The flight attendant from hell

The flight attendant from hell.

Finally, the time had come for me to face Big Bertha- the airborne antichrist.

This is the worst article I've read in some time. Bad, bad, bad. The guy certainly could have been edited for length on this one. He seems to ramble on without making a point. The column certainly lacks any redeeming value. I think this was something he threw together to make his deadline.

Maybe you're mistaking Salon for CNN. Maybe you don't know what magazine feature writing is. But it's not a "news" piece, and if you look back at his archive of columns, you'll see some fantastic travel writing. National Geographic and other monthly mags certainly think so, too.

I have a rule in life (actually more than one, but I digress...)

Never, but Never, read anything where the author has his/her picture on the cover (or in the case of a web page his characiture at the top).

Robert.

PS. Hence I don't own any Norton utilities
