Yep - that's item #6 on the checklist:
Excerpt from the Galactic Ultra Top Secret Politicos Handbook:
1. Gain power for the rich so we can oppress all the little people
2. Drive the cost of oil up so we can prop up the economy with defense spending and the occasional war...also, see goal number 6
3. Screw the spotted owl!
5. At all costs, do NOT distinguish yourself from other politicos with original thought! Instead, seek to attack their lifestyle, mannerisms, family, friends, religious convictions, etc.
6. Destroy aviation in the US
7. Check your blackberry at least 5 times a minute, unless you are in a conversation with someone, then make it 10.
The list goes on...fascinating reading.
