I prefer the Wall Street approach: work that pays a million dollars an hour and is finished before lunch on Monday.

None of us are ... but maybe someone has the imagination to explain the thinking behind grounding the airplanes when the million-dollar turbo-gizmo that starts the engine isn't working.

Completely OT, I was just looking on Facebook and saw a picture of a five year old with a scoped rifle on a bipod next to the woodchuck he'd just shot (his dad is so proud) followed by a girl spewing about her wonderful husband taking her glamping (thanks, wonkette, I wouldn't have had a clue what this meant). Think it's time to do some purging and possibly emigrate.

All's the Repugs need is for Harry Reid to appoint one Blue Dog and they'll get what ever they want out of the deal.

Drought, famine, pestilence, lakes turning to blood, etc. etc... more good times in Texas. The eleventh plague visited upon Egypt was when the Pharaoh's hideously expensive stealth chariots wouldn't start ... or it would have been if they hadn't caved after ten. Texans are more obtstinate.

That's just because they're systematically disenfranchised.

If you add all the fighter jets that work less than full-time, the problem is even more severe.

So the Pentagon needs what? About 2 dozen more because they look so kewl?

So the top brass gets to sit in the cockpit and go "vroom, vroom"?

Heh, heh. I said "Cockpit".

If it's like Mozilla's Firefox they'll crash about 8 times a day.
