And after strenuous objections!

In fact, I cannot fathom any remote desire to every fly on my own. It is an act of sadomasochism these days.

Meanwhile – for all you Republicans out there – LaHood is Obama’s token Republican. And Mineta was Bush’s token Democrat! Idiocy is bipartisan.

Ground: “1204 negative, Clearance Delivery says airport operations would be disrupted, standby this frequency.”
