Wow, liberal circle jerk if I've ever seen one. And the categories are dumb also. Luck?

Putting Obama as 15 when his term is only half over says everything in this poll by "presidential experts". Especially when he is put above presidents like John Adams.

This would make my old high school band director cringe. He always insisted that since the National Anthem was composed as an up tempo march, it should be preformed that way.

If it is over a minute long, you are going way too slow.

and I agree with him. Although Marvin was an amazing singer, the National Anthem isn't something you should just take creative liberties with.

Ahh, the age old myth that this is the "busiest" travel time of the year. There is no difference in the number of flights the airlines have, nor from my experience as a pilot, the number of passengers.

The last few years I've flown right before Thanksgiving the passenger loads were actually rather light. Most people I would say live within driving distance of relatives or don't want to really pay a couple grand to fly thier family somewhere for one meal.

As for the worst airline I've ever operated as a pilot for (Im a regional pilot that flys for about 7 differnt ones)? United is the joke of the airline industry. The best? Continental.

Speaking from the view of an airline pilot, you get what you pay for people. If you want $99 New York to Las Angeles airfares its going to be a no frills affair. At least the first class passengers get it.

Get some perspective on the cost advantages to flying and you will quickly realize that even a $800 plus ticket is a great deal when dealing with travel large distances.

Gas from JFK to LAX in a car: $250
Possible car rental: $400
4-5 nights in a motel: $300
4-5 days of food: $150
Trip time cut down from 108 hours to 6: priceless

You burn about 700 calories per hour running 6 mi/hr. Im guessing you would get at least about 80 lbs. of meat off of that animal. Just for comparison a 16 oz. steak has about 1200 calories.

You would come out way ahead even if that animal only has about 800 calories per pound.
