  1. BullShit. That airplane thief was NOT a pilot.

    If I steal a rocket ship does that make me an astronaut?

    If I steal a train does that make me an engineer?

    If I steal an election does that make me a president?

  2. Bobcat, Air National Guard keeps loaded F-16s on Alert at Andrews AFB. If hijacker looked like he was headed towards D.C. the 16s would have ruined his day. Further down the line the Air Force has lotsa F-22s just drooling to get the chance to earn their pay. Also, at any one time the Navy cruises up and down the Atlantic. I’ll bet highly trained, highly motivate sailors can load and launch a Hornet in 20 minutes or so. Yes, they’re that good.

  3. Elvis birthplace is in Tupelo, not Graceland. It’s a tarpaper shack on the wrong side of the tracks that run parallel to Rt. 45. A watermelon from 1,000′ could take it out, no need to kamikaze it!
