1. Time to photoshop McCain and Bush over the mobsters

in that Monty Python sketch about them shaking down the Army base.

We wouldn't want to have anything happen to those tanks now, would we?



What do you mean, "something happen to them", they're tanks!

14. Here ya go:

2. Shades of Paul Wellstone?

Hmmm . . .

3. I thought the same thing.

Stay safe, Barack.

4. hi, Faygo

9. Hey, Catwoman. I have resisted my usual photo posts, but - well, shoot.

Gotcha! You thought it would be Granny, didn't ya?



(Actually, in a twisted way, this is kinda hot . . . )

13. Frankie and Johnny were lovers, that's the way the story goes.....

[Faygo Kid]

17. I'm thinkin' about making that my new avatar, instead of the Swedish Chef. Whaddaya think?

I would never make such a profound move without your input, Catwoman.

Here's my other alternative:

18. I prefer Elly Mae

:)

19. I will try it tomorrow. That IS a hell of a pic, isn't it?

Got to get my "beauty rest" tonight for work tomorrow, but that will be one cool avatar.

If you want to take it first, it's my gift. You have many kitties already at the bottom of your posts (I only have three. And three dogs, too).

Anyway, think about it, and you're the boss. I'm down for the count tonight.

16. Scared the "stuffing"

out of me! :scared:

[malaise]

5. The cover up by FAA is troubling

Shakes head. Please stay safe Barack Obama. You have a wife and two young daughters.

[isentropic]

10. I've asked a DUer who's a current ATC controller to weigh in here.

I do not believe it is a requirement for a local controller to immediately send up to FAA HQ every emergency declaration.

[curious one]

6. At the time, it was reported it was Clinton plane on loan to Obama and not Obama's regular plane.

[isentropic]

8. You don't do yourself any credit posting bullshit like that, you know.

:grr:

[curious one]

11. A little search on the news will tell you about accuracy of the bs.

12. Reported by whom? Link please.

[orleans]

15. i googled the quote and actually did find

nbc in chicago reporting it:
http://www.nbc5.com/newsarchive/16809951/detail.html

Obama's campaign charter hasn't made a precautionary landing before.

"This is a first," he said.

The same plane was used by Hillary Clinton during the primaries, but after Obama clinched the nomination, he began using it, KSDK-TV in St. Louis reported.

There were no injuries to the 48 passengers and crew, which included Obama.

it was also on wonkette's website:

with a link to an abc blog of jake tapper:
"This was not Obama's regular campaign plane, which is being overhauled. It was a loaner, having previously been used by Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.

23. A loaner previously used by Sen. Clinton or anyone else hardly denotes any culpability

[orleans]

26. i agree. n/t

Obama's Plane Makes Emergency Landing

Yesterday, the plane carrying presidential candidate Barack Obama was forced to make an unscheduled landing in St. Louis. The plane, an MD-80, experience pitch problems after an emergency slide in the tail cone inadvertently deployed in the tail cone. Which we have never ever heard of happening before. We're not saying it was sabotage but, you know, we just saw this:

This was not Obama's regular campaign plane, which is being overhauled. It was a loaner, having previously been used by Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.

Please do not read too much into this. I hope everyone stays safe.

7. Not really, a slide inflated and rubbed on the elevator cables.

If Obama hadn't been on the plane they would never have declared an emergency...especially since they had already regained full control. It was understandable but not really very professional. There was never any danger.

20. Would you think I'm insane

if I told you I have this really creepy feeling that neither Obama nor McSame will be the candiates on election day? Am I getting weird psychic vibes or is listening to politcal talk radio all day doing weird things to my brain?

:scared: :hide: :tinfoilhat:

22. He flying American Airlines? n/t

24. Sen. Wellstone's plane experienced a problem.

We know what happens to problems. Especially people who are problematical.
