Perhaps they should read this first. Actually anyone considering marrying a Muslim should read this first.

Here is a good account of McCain’s flying career.

That does it! Never again – it’s Greyhound from here on in. Who the hell wants to go overseas anyway?
This is really funny. China giving (outdated) advice to Australia and pretending the IPCC is still relevant. Like a heroin addict advising his kid not to try beer.

How would they know since it’s all top secret and they don’t share information ?

A juxtaposition?
The mayor of Boston and governor of Massachusetts shill for donations for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing:

Is it because that state and city are too broke to donate the medical care and rehab?
Yet neither the mayor or governor seems to have made and effort to cut off the welfare to speedbump and flashbang – or their whole out-of-country family:

Say what you want about McCain, but, uh… Sarah Palin. I got nothing else.

In a real shocker, the already won war in Iraq,thanks to President Obama, isn’t as peaceful as we thought.Not one, but 15 car bombs were set of in Shiite Muslim areas by unknown criminals,possibly Sunni Muslims, who believe Shiites are not true Muslims.
Several dozen dead, dozens more injured. If this is victory,what does “defeat” look like?
Harper’s Feds are moving towards legalization of marijuana. And no, it is not April 1st, I just checked. Unreal.

Actually one of these can be deleted as I was getting a held for moderation screen. Not sure why though.
Most of those ‘landings’ are to demonstrate cross-wind (i.e. wind not straight down the runway) capability for certification purposes. Dangerous looking, but quite well handled.
Ken, We’ve been getting hammered with Chinese spam bots. Most of them aren’t making it through the spam filter, but many had. I tightened up the spam rules a bit. A result is that more ham is getting caught.
I’ve instituted a blocking policy as well and that is helping. Things should calm down a bit in the next week or so as posters get +’s on their posts if they have previous comments outside of 7 days.
Cheers,

If you’re a passenger on a full aircraft your ‘MPG’ can be about the same as one person in a car. However, the person in the car is much more likely to be injured or killed. Air fatalities are infrequent, but what makes them so newsworthy is the number killed at one time.
Thanks Lance, and yes had noticed the Chinese spam. Go for it, and we will deal with it.

“By redefining the term “cancer,” the National Cancer Institute hopes to reduce patient anxiety and reduce the risks and expenses associated with supposedly unnecessary medical procedures. In technical terms, the government hopes to reduce “overdiagnosis” and “overtreatment” of cancer.”

“Then she got it, like a light coming on in her head. The pension trustees were draining the pension because they were so sure, so absolutely certain that the taxpayers would have to refill the pot they felt safe helping themselves to whatever they wanted. She wrote:
they were thinking the pensions would have to be paid, one way or another. After all, it’s in the Michigan State Constitution. So they could pay out bonuses, please various constituencies, and then force the city or the state to make them whole when it all came tumbling down.
What could go wrong? To everyone’s amazement something completely unprecedented happened: City Hall went broke.”
