Not so friendly skies

July 17, 2017

And the tweet storm continues  –   Ann Coulter, still upset about her $30 seat.  “It cost me $10,000 of my time to pre-select the seat I wanted, investigate type of plane & go back periodically to review seat options.”

So  Ann is SO smart, but not smart enough to hire a decent travel agent to do that kind of work for her?   (Or maybe no agent would take her on as a client.)

–

Of course for a lot less than $10,000 she could have flown first class…

 

Give Ann Coulter credit. Who can remember the last time a celebrity made an airline look good?

If Lavar Ball opened his mouth and nobody covered it, would he still be an a**hole?

As if @NBA regular season games aren’t meaningless enough, now we’re supposed to care about summer league & what shoes players are wearing?

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott, still under investigation for an alleged 2016 sexual assault, reportedly was involved Sunday night in an “altercation” at a Dallas bar. No arrests were made. But congrats to all those who had July 16 in the pool.

Has anyone told Trump approval numbers are not like golf, where lowest score wins?

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows Trump’s approval rating in counties that he won at 50%.
And we all know how good Americans are at saying “I might have made a mistake.”

Sean Spicer’s excuse for  Donald and Ivanka Trump outsourcing  in their own businesses: “There are certain supply chains or scalability not available in this country.” #MadeinAmericaWEAK

#SFGiants playing like the team they are really trying to catch is the #Phillies

As a lousy athlete myself, I know there is almost nothing baseball players do that I could do.  Except maybe lob a baseball underhanded a short distance.  Not that players do that very often.  But in the “new ways to lose” department tonight, Giants pitcher Matt Moore tossed a ball underhanded about 30 feet towards first base, and threw it well over the 1st baseman’s head….

A British doctor found 27 contact lenses in a woman’s eye. And here I feel stupid when I lose one on the floor.

Billboard on Highway 101 in Northern California  “Eyes on the road – don’t text and drive.”   Uh, if you’re reading the billboard your eyes aren’t on the road.

If nothing wrong happened at Russia meeting wouldn’t you think the mystery 8th person would be proudly proclaiming he/she was there?

 

Should we really expect a man who couldn’t find US-born women for 2 of his 3 wives to give more than lip service to #MadeInAmericaWeek?

So what’s @realDonaldTrump going to do this week to steal headlines from#OJSimpson‘s parole? Asking for a country.

Repealing Obamacare without replacement is just an indirect form of voter suppression – as in “let them die before the election.”
