I bet if we showed up in the gate area and started coughing and sniffling a lot we could scare the rest of the pax off the plane. :D

And with just us on board I'm sure that we could come to an agreement with the FAs in terms of access to the bar carts. I'll be happy to supply chocolates again for such an endeavor.

Might your amusement have to do with the lack of movement in Greta Van Susteren's face despite that she is indeed really speaking? (Too early. Oops.)

Thanks to CM, ssullivan, and Steph3n for your thoughts on Chase. I think I'll roll with it and see how it goes.

Also also, I should get 2 EQP for each leg of an AUS - IAH roundtrip, for a total of 4 EQP per ticket, yes? I'm thinking that once I get to AUS, I can qualify for silver on points by doing a series of F turns over a two month period on weekends.

Yes, part of it is. Another part is referring to the NYT as the New York Obama Times.

Hannity actually was very critical of the Republican Party tonight. You would never hear such criticism of the Democrats from CNN (I certainly haven't, and I've watched them every day for the last five years).

If it's political hilarity of the right-leaning version that you seek, I heartily suggest the new Ann Coulter book. The "New York Obama Times" is funny, but sadly true.

I said the other day that she makes salient points, but you have to see past the humor to get to them. I don't agree with all of her assertions, as I'm someone who is ALCO-drink-coupon staunch in my belief that faith and politics do not have a reason to intertwine and she is equally staunch in her belief that faith is a bedrock component of conservative thought.

Ann Coulter is a bit annoying, but I would be willing to read her most recent book. She is very tall in person, by the way.

Ust walked past my butcher. He closed up shop. Gone. No mas. After 49 years in business.

I'm distraught. Shopping there, with the conversations and them actually trimming the meat custom was phenomenal. And now it is gone. :( :(

Just wrapped up my meeting with the broker about my apartment. She was tossing around numbers that seemed rather high - similar to where I expected to sell at last year. Sure, I'll have to spend on the broker fee this time, but I'd be rather happy to sell at the price point she thinks is feasible. Here's hoping...

Best piggy flu quote yet, as seen on CNN as I sipped my coffee in the lobby of the Swissotel here in CHI:

In any event, one of the main stories on CNN this evening is women withholding sex with men to force them to lobby for or enact legislation that comports with the individual woman's beliefs. Isn't that anti-feminist to imply that the only power women have over men is sex (despite that these CNN "feminist" female anchors seem to think it is a good idea)? I certainly think so.

I am ready to turn on Fox News just to escape the Twitter and Facebook "ireporter" nonsense. Hey losers, get a girlfriend or something and stop posting your irrelevant political thoughts on CNN Twitter or the CNN Facebook page and hoping that Roland Martin talks about it on his stand-in show for Campbell Brown.

Only a bit annoying? I can't stomach even two seconds of her on TV. She comes on, I change the channel. Immediately.
