I just returned from a trip from Phoenix and flew US Airways.  Never again will I.  The flight there was no problem, a perfect flight.  But the return flight is where everything falls apart.  The Flight was supposed to leave for Milwaukee at 6:40pm.  As soon as I arrived, it was delayed to 7:40pm due to a delay from the incoming aircraft.  Okay, I can live with that.  We were supposed to board that flight at 7:20pm, but didn’t until about 8.  Around 8:30 and after taxiing almost all the way, we are alerted that there was a hydraulic leak in the right wing.  We went back to have it checked out.  About 15 minutes later, they told us we would need to switch planes.  Again, no problem with me; I’d rather be on a safe plane and delayed than an unsafe one.  We reboarded and flew out around 10:00pm Arizona time.  When we reached the Chicago area, there were massive storms not allowing us entry to Milwauakee, so they circled O’hare for about 20 minutes while talking to ATC.  Eventually they decided to land at O’Hare.  We had to descend through a probable severe thunderstorm, and got thrown all around (which I liked, it was an adrenaline rush!)  Once we landed, we were forced to stay on the tarmac because the rain and lightning was so intense that no one was leaving any of the gates.  We stayed there for 2 hours (3:00am to 5:00am central time) before the storms subsided.  During this there was almost 4 inches of rain on the tarmac and cloud to ground lightning, a massive storm.  We were told by the captain that we were going to be given accommodations, which we all thought meant hotels.  Apparently it meant nothing.  We were told to go to baggage claim, which was about 2 miles away.  When we got there, all of our baggage was on the carousals waiting to be grabbed.  Around 5:30am we were told that we were going to be bussed to MKE, and the busses should be there around 6:45am.  Come 7:15am they still weren’t around.  The guy who told us about the busses then said that they would have a plane ready to board in 30-45 minutes.  Great, we all thought.  Well, we had to get hand written boarding passes, and go though the TSA checkpoint again, which was a complete waste of time.  Then we had to hike back to the same area we had just come from 2 hours earlier.  When we got there, we sat and were notified about 30 minutes later that our flight was moved to a different gate.  We moved there. Finally around 9:00am we were boarded onto that plane, flight 9030.  After everyone had gotten on, about 9:30am we taxied out.  We were then told, yet again, that we couldn’t take off due to weather.  We  waited about 2 hours, until 11:00am, and decided to head back to the gate. We then disembarked yet again. We were given the option of waiting for the plane to take off (which it may never do) or getting a bus.  Most people headed to the bus.  We had to go back to the same baggage area a second time to get our checked baggage. We then got vouchers that would get us on the busses free, but not guarantee us seats.  We waited about an hour and a half until 1:10pm for the MKE bus to come and luckily most of us got on (others had chosen other ways or stayed  the flight out.)  We finally got going and got back to MKE around 3:00pm or so.  All in all a horrible experience that I will not soon forget.  Now, I do understand that the airlines have no control over the weather, and this has nothing to do with that.  The staff were all very unaccommodating, most were rude, and very snippy to us.  They were just pushing us along, and I believe lied to us many times. I will never fly US Airways again due to the fact that they were very rude to all of us and didn’t seem to care aside from this one Manager at O’Hare whose name escapes me.  They should have gotten us all on busses at 7am and left it at that.  We would have been back in MKE around 9am, not 3pm.

I’ve never liked David Letterman, and only watch his show when there is someone interesting on. His humor is cruel and just plain annoying. On Monday, he makes some nasty, nasty comments about Sarah Palin and her daughter. He called Gov. Palin a “slutty airline stewardess”. If that wasn’t enough, he makes another very disturbing sexually based “joke”–if you can call it that–about Gov. Palin’s daughter. He said that Alex Rodriguez knocked her up while they were at a baseball game. As disturbing as that is, turns out Gov. Palin was there with her 14-year-old daughter, making this a joke about statutory rape. Wow Lettermann, how big of a nasty perverted pedophile can you be? Imagine if he made that comment about Pres. Obama’s daughter? Oh wait, HE wouldn’t because he’s employed by a far left leaning network that would edit that out. No one on the other side of the aisle would make that comment either because we have a conscience. It’s so sad that it comes down to slamming people that aren’t even involved.

This video is just too awesome.  Quickly becoming viral!  These guys rule.

Dirtbag. Enough said. How can people waste $15/month on HBO to watch this moron?

So GM will file for bankruptcy come Monday. This is absoutely awesome! I love that we were basically forced to give these horribly managed companies billions of our hard earned tax dollars because our president, the dope, promised that they would be fine if we gave. I knew from day one, that it wouldn’t work; period! I’m so sick of Obama and his “policies”. He thinks he knows what he is doing, but he knows nothing! I still cannot believe that someone so inexperienced was voted president. Oh, but I better be careful, all this negativity towards him will most likely be construed as racism from progressives like the biggest dirtball pinheads in Hollywood. We now own GM, thanks to the messiah, and it irritates me so much. I wonder what’s next, and I am nervous to find out.

So I saw a protest the other day in Fond Du Lac where a union was protesting in front of a Festival Foods store because Festival doesn’t have a union for their workers.  You have got to be kidding me.  They were carrying signs that were telling people to not shop there because of that.  Big flippin’ deal.  It’s people like that who make me dislike unions all the more.  Every time I see mindless protests, especially like this, I get so irritated.  If you don’t like it, don’t shop there!  The funny thing is that an hour later it was drizzling out, and they had left.  So they felt they had to waste their Saturday protesting for something that they believed in (or were brainwashed in) but when it rains a tiny bit, they leave.  Apparently not a big priority for them.  Those people might as well not use me for computer help because I don’t have a union for myself.  Oh no!!  Many of the protests are because of the outsourcing of jobs, and some people are so stubborn that they will not even buy anything that is remotely related to outsourcing, such as Walmart.  Hmm, do these people have computers?  If so, they are hipocrits!  All PC parts, from the motherboard to the hard drives are manufactured in Taiwan and that general area.  All of those people need to drop all their technology, as almost nothing is made here in the US.  Sorry guys!

So a police officer in El Monte California is under investigation for allegedly kicking a suspect in the head following a high-speed chase. The chase was televised and watchers apparently called police to complain. Now I am all for cops keeping their heads afterwards, but it bugs me when the suspect decides to sue the police after what he or she has done. They commit crime after crime, evading police, drive dangerously, and such. When it finally ends, and the cops use force against them, they turn it around. Look, people who do such things need to accept the consequences of their actions and live with it. If you bring a cop(s) on a high speed chase, you deserve whatever you get.
