#1 America's enemies wanna destroy her iff they can't control her - iff anything, there should be MORE SHIPMENTS OF ARMS-MIL SUPPLIES GOING THRU SEATTLE-OLMPIA, NOT LESS. Too many Lefty Radicals-Anarchists-Governmentists want WAR, REVOLUTION, and SECTARIANISM/FRACTIONALISM in AMERICA WITHOUT KNOWING OR EXPLAINING WHY??? Its NOT Communism or Socialism, Govt'ism or Absolutism
Totalitarianism, etal. but PC-NEUTRAL, FEEL-GOOD, POPULIST EVERYMAN SAFETY, SECURITY, CONVENIENCE, RESPONSIBILITY, and ACCOUNTABILITY, etc.

Go to the blog and read the comments. They are a hilarious parody of a stereotype of sanctimonious liberalism unhinged.

#4 She said Nikki was a member of "Resistance to Port Militarization" and a founding member of the newly formed "Port Militarization Resistance," or something like that.

Splitters!

#5 Some people contribute to society while others pass their time here on Earth by making up stuff to do.

Perhaps if they raised the minimum wage you'd see less of this kind of stuff . . . . :-)

#6 Snigger, just what I needed to get me grinning ready for a new day ;)

I just read the comments on Olyblog, hmmmm - 'interesting' bunch aren't they? I cracked up when I read the first one;

Sounds like a not so fun experience. If it makes you feel any better I have no idea what "air america" is. I thought you were talking about that bad helicopter movie with mathew broderick in it.

LOL! - I'm an ignorant Brit (Engerlaaand!) and even *I* knew who Air America is.

#7 grb, if they raise minimum wage, it will still be minimum wage, so you'd see this kind of stuff unimpended.

#8 grb, if they raise minimum wage, it will still be minimum wage, so you'd see this kind of stuff unimpended.

Doh! Well, maybe there's a use for it then. I'll have to think about it for a while. :-)

#10 Wow...you know you're barking batshit crazy when Air America is too far to the right for you.

#11 Chris did seem a little shocked that I didn't have a cell phone (only a landline), or even a car. I assured her Nikki had both. She was also insistent on being able to contact me at any time of day she needed me. I had to explain to her, "Hey, I have to work, as in, at a shit job that I don't just get to chat on the phone at."

Somehow this seemed relevant, but, I... I... just can't offer any comment. I guess Wally speaks for himself.

Someday, he'll be president. Of something.

#12 He earns 7$ an hour? Doesn't look like his PhD in Indian Studies with "professor" Ward Churchill has allowed him to get a good job.

#14 Lemme see, Wally. You're part of a group that ripped a gate off of a fence, and you are wondering why they let the other guys in to see the kewl stuff on the warship?

Take another hit off the bong, and I'm sure it will all come clear.

#15 I didn't get to call in sick to work until we got to Seattle, like 45 minutes after my shift was supposed to start.

Dammit! Johnson, put Jose on the Fryolator. Hippie boy banged in again.

Bugwits. Let themselves be used. Enjoy your 15 minutes?

Oh man... Air America had Mel Gibson. It played like a "pre-quel" to the Lethal Weapon pics.

#18 So how do they really feel to find out that they're are just useful tools of another political machine. Heh.

#20 3 quotes sums up these losers (in order). My comments are what I thought while reading (w/o reading the comments below it):

(1) It turned out Nikki didn't have a cell phone either. I didn't get to call in sick to work until we got to Seattle, like 45 minutes after my shift was supposed to start. :D . . .

So, he works at a low wage job where people don't really care if he shows up?

(2) (I was, in fact, a peace activist for more than a year before my trip to Crawford.)

Man, your boss must REALLY not care, if you had time to drive to Crawford. Either that, or Mother Sheehan paid your way, and you went on a non-eco friendly gas guzzling airplane, dooood!

(3) I skipped out on five hours of work, or about $35, and risked losing my job altogether. We both spent our entire evening on this.

Confirms thoughts above, and that he's either a nowhere teenager lookin' for somethin' kewl to do, or he really is a loser. Oh, and the comment about his comrade-ettes listening to the NEW Dixie Twits album fits right in with my preconceived notions of them. My guess...Mc'Ds or Wally-World.

#22 "Or about the time we put Maynard's pet frog in an Estes rocket and launched him at Widow Krupnik's house, an' the wind caught the parachute an' he came in through the window three houses down landed in Mrs. Wilberry's bathtub when she's takin' a bath an' she like starts screaming. Dudes, we were so totally wasted that day."

Kelly? Is that you? I still have your bong.

#23 1) Air America must be hurting if even its core target audience hasn't heard of it.

2) As I recall, this wasn't even an Air America show. It was a show that's syndicated by Air America, among others. So they've never heard of Air America, but immediately begin blaming it for their "shabby" treatment.

#24 When we got home Nikki and I were so pissed we almost drank a whole Zima together when before we passed out.

#25 The question no one has ever answered is why anyone should dump NPR for Err America.

#27 Air America's tenure in Asia began when Civil Air Transport (CAT) crossed the river into Shanghai in 1946. It ended on a rooftop in downtown Saigon in 1975. First in, last out. That was CAT and Air America in China, Korea and in Southeast Asia.
