I think it's incredibly cool to ride down the highway in our car and be online... doing so on an airplane would be even better. Of course ours isn't wifi, it's a phone card modem thingy. But still, highly cool to post a blog saying "My husband is driving 75 mph and I'm blogging..."

I wonder if blogging in the car would give me the same headache I get while reading in the car.

Inevitably, there will be idiots who update their blogs while driving.

Farmer Bob - the parents aren't suing, it is a lawyer on the behalf of the child.

I thought some of the airlines were providing that service now? Maybe not. I'm wondering whats going to happen to Northwest now that they've been taken over by Delta. I normally fly NW because Detroit is one of their main hubs and I can get direct flights about anywhere, I'm concerned their service is going to tank.

Doubt NW service is going to tank Cherie...but I suspect Delta will boost prices with one less competitor.

I'm going to share a personal airplane story: A few years back, my parents, and my then boyfriend and I were flying out to visit my sister in Arizona. We check in and everything and we're on the plane all settled in. The girl who was sitting in front of me realizes that she forgot her wallet at the check in counter so gets off to go get it. She comes back and a few minutes later, security and airport police get on the plane and escort her off. As it turns out, after she got her wallet, she bypassed the security checkpoint and went straight to the gate and back on the plane. Her rationale: "I just forgot my wallet! I already went through security checkpoint!" HELLO!!!! As a result of this, every single passenger had to get off the plane with their luggage and go BACK through security again, thus making the flight uber late since it was a full plane.

OK, someone should have the tiny peckered guys in Africa to masterbate. They will see that even small packages can still work, and they can prevent cancer...Win/Win. Then the mother rapist and the seizure robber should be sent over there and introduced to the witchdoctors who can eliminate their packages. Maybe the "top model" fan can help....Geez, where do these strange folks come from??

There are idiots on both sides of the security staion. this didn't happen at an airport but at the courthouse in Victorville, CA.
I went thru security, putting my keys, phone, pens and file folders in a bin for the conveyor belt and walked thru the metal detector. As one Goober was checking me with the wand to see what set off the buzzer, the other Goober noticed I had a camera in my cell phone and needed to return it to my car as they were prohibited in the building.
I gathered my things, stored the phone in my car and came back to the entrance. They waived me right on through in spite of the buzzing because I had just been checked 5 minutes ago.

I'd be more worried that our security theater let her just walk back on to the plane in the first place!

Good time for this.
A priest, a pentecostal minister, and a rabbi would get together twice a week for coffee to talk shop. One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.
>
>Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience. Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages on his body and limbs, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary, he became as gentle as a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."
>
Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, "WELL brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."
>
>They both looked down at Rabbi Goldberg, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape. The rabbi looks up and says, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

Good one, A. V. Thanks.

In regards to the Airport Security thing... someone should've had the good sense to provide her with an escort to avoid that type of stupidity (from both parties)

In an interview with the New York Times late Thursday, House Majority Whip James Clyburn called the former president's conduct "bizarre,"
Bubba bizarre? So what else is new?
