Today's leading snooze on MSNBC? Brace yourselves...

[Subdivisions]

It's a $7 package containing a small pillow and a blanket.

That's right. Jet Blue is now charging $7 for the comfort gear and MSNBC is all over it.

...

UPDATE: MSNBC is reporting that some people who've purchased comfort accoutrements from Jet Blue for $7 are turning around and selling said accoutrements on eBay for 10 bucks or more!


Well...now I can get through my day secure in the knowledge that I have everything I need to continue my mission as an informed citizen of this great nation.

1. Time to start riding trains again

2. If you can stand the DHS patrols wielding submachine guns in the Amtrack stations, anyway

3. I can sleep tonight!

Y'know what's really sad? I literally cannot watch cable news anymore. My blood pressure goes up when I watch it and I have heart disease.

4. They also include a $5 coupon good at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Not that that makes this story any more important! Did they report it as "Breaking News"? Everything is "Breaking News" on MSNBC. They must have an awful lot of broken news lying around the studio.

5. Don't forget Scarface being subjected to a $2 Pop or $1 Water.

Some tool said he should be thankful he wasn't on Spirit - they charge $3 & $2 for the same.

6. Seems to me

People could buy the pillow, and turn around and resell it when they get off the plane to passengers get on the next plane. It would all even out, and cut out the Jet Blue middle man.
