They will probably learn something from the crash that will end up saving lives.

The 1.2 billion isn’t necessarily down the drain. We don’t know what it bought yet.

Hey, a billion here and a billion there, sooner or later it will amount to real money.

Accidents do happen, and the costs can be high at times, but that is life!

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Well Neiman, I am disappointed to see that you support huge deficits and want to bankrupt that United States.

That is what you meant. I can read your mind.

I am also disappointed that you torture puppies, also.

Neiman,

Allow me to suggest that there has been quite enough plagiarism of late.

The phrase, “A billion here… a billion there… and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.” was that of the late Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Bat One: No plagiarism! Absent memory of where I heard it, I could not offer proper attribution. Besides, after I plagiarize a quote often enough, I choose to forget where I heard and take for credit for the genious behind the quote. Later, I’ll sue and fight any man that takes credit for my words, you know, the ones I stole. I am from the Milton Berle Academy of Ethics.

Not very inventive or original, but I have come to expect that level of discourse from you!

Neiman,

As I recall, Uncle Miltie was a contemporary of Ev Dirksen, and I firmly believe that each of them would have been more than a little amused at the notion of their respective chosen careers being so similar.

In fact, I believe that Dirksen and his House of Representatives “sidekick” from Indiana, Rep. Charles Halleck, were often referred to as “The Ev and Charlie Show.”

And here we are fifty years later, and every national candidate of any note feels compelled to hit the Leno/Letterman circuit, and Obama is referred to by an awestruck press as a “rock star.” The more things change…

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

From where the wreckage lays, and the small size of the debris field, its a safe bet the pilot tried to abort the takeoff. I’ll put my fin on powerloss or complete engine failure. Who’ll take that action?
