Checked Luggage a Thing of the Past?

April 7th 2010 13:23


That's what ZeroBaggage is claiming.

The folks there are claiming they can set up a service that provides them with clothes and other essentials at their destination, completely eliminating the need to carry checked luggage and elminiating carbon emmissions by lessening the weight on airplanes.


Flyers who become a part of this program get rewards like credit for time at spas and restaurants at their destinations....and they still get their carry-on.

The program starts in November, and the founder claims already some discount flights have scheduled no-baggage flights.

But would you be willing to share clothes with virtual strangers?

Might be a good idea to try to contact your local airports and see if they are scheduling these sorts of flights.

Just a thought.

Since When Did Terrorists Become U.S. Citizens?

March 6th 2010 23:16


Alrighty, now that I've drawn you in with that hellfire title, I can say what I've come here to post.

I was going through my news headlines for the day when I read a story that not only cocked my eyebrow high but definitely set an ulcer in my belly and a sour taste on my tongue.

I read on CNN.com that a Septembet 11th matermind terrorist may or may not be tried not only in New York City, but it's also unknown if he'll have a military or civilian trial.

The Obama administration has argued that a trial for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed on American soil would serve as a symbol of the U.S.'s rule of law. Now, I can see some sense in that, as sort of a psychoplogical motivator maybe. Perhaps trying him here would be the ultimate ironic slap in the face and demonstrate to the rest of the country that we found these guys, brought them back, and made them pay for what they did.

The classic scenario of the sherrif bringing the outlaw back to the town he vandalized to imprison him....all while the world watched.

I kinda sort of like that idea, but I also don't like the idea of him being back there. Not just bad mojo or anything, but sort of the principle of the thing. Also, when I learned that New York Police have projected an annual cost to the city that could exceed $200 million a year if this trial goes on for years, I was a little more dissuaded to the idea.

The full story can be found here: Your text goes here

Congressional leaders are also arguing that Mohammed shouldn't receive a civilian trial to keep him away from the protections and privileges associated with said type of trial.

If this guy is confirmed to be one of the those behind an attack that killed thousands of our own, why would we give him any protections at all? We've seen that terrorists enjoy this type of publicity and are proud of the heinous acts they commit. This guy would probably come to New York laughing, happy at what he may or may not have achieved.

When the Nazis were tried for their mass genocide, they received a military tribunal at Nuremberg. I don't see why this terrorist deserves anything less than the same sort.

NOW REMEMBER: None of this has been confirmed yet. I am not condemning any side in this, I am just saying it doesn't make much sense to me, coming from an American citizen's standpoint.

But what do you think?

Obama=Snookie?!

Seriously? For the sake of Republican Paul Broun's party and for everything they stand for and are trying to achieve in this country, I pray to God that this is not the Republican consensus

Scrubs Coming Back?

August 25th 2009 04:17


Now just when we had thought that "Scrubs" was gone from us forever, and that we'd never hear the Janitor's maniachal laughter down the halls, or one of countless Dr. Cox rants, or J.D. screaming "EEEEAAAAAAGLLLLLEEE" as he flies by on a gurney, talks are beginning about a ninth season of the popular ABC show
