Investigating Airlines leaving passengers stranded

WASHINGTON - The decision by JetBlue and American Airlines to leave passengers stranded aboard planes for several hours this winter during storms has led the Transportation Department's top official to call for an investigation.

"I have serious concerns about airlines' contingency planning that allows passengers to sit on the tarmac for hours on end," Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said Tuesday in a statement. "It is imperative that airlines do everything possible to ensure that situations like these do not occur again."

COME ON...It's weather..Isn't there any thing MORE important for Washington to focus on..Weather happens. This is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard of. Yet individuals want what rebates? Talk to mother nature. There is nothing they can do. Of course they're stranded..hmmmm Winter storms, Ice. Yes it is imperative that airlines accommodate individuals while waiting for inclement elements to subside enough to SAFELY transport them.
What lunacy is this. Really! How ignorant. Washington wants to step in and what, control mother nature, maybe is there next step. This country has far too many other urgent issues in which needs their immediate attention and their off on a sidetracking sense of urgency over this. Oh My God. No, no, its no wonder that illegal aliens wish to invade our country, they know they can get away with being here illegally, committing heinous crimes and getting away with them.

Why? Washington is off INVESTIGATING why individuals were left to WAIT out inclement weather..Ahh yea. NO. 10- 20 years ago, this wasn't the issue.. Stranded, you made due. Fact of life. Giving people round free trips for their inconvenience. Scheeezz sorry they couldn't put all of you up at the Marriot for the duration or get a specialty coffee store to show up and set you up with Latte's and Cappuccino's for your convenience. You book a flight in the WINTER, you must LOGICALLY except that there may very well be a delay of possibly several days. Plan for it.

Next time your late for work, because you woke up late, for being an incompetent and forgetting to set your alarm or sleeping through it, please do try to blame someone else for your supreme lack of responsibility.

Well now, apparently I get to tote my happy self home..yeah, 3:30 p.m. in GR traffic..lord, I'll need a drink by the time I get half way home.

MSN article How we're failing our hero's..And this is surprising them just NOW? The lack we have as a country to take care of our soldiers/hero's/military is beyond comprehension..We could blame the government, but there again, who put these moronic fools there...ahhh yes WE did..Yes, you must confess when your the one that peed in the sandbox first..(Raising hand HIGH)..

WE, our country as a nation of individuals, government, especially government need to recognize our protectors. The men & women that tirelessly, diligently and endlessly continue on with the protection of this country.. Ahhh cholesterol is good..I get TO GO HOME, I GET TO GO HOME..7:45 hours..I can have a cigarette..Sigh..

Off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of oz..

The conversation..

Avoiding him, The Dr. I skate around the side of his nurse and slide into the waiting room..Yeah, They have to figure out where I've gone First..I've wrung..MRI-Check, Cardio Workup-Check and Freaking CHECK..Blood Samples -Grrr Check..Check...Check..Check...I'm a pin cushion..Help..
One more cardio some sort of test(shrugging) and a psychological overview evaluation(NO, I'm still NOT Completely Crazy..Yet) I do Jest..have slinkies, will travel, be tested, be annoyed and in general wonder why in the world The doc and I tolerate each other any further..Sigh..

Dr: Overall, good. You know I'm not pleased with your weight gain..

Me: Yeah, and I am..
(we look tentatively at one another as if waiting for battle)

Dr: Your still smoking too. I don't like that..

Me: I don't like that you wife gets more time with you than I do.. Really now..(Yeah, I'm smirking hard core On the inside..Baiting him). Drop it, I'm not quitting right now.

Dr: I'm serious. Why can't you be serious about this..This, this, sudden amount of weight gain worries me..I think we (what he's gonna answer the question too? NO)(Mouse in his pocket I'm assuming) need to round up this psych evaluation first and foremost.

Me: Yeah, your right..My brain blows up, you shove a bunch of slinkies in it, and My body is suppose to play nice with me all of sudden 6 years later? Share whatever your smoking hun..

Dr: (Chuckles) So do I tell my wife, I'll be late for dinner tonight?

Me: Of course..Your doing the rest of these evaluations with me..Mr. M.D. Freaking Sport..

Dr:(chuckles again) No one would ever know, if they didn't have your history in front of them..Your very balanced emotionally, psychologically, I think..Hows the personal life? good right..

Me: Sure, I'm laid off from a company that's more than likely going to be shut down by Chase The Great emporium, and working for $5.00-$8. less per hour at whatever I can to make some sort of income..I've been celibate for 2 years.I'm super ornery. I expect the next serious relationship I'll have in life will be with YOU or Bob(built in Boyfriend)..Now unless you know of someone that's going to be tolerant of my neurological malfunction and the fact that I'm a middle aged, overweight and just plain intolerant of bs, I think you'll suffice..(smiling very broadly at him)

Dr: (Outright looks at me and burst out laughing)..Do you think you could be a little more cynical?

Me: Of course I can, keep prodding and poking me with another needle and your wife she will never have to worry about the future of children with you..

Dr: Yeah, your fine psychologically..A tad bent in the wrong direction, but over all good. Pretty normal I'd say.(And he's what, trusting his own Advisement..hmmmm K) Go have a seat in my office slinkie girl..I'll have you out of here soon..Before you go. I want 25 lbs off by July. The other 20 we'll discuss once you hit that point..We're not going to discuss this, its my way now..Double the exercises..2-3 hours a day. If your not getting results in the next 30 days, call me..We can do a few more test to see if we can't fix your happy misfunctioning body. Don't call my wife, she doesn't need to know about our love affair honey. (smiling this huge wicked smile).To my office, behave..you can use my laptop. NO phone calls..(yeah he knows me) Long distant calls to whoever..If your going to make me wait an hour, I'm going to entertain myself.

Give me permission to use your laptop and THIS is what I do. Blog my frustration..I do love this man..He just rocks. 5'6" 150(80 lbs too thin) wiry, highly intelligent, funny, sarcastic and plays nice with me..yeah It's long term love..((SMILE))..A smile to die for..Blatant Eye flirting..God I love men!

Sigh..let the waiting continue..But I did get a cup of coffee from the nurse..Apparently she wants to live today..Caffeine withdrawal is not a good thing.

Speak Up....

I don't know how everybody else feels about it,

but to me I think Hispanic people in this country,

legally or illegally,made a huge public relations

mistake with their recent demonstrations.

I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting

to come to the United States of America,

as it is a truly wonderful place.

But when the first thing you do when you

set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out

wrong and I don't care how many lala land left

heads come out of the woodwork and start trying
to give me sensitivity lessons.

I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't

have any-thing against Mexicans! I just have something

against criminals and anybody who comes into this

country illegally is a criminal and if you don't believe

it try coming into America from a foreign country

without a passport and see how far you get. What disturbs

me about the demonstrations is that it's tanta-mount to saying,

"I am going to come into your country even if it means

breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it."

It's an "in your face" action and speaking just for me, I don't

like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs

of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it

wouldn't be happening.

Where are you, you bunch of lily livered, pantywaist,

forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of

The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water

out of the Potomac again?And even if you pass a bill

on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and

watered down that it won't mean anything anyway

Besides, what good is another law going to do when you
won't enforce the ones on the books now?

And what ever happened to the polls, guys? I thought

you folks were the quintessential finger wetters. Well

you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time

because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans

want some thing done about this mess, and mess it is

and getting bigger everyday.

This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed

for being a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what

happened in France with the Muslims can't happen here

when the businesses who hire these people finally run

out of jobs and a few million disillusioned

Hispanics take to the streets?

If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators,

knuckle under on this and refuse to do something

meaningful it means that you care nothing for the

kind of country your children and grand-children will

inherit. But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you

get re-elected. Shame on you. One of the big problems

in America today is that if you have the nerve to say

anything derogatory about any group of people

(except Christians) you are going to be screamed at

by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything

else they can think of to call you

Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm

still rockin' and rollin' and when it comes to speaking

the truth I fear not. And the truth is that the gutless,

gonadless, milksop politicians are just about to sell

out the United States of America because they don't

have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality.

And reality is that we would never allow any other group

of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and

turn around and say, "Oh it's ok, ya'll can stay here if you'll

just allow us to slap your wrist."

And I know that some of you who read this column are

saying "Well what's wrong with that?" I'll tell you what's

wrong with it.These people could be from Mars as far

as we know. We don't know who they are, where they

are or what they're up to and the way the Congress is

going we're not going to.

Does this make sense? Labor force you say? We already

subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize

their labor as well? If these people were from Haiti would

we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from

Somalia or Afghanistan ? I think not.

All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics

who have crossed the border just to try to better their life.
They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up

members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across

the same way the decent folks did. They don't tell you about

the living conditions of the Mexican illegal some fat cat hired

to pick his crop.

I want to make two predictions.

No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts

in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington

drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of

political hay they can make to the acre.

No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind

of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American

city after which there will be a backlash such as this country

has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington

will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the

other side of the issue.

I don't know about you but I would love to see just one major

politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad and

I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation

and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out."
I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America , but if

you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect

any others? And by the way, this is America and our flag has

stars and stripes Please get that other one out of my face.

God Bless America

How Misanthropic Are You?

You Are 52% Misanthropic

You're somewhat misanthropic, but you're not willing to write off the human race (yet!). There's a few people you like, and even them you like at a distance.

How Misanthropic Are You?

Another Chain goes the way ..

The Burger King Commercials, let discuss this shall we? Yeah... First society want perfectly good men to become Metro freaking sexuals... This is a Whole different rant..I'll leave this alone for a second.

Tell me Intelligent MEN are not buying into this B.S. Burger King is trying to sell them..THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA.. OUR men..They're not stupid..Stop putting commercials out there for the redundant "Po-Dunk"man..You know the one's. They look consistently at you as if you have some for of other life intelligence that they are completely unable to comprehend. Yeah DUH!.. As if a Group of men are going to band together for the BIG sandwich and the right to eat like a man..WTF? As if they don't now..Feed one lately..

I'm highly insulted by the fact the the fast food industry is going after the idealism of the "stupid male syndrome". Wait, does this exist? Apparently in their minds it does. I understand they're attempting to target a market of "real" men, with no perception to the Horrible Health Benefits of Eating such monstrous, artery clogging, fat ladened, proportions. While the commercials may be slightly entertaining for a very brief nano second, the Very next Nano Second is your brain Screaming at you..STOP!

It should be anyways..I'd be sorely pissed off by the mere fact that an intelligent, articulate man would buy into this HYPE.. Why is Burger King NOT being Boycotted? Why are individuals buying into the heinous onslaught of Stupid men marketing? (yes I know petitioning women to cook again and be WOMEN)

First Feminist want their fare shares..FINE!! Ahhhhh the beginning of the dumbing down of America..Whine, Pitch, Bitch, Moan..Shut the F*** UP.(Mind you I'm a woman)..I'm so tired of the persistence of the American Bitch, labeling, tagging and inundating our perfectly good men with some freaking idealism of Their mind set. (don't go out with the guys to be a guy, stay home honey, paint my toe nails, do the laundry, earn the money ooohhh and by the way I'm leaving you for your best friend who makes more money and doesn't kiss my ass, cause he's a real man...sigh..) We need not wonder what is wrong with relationships in this country..Women want soft, understand, household sharing, equal income, men, yet they don't want to go to war. "Women don't belong in war".."Women don't belong in the kitchen"..So many other "gripes" from the rankings of Super woman, who have completely emasculated their men. Ahhh, and their men Let them..Sigh..I shake my head in the sheer wonderment of how the heck we can even fathom how to rectify the Independent Liberalism in this country, which has mostly definitely taken its toll.

OOOHHHH I Know, I KNOW..Let's Televise our crappy relationships of unrealistic proportions on NATIONAL TV....Sigh me up Oprah..No, NO.. If you can't fix it at home, why Broadcast your own Stupidity? Because what, your a woman on a COO trip of POWER, Can't get a man b.s., or a man whose let his pants drop to his ankles far to many times and can no longer find a way nor the will to Keep them UP?!! Someone Give the American Man A hand UP..Let him be a guy..shut off the TV and Stop buying into the stupidity of Commercials..

PSSSSSsssssssssssssssstttttttt..Yes, that's why it's why called MARKETING..Targeting a gender specific goal of total bribery.. And Whoop your buying into it. STOP IT..

You so know its a women behind the marketing campaigns of Burger King right? Right? NO, you don't have to agree. I don't really care whether you do or do not..
