Important Stuff -- Or Not: Don't Try to Fly Below My Gaydar

Don't Try to Fly Below My Gaydar

I haven't flown since 1992, when I returned from my last overseas assignment in the Air Force. I didn't mean for it to be my last overseas assignment, but then Clinton got elected and I ran for the exit.

I digress.

I would rather drive for four days (my average time from DC to L.A.) than endure four hours of abuse by jerks like this -- a jerk our idiot youth have decided to make into a national folk hero.

I blame the public schools.

But, I digress.

When I first caught a glimpse of Slater, my gaydar went BlipBlipBlipBlipBlip! True, he had an ex-wife. But she had nothing but praise for him. How often does THAT happen??

The second clue was that he grabbed two beers before sliding down the escape chute rather than two wine coolers.

It's a burden being right 100% of the time.

Most of us don't have the option to quit our jobs as dramatically and joyously as he did, due to responsibilities. But he is our dream come true.Keep the dream alive!! Go Gatuh!!; 4:54 AM
Joe said...: Well, get used to it. We all have our burdens to bear. I must say, though, as I share the same burden, it is heavy, indeed.; 9:16 AM
Jean said...: I'll do almost anything to avoid flying. I committed to it after I retired from the Air Force a little over two years ago, and the only thing I've flown for was my grandmother's funeral. For everything else, I've driven or taken the train. Amtrak has some good options -- we'll be doing that again.

I've never had any specific problems with TSA personnel, only the bizarre, ludicrous, and ever-changing regulations they are tasked to enforce. I'm sure that's largely what's killing the airline industry, but I won't endure that treatment willingly. I don't believe it increases our flying safety enough to make it worthwhile -- especially since everything is reactionary in nature. Someone will always find a way around it -- even if we flew naked and subjected ourselves to full body cavity searches, SOMEBODY would find a way around it.; 11:43 AM
Rob said...: He is no hero. I have served the public for nearly 20 years and I have had plenty of near breakdowns but it never came to that. The measure of a professional dignified person is seeing the opportunity as this jerk did and NOT taking it. Sure there are many customers who deserve to be unloaded on but that is where the collective mindset has gone to Hell in our time. If it were coming to that for him he should have drafted a letter of resignation when the plane landed and quit. Instead he not merely insulted a common flyer (whether or not they deserved it) but he insulted a company that employed him for the past 28 years. He showed them no respect, no gratitude, no dignity. I'm sick and tired of this "reality show" world that we are now living in. He is no hero. He is no rock star. He deserves nothing less than to be treated like the jerk that he is.; 5:48 PM
Mark said...: Just saw the video. Man, that guy is as queer as a three dollar bill.

I work in customer service. Customers can be very trying on one's patience, but a mature person would know how to handle them with grace. This guy has no standards. At all.

Bet he's a Liberal, too. No standards, no morals, and no class. Yep, he's a Lib.; 8:53 PM

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
