KCI is the worse big city airport in the world.

Never been there. You ever flown KLM?

I was Delta TYS-ATL-AMS then KLM CityHopper. AMS is okay I guess. Wierd to see the altitude while taxing be negative 3-4 meters.

Coming back was KLM on 1st two flights. KLM 777 has economy comfort so I bought one of those and it was worth it. Twice the recline on 9 hr flight.

The KLM crown room is better than the skyclubs. Actual food instead of snacks.

Plus the purser came back and told me I was an important customer and he apologized for not being able to move me to a less crowded seat, which I took to be Biz class but it was full. My account shows they bumped me to a Y fare so I at least got the 50% MQM bonus on a trans-atlantic flight. Plus on KLM in coach trans-atlantic liquor is also included and not just beer and wine as on Delta.

And its definitely nice being Elite Plus on skyteam with the boarding and security line access. In AMS they had it for pass port control as well. Not so in ATL which is perplexing.

Waterboard, shuffleboard, board-n-bat, who gives a shit?

The sons of bitches in Gitmo were / are not nice people. They would just as soon shoot you as cut your throat, or slit your wrists and watch you bleed out. These people were not "detained" because they were petty thieves.

Try bamboo shutes under their finger nails. Stream syrup along the floor to their nutsack and pour on the fire ants. I'd be willing to bet the any question asked would be answered truthfully.

Heh...

Obama May Prosecute CIA Agents Who Got bin Laden Intel

http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/207699.php

So, Obama is "brave" for "doing the right thing" and allowing the CIA/DOD to kill bin Laden. Since when is it an act of courage for a President to do the same thing any other President would do?

Kudos to you Mr. President for other "courageous" acts such as breathing, eating, and sleeping.

But that's just media hypocrisy. You expect that from the media. That doesn't bother me all the much.

But it does bother me that Obama has indicated that he will continue to allow Attorney General Holder to investigate and possibly prosecute CIA agents involved in the "enhanced interrogations" of certain key al Qaeda figures.http://ace.mu.nu/archives/315782.php

Such figures as Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and al Libi.

As in, the guys who gave up the name of the courier which we then tracked to bin Laden.

Which means that on the very day that Obama is in New York celebrating his own non-involvement in the killing of Oasma bin Laden he has signaled his continued support for prosecuting men who were actually involved in tracking down bin Laden.

What kind of sick egomaniac celebrates by stabbing the very men who did the dirty work necessary for tracking bin Laden down and giving us this victory?

LOL...



UPDATE: Bryan "SEAL Team Six Meat Buffet" Preston thinks it might be Nerf gun. Maybe, but I'm still going with the water pistol.

But it's funny, either way.

UPDATE by Rusty: I got a tip from a Drudge reader that SEAL Team Six drops these squirt guns as a calling card and maybe an inside joke. Like, "Unarmed? Why no. Look at that gun right here."

Texas Legislature passes sonogram requirement

Code: Select all

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/7552437.html

AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Legislature passed a bill Thursday that would require doctors to perform a sonogram before conducting an abortion.

Gov. Rick Perry had declared the bill to be emergency legislation, and it now awaits his signature. The proposed law requires doctors to conduct a sonogram at least 24 hours before an abortion and to provide the woman with the opportunity to see the results and hear the fetal heartbeat. The doctor is also required to describe what the sonogram shows, to include the existence of legs, arms and internal organs.

Proponents said the law is necessary to make sure women understand what an abortion entails. Opponents say the measure would interfere in the doctor-patient relationship.

"This will be one of the strongest pieces of sonogram legislation in the nation," said state Rep. Sid Miller, R-Stephenville, the bill's author. "House Bill 15 will protect human life, the lives of the unborn victims of abortion, as well as those facing life-changing decisions. ... This legislation will save numerous unborn lives."

Only three other states require a sonogram for all women seeking an abortion.

The Texas Medical Association opposed the bill because it dictates when a doctor must perform a procedure, and how the doctor must deal with his or her patient. While a pre-abortion sonogram is routine, it is not considered a medical necessity.

An exception to the waiting period was made for medical emergencies, or for women who live more than 100 miles from the nearest abortion provider. In cases of incest, rape or fetal abnormality, the woman does not have to hear a description of the fetus.

The bill passed both the House and the Senate with a two-thirds majority, meaning the law will go into effect immediately after the governor signs it. The vote on Thursday to concur with changes made in the Senate was 96-48, with three Democrats voting for the bill, and four Republicans voting against.

State Sen. Dan Patrick, who sponsored the Senate bill, said he expected the bill to reduce the number of abortions in Texas.

"We believe that if one out of five women after seeing the sonogram, hearing the explanation or hearing the heartbeat, change their mind, that's 15,000 lives that can be saved," said Patrick, a Houston Republican.

In the final debate on the bill Monday, Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, said the bill was clearly designed to interfere with women exercising their legal rights.

"The purpose of the bill is to traumatize women who are seeking an abortion," she said.

Waterboard's a fact, Bin Ladin got whacked.

Waterboarding not stopped, Bin Ladin got popped.

Waterboarding not stopped, Bin Ladin got popped.

In January 2009, President Obama banned the use of waterboarding starting April 2009

I didn't think Newark was bad at all. Kansas City was the worst I've experienced.

Now THIS is more along the lines of Prof I'm accustomed to... None of that lucid stuff I've seen about the oil prices in the last week or so.

Newark is much better than JFK or LAX. I'm connecting in La Guardia today. I don't think I've ever been there before.

[Toemeesleather]

There was never, EVER, an anti-war movement in this millennium. There was only an anti-Bush movement. The protesters got what they wanted when Obama was elected. So, they are done protesting


Just like the NOW crowds' hypocrisy was exposed in the Clinton administration, the peaceniks have been exposed now.
