Airlines Passengers Stranded for 10 Hours on Tarmac

These folks were stranded on the tarmac in late December in Austin due to weather in the DFW area. For 10 hours! The plane eventually ran out of food and drinks and the toilets were overflowing. The flight was then cancelled and passengers had to get a flight the next day. They created a blog to push a "Passengers Bill of Rights". Apparently elected officials are not paying much attention. I suggested they should get the D.A. to prosecute the American Airlines agents for false imprisonment.

Does the New Year have legs?

Tradition holds that the Old Year is the Old Man with the scythe, while the New Year is an infant in diapers. However, given the lack of any vital signs shown on this blog over several weeks, this image seems to be the harbinger of 2007 for Two Good Legs.

Let's review: the Democrats take over Congress, Rumsfeld is out, Negroponte moves over to State, and so far this year, Cheney hasn't shot anyone. Surely something there puts the itch to your little blogger fingers, eh?

On the other hand, maybe I need to pay more attention to the fad lists that come out about this time of year -- blogging - out, burrowing - in.
