Talking to yourself TIS?  . Another problem landing a plane this time at laguardia, apperently it looks like a malfunction of the landing gear, fortunately doesnt appear to be serious, just a few people with minor injuries. Yea, I tend to do that Dellacroce.  I never answer myself though.  Haven't been watching tv last couple hours, so don't know about the LaGuardia plane. I have fortunately never experienced problems like that all the times I've flown. I can imagine how scary that would be. Malfunctioning landing gear? Seems to me that would be quite a problem.  TIS

Dellacroce, That airplane did having landing gear problems. Geez, I fly Southwest all the time when I go to Vegas and once to San Francisco. I didn't realize the flew Coast to Coast. I've never had any problems with them. They are the only airlines I know of that don't have baggage fees too. Anyway, the good news is no injuries. Whew!!!! http://news.yahoo.com/-southwest-plane-lands-without-front-landing-gear-in-new-york-225244739.htmlTIS

Can't say I've know this guy til recent events, but here in California the Mayor of San Diego, Bob Filner, has a number of sexual misconduct charges against him. This includes telling one female staffer not to wear underwear to work.  He's speaking now but coincidentally the mic went out at the most inopportune time. He so far said, he is going to 2 weeks of therapy. He's been adamant about NOT resigning tho everyone wants him to. So far, it doesn't sound like he's going to. They are waiting to fix the mic problems. TIS http://www.upi.com/blog/2013/07/24/San-D.../5141374668861/

Two weeks of therapy, that is a joke, his other comment about him needing to start being a better person also made me laugh. Also the article i read said that the local govt there doesnt know what to do besides ask for his resignation, can they not impeach him?

Can you impeach Mayors? Or have recall election.  This guy is a real piece of work. He keeps saying he's not gonna resign, but in the end I don't see a happy ending for him. Two weeks therapy??? That's not gonna cut it IMHO. If I had to guess, I'd bet he'll resign in the next week (tho I may be wrong). TIS

This priceless item from today's local newspaper:
Thief steals $100, defecates on floor
Police are currently investigating a burglary at a Granite Street visual arts center in which an unknown thief stole $100 in cash and defecated on the floor of the office.
According to police, staff at the center notified police on July 25 concerning the incident. An employee reported to officers she detected an odor the previous day just before leaving for the night. She also noticed a partially opened sliding door at that time, according to the police report, indicating the burglar may still have been inside the center.
Employees discovered the cause of the smell, as well as the robbery, the following day and contacted police. Police searched the building with a K9 unit, but were unable to find anyone still inside.

I heard someone say that the media is having a "Weiner Roast", or maybe known to some as "Carlos Danger." TIS I dont think the voters like his "stimulous package" Ha ha. I think he's the only one who even cares about his package. Oh, so many jokes here hu??? TIS

A few days ago our Archbishop of Canterbury (head of the Church of England)came out in the news condemning on-line payday loan companies who charge extortionate interest rates. There are many of these companies but the most famous and controversial is a lot called Wonga.com (over here Wonga is a slang term for money in general hence the naff name) He vowed to fight them, increase Church credit unions for the poor folks and actually drive Wonga out of business!!!! By the end of the day it was revealed that the Church of England actually has a load of money invested in Wonga, the very company the good Archbishop had referred to as worse than the money lenders Jesus threw out of the temple. Apparently the Archbishop is both furious and embarrassed at this turn of events...and so he should be. Hilarious. I love it when public figures like that make a fool of themselves. They should either check their facts or think before they open their mouths

Way too much time spent covering Alex Rodriguez. Did he admit to performance enhancing drugs? If so, just fire his sorry ass. He's a cheat. (this from a non-sports enthusiast point of view) TIS
