Boeing is not having a good 12 months.
Someone cut one corner too many … again.
Wonder how many heads will roll?
Will this be like an auditor having Enron on their resume?

I liked this one best!

Clearly, they don’t believe in the Libertarian principle that “the individual owns their own body and can / will put whatever they want into it”.
That’s why all drugs should be “legal”.

After all “they” can’t keep drugs and other stuff out of their prisons. So how do they control a “free” society.
End the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”!

I don’t understand how there are “wrong-way crashes” on Interstates?
Why can’t there be those parking lot barriers that are deployed to keep people from driving out without paying?
Argh!
