Jet Blue’s 9 hour tarmac brings ‘Bill of Rights’ Closer
If you read down this story, you’ll note that Joe Scarborough of MSNBC’s Scarborough country was held hostage on the tarmac for nine hours.  I didn’t happen to catch his show tonight but it’ll be interesting to see if he has any more to say about that experience as things go along.  The article doesn’t specifically say, but from context a couple of paragraphs later, it sounds like it may have been American Airlines. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17145277/ There was also Jet Blue flight that a reporter from CNBC’s On the Money was stuck onRead More
The Dixie Chicks Grammy Show
I am not sure whether to call it the Grammy’s or the Dixie Chicks Show because it was taken over by the country music superstars on Sunday night. This was a welcome surprise that the Dixie Chicks took home so many Grammy’s. Especially after they were shut out by the same people and shut out by their own music genre of Country. Winning an award on this show normally increases your album sales as well so expect some big ka-ching coming the way of these musical girls. I am alsoRead More
Good Bush, Evil Cheney

Yes, Bush learned long ago how to kiss the right butts. That the current onesRead More
AA vouchers have been sent out to imprisoned passengers
I wanted to give everyone an update on the American Airlines imprisonment of passengers story on December 29, 2006. There are two flights from San Francisco area to the Texas area that had been reimbursed part of their flights on their credit card statements, vouchers sent out, and apologies written to the passengers. This makes me feel much better about American Airlines. I still think passengers need a bill of rights to protect us from being put on a tarmac for more than an hour (held like a prisoner). ThisRead More
Terror-Free Oil
You can now purchase “terror-free oil†at one gas station at least in the US. A Coral Springs, Florida based company opened a station this week in Omaha, Nebraska that pledged to sell oil that is terror-free. This gas station group plans to expand to other US cities while supplying its consumer’s oil bought from Sinclair Oil Corporation and oil traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The drawbacks to this are that some oil is mixed by suppliers and it could result in oil from the Middle East beingRead More
