I don't know why, but folks from Georgia seem to show up on those cop chase shows with waaay too much frequency. LOL

"New Yorkers finished last. Last year's loser, New Jersey, improved its score just enough to leap over New York. Hawaii, California and Georgia rounded out the bottom five."

Geeze Hawaii?  I've driven there and it didn't seem nearly as bad as Georgia.  Maybe people in too much of a hurry to get to the beach? Tongue

It must have been the stress of not being President that got to him.

No suprise there that one was coming.
 
In other news, the UKs Royal Air Force Red Arrows formation team just anounced that the first female pilot will be joining the team for the 2009-10 season. Flt. Lt. Kirsty Moore who had previously instructed on Hawk jet trainers currently flies Tornado GR.4s based at RAF Cottesmore will start training with them this fall. Although a first for the UK I believe the American Thunderbirds were the first jet demonstration team to assign a woman as a pilot in the formation. The Aussies currently have one in their Roulettes team. A woman also flew for two seasons in Canada`s Snowbird demo team.
 
The Brits differ somewhat from most other teams in that their pilots must have at least 1500 hours on "fast" jets wheras the Canadians and Aussies take guys and gals from transport, maritime patrol rotary wing as well as fast jet backgrounds. 
 
But these women. Who do they think they bloody well are !!! They should be in the kiitchen preparing meals Angry!!!
 
( just kidding about that last bit Big smile )

We should just give them a spanking. For the past three mornings this is the nonsense that I wake up to on the morning news and in the morning paper. Missile tests. The Japanese are not too happy about this at all because they know from experience. Send in the B-1s and carpet bomb them into oblivion.

If they keep it up, and Russia can agree with the USA, that is likely.

Tragic. That black box might not be recoverable depending on the depth of the water. The search area is immense. Whatever happened here it happened fast. Really too early to speculate but I doubt it was a lightning strike though.

Your Highway dollars at work.

Why don't they just make it an even .20 cents a gallon for the Federal highway taxes?

So much for a free and open society if that stuff ever gets in the wrong hands.

On this important anniversary of D Day, my heartfelt thanks to all who protect free people-past, present, and future.  Without their sacrifice we would not enjoy the lives we have.  For me personally, I thank an Uncle Wally that I never knew....who was among the first on the beaches of Normandy.  Heart  But I thank them all, those in every conflict who have given their all.

U.N. environment chief urges global ban on plastic bags 6/10

"They were the second most common form of litter after cigarette butts at the 2008 International Coastal Cleanup Day sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy, a marine environmental group."

Hmm, I'm surprised they aren't more common.

But if we get rid of all those plastic bags then the oil companies will suffer.

Note: I heard about a recent study that showed those reusable cloth bags shouldn't be used for food shopping due to them harboring bacteria. I wouldn't think that it would be a problem unless you don't wash your veggies/fruits once you get home.

And don't use those bags as tiolet paper.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
