I heard a small blurb on the Wall Street Journal XM radio station this morning the Jet Blue and the FAA had settled a law suit with an Arab who tried to get on a Jet Blue plane wearing a shirt with Arabic writing that made the other passengers feel uncomfortable. Apparently, Jet Blue allowed the Arab on the plane if he would cover up the offending shirt and they found him another seat in the very back of the plane.
Apparently, the ACLU jumped all over this filing a law suit on the Arab's behalf.
The radio station reported the a settlement was reached where the Arab received $240,000.
Since I have been home, I can't find any written news story about this.
Has anyone else seen any stories about this?

Now my life is complete
Cheb Chelios lives!
I guess that fall from the helicopter at the end of "Cranked" didn't kill him after all. How about that?
That was a very intense, great movie. I was kind of bummed that they killed him off at the end, but I guess they let him live after all.

Sarah
There I said the word that sends you lovers of liberal politics into orbit.
Keep squawking, you all.
The more your eyes bulge and your heads spin at the mention of her name is enough to show she is right for 2012.
It's like watching the possessed Linda Blair go into spasms of rage and fear when Father Merrin shows up in "The Exorcist".
We must not let the left choose the Republican candidate in the next election.
No matter what they say, she has more experience than the person nominated and elected this time by the left.
Choosing her was McCain's best move because he was playing right into the left wing's hands until that moment. That move drove the liberals crazy.
I am ready to get my "Sarah Palin 2012" sign.

Minnesota?
I am still not certain what happened in Minnesota. The only explanations that I have seen are that the democratic supporters of the comic senate candidate keep coming up with "lost ballots" from all kinds of places until they got victory. Minnesota law must be in some kind of state if they can allow recounts to continue for 62 days after an election until the, apparently, pre-selected candidate wins.
In Florida, when President Bush defeated Al Gore, the Florida Attorney General kept the recounts open for the number of days prescribed by Florida law, and she stuck to it against pressure from the left to ignore her state's laws and keep the recount going indefinitely.
I don't know how it will play out in court. I don't see alot of MSM coverage on it, because shining light on this situation will never be good for the democratic party.
And also, how did the Vikings make that playoffs with Tavares Jackson at quarterback? Will that guy ever be any good? With a good QB to accompany that running game and that defense, the Vikings would be murder on the league.

Pelosi and crew strike again...
Did you see where, among other things, the Congress has voted themselves a "cost of living raise" to the tune of $2.5 million?
In this time of economic troubles where people are losing their jobs, apparently, 435 overpaid, out of touch congressmen need to rejoin the real world.
They were struggling so hard that they need pay raises to $174,000. Times are tough, huh?
Those people have alot of gall. http://usgovinfo.about.com/b/2009/01/03/congress-getting-a-pay-raise-how-about-you.htm

Has it been a week since my last entry?
Wow! Has it really been a week since my last entry. It feels like no time at all has passed. I have been enjoying my days off since Christmas. And for all of you who insisted on trying to make me work hard between Christmas and New Years...ha...you failed. I am looking forward to getting back to work now that the holidays are over. There's nothing like a little restful down time to recharge your batteries. We had a good Christmas together.
I don't mention my wife very often in this blog,, but only because that is what she wants. I just want you all to know how proud I am of her positive attitude, resolve, and bravery in going through this radiation therapy for her cancer. She is going to be as right as rain when this is over.
