| 2008-05-14 |
| NY Sun New Yorkers interested in avoiding the gridlock of highway traffic on their way to the beach this summer now have the option of purchasing a Hamptons Helicard. For prices between $28,000 and $82,000, Blue Star Jets is offering membership in what the company is calling the first-ever helicopter club to the Hamptons. They claim it will eliminate the woes of traffic on the Long Island Expressway. The different packages offered include ten one-way trips for $28,000, 20 one-way trips for $55,000, or 30 one-way trips for $82,000 between the city and the Hamptons. Each leg of the trip takes about 30 minutes and comes with complimentary Champagne. h/t Instapundit, who quips: "AND WHEN YOU GET THERE, BE SURE TO BITCH about the Bush Administration's position on global warming." |

| #1 Uhm, there is no "global warming". In the nearly 70 years since 1940, the temperature has been steady to cooling for 50 years and warming for 20 (roughly 1978 to 1998) and the temperature is still not as high today as it was in 1933 (or 1998 for that matter). |
