1989 - 181 out of 293 passengers and crew survived the crash of a United Airlines DC-10.
COINCIDENCE? I think NOT!
“In the early days of woman-suffrage agitation, I saw that the greatest obstacle we had to overcome was the bible. It was hurled at us on every side.”
-- Elizabeth Cady Stanton
FROM THE CHURCH OF INEFFABLE STUPIDITY:
a) Britknee Spears
She is offering preggers and mothering skills advice to her
best, former best, worst best friend.
One can only shake one's head in wonder.

b) IraqNam
At least FOUR MORE US SOLDIERS' LIVES WASTED.
But that's OK. The GOP senators managed to show just how much they care
about their president's little invasion.

c) Copycat antics?
A humvee owner in the state of Washington woke up to find his POS Humvee with slashed tires, broken windows and a note attached. The note warned him about the damage to the environment his POS Humvee caused.
Watch for other POS Humvee owners to suffer the same fate at a location close to you.

Her previously announced trip to Israel was quietly cancelled.
three reasons why:
i) Condi is the most incompetent Sec. State in the history of this country
ii) Israel knows her for what she is, and when Dick Cheney is pulling all the foriegn policy strings, why have Ms. Prada Two Shoes as a messenger, when they can talk to him directly?
iii) Her Cheney handler assigned to insure she did nothing on her own was Eliot Abrams. (As part of a plea deal, Abrams swore never to act as an envoy again in his life. So, acting as an envoy and keeping Condi on a tight leash is par for the course for another member of this admin)
What continues to amaze is how members of the media continually give her a pass and promote her as extraordinarily popular. Not once has her performance been reviewed with a jaundiced eye. Not once have her many mistakes, msstatements and mismanaged jobs been discussed. Is it because she is black? or female? or a piano-playing, conservative, black, female?
