I think I may have taken a more subtle approach.

There are probably better ways to avoid jury duty than the approach recently taken by a Montana man. After Erik Slye, 36, received a jury notice earlier this year, he filed a notarized affidavit seeking to be excused from serving on a District Court panel in Gallatin County. Slye's caustic affidavit, which he prepared with help from his wife Jennifer, can be found below. |
To apologize for the recent fly over in NYC the Obama administration has a special plan for New Yorkers.
As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Hey, let's circle a 747 and two F-16s really low around lower Manhattan and not tell anyone. What could happen?
First day back at work from vacation and I'm already stressed and freaked out.

A plane circling Lower Manhattan escorted by two fighter jets is part of a “photo op,” said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters. The event caused some evacuations of office buildings in Lower Manhattan and Jersey City, N.J., on Monday morning. Mr. Peters said the Defense Department is conducting a photo op that involves deploying two F-16s and escorting a Boeing 747 in the vicinity of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. He said the maneuver is not an emergency and was coordinated in advance with the FAA and state and local officials. |
Photo op? Are you kidding me?
Sitting at my desk I hear jet engine increasing in volume from an already uncomfortable level. Looking out the window I can see the reflecting of a large commercial jet in the building across from me. It was very low and very close. A few minutes later the same noise but even louder!
No notification, no warnings, no nothing! So basically the FAA caused a panic in NYC that could have easily been prevented. I hope nobody was hurt and I feel badly for anyone who may have had flashbacks to 9-11. I know I did.

WSJ.com has video.
I'll be on vacation for a week but I will be posting once in a while. Be well!
I hope you have a wonderful Easter. Enjoy the family you are with and think about those you can't be with.
This is the day the Lord has made, Alleluia. Let us be glad and rejoice in it, Alleluia.
Via Alarming News. LA Times writer Andrew Klavan asks readers to actually listen to Rush Limbaugh instead letting the MSM hold their hands down the road of fabricated liberal outrage. I love this description:

By lifting some typically Rushian piece of outrageous hilarity completely out of context, the distortion gang knows full well it can get you to widen your eyes and open your mouth in the universal sign of Liberal Outrage. Your scrawny chest swelling with a warm sense of completely unearned righteousness, you will turn to your second spouse and say, "I'm not a liberal, I'm a moderate, and I'm tolerant of a wide range of differing views -- but this goes too far!" |
Great stuff. And I can't wait to see the follow-up piece.
