[DeepModem Mom]

he diverted the Cessna guys yesterday. This story wasn't big enough to get W off his bike, but it dominated the news yesterday, and now a live press conference today?

1. he diverted a Cessna

and lived to tell about it? :wow:

[DeepModem Mom]

3. Good one!

2. Umm, so forcing down a civilian unarmed Cessna.....

flown by an older and rather confused dimwit, is now deserving of what, the metal of honor? Give me a break. I think Pravda (the old Soviet version) would beat our current MSM.

4. Who will ask him where he was on September 11th, 2001...

Eh?

5. Why does she smack her lips all the time? I get sick watching her n/t

[DeepModem Mom]

6. Small doses --

As I go about my business, I just keep CNN on, usually muted, in case some important event occurs. I can watch Aaron Brown, and sometimes Anderson Cooper. Seeing Daryn Kagan on the screen, however, even muted, now freaks me out -- for obvious reasons.

7. It's amazing to me that the powers that be at CNN

can find nothing more important to report on than this? On second thought, it's not amazing at all. What a buncha bozos!

8. Cut the fighter jock some slack. The intercept was "a difficult period."

He's just mighty proud he didn't stall and fall out of the sky slow-flying his F-16 around that mighty Cessna 150. :sarcasm:

9. I actually do give credit to the pilot for doing his job...

unlike his commander-in-chief on the bike -- just seems like this story is out of proportion, as usual, with everything else that's going on.

I realize you, however, are well qualified to look at this from a pilot's perspective!
