Perfect Background Music for a Pilot Surviving a Last-Second Eject

Filed Under Entertainment, Science & Nature | 4 Comments

This video is from a practice run on Friday for an air show in Canada — it’s about as close as a pilot can get to “buying the farm” as possible, and he’s reportedly doing okay. I watched the video, but it wasn’t until I turned up the volume that I realized the song being [...]

Filed Under Business, PC | 4 Comments

Bill Clinton Has Higher Favorability Rating Than Barack Obama

Filed Under Politics | 1 Comment

Gallup’s 2010 “favorability ratings” are out, and Bill Clinton takes second only to Michelle Obama (clearly Hillary wasn’t included in Gallup’s polling sample): What catches my eye is that 4% of people have never heard of Barack Obama or George W.

Meet the Next Governor of Tennessee — Okay, Maybe Not

Filed Under Politics | 2 Comments

Allahpundit at Hot Air wants to see a Basil Marceaux/Alvin Greene debate. I’d take that one “pay per view.” So, without further adieu, here’s the next governor of Tennessee: I’ll go on record though as saying that I’d prefer mandatory “pledge of allegiance to the republic” and a leader without a toothy grin to “Hope [...]

Filed Under Politics | 9 Comments

From the “if Sarah Palin said this it would be Katie Couric’s lead story” file, Harry Reid recently took to the Senate floor to defend the auto industry bailout, and said that without it, Ford would probably be out of business today.

Filed Under Business, Environment, Nat'l Security, Politics | 1 Comment

An accident that polluted the Gulf of Mexico and possibly negotiating to speed up the release of the Lockerbie bomber in order to get oil contracts from Libya? The latter has yet to be proven, so we’ll see where it leads, but I can think of better years as far as public relations goes: Senior [...]
