Another bad decision made over the weekend:
What do you do when your son is late to a tennis tuneup and team tryouts are two days away?
A Lake Villa man hopped in his Piper Clipper airplane Saturday, breezed above the congested roads and landed at a golf course across a highway from the tennis club, where skis on the underside of his four-seater glided across the snow-covered fairway.
I heard this guy on the radio this morning, sounding as if it was a normal decision to land on private property with his airplane just because he didn't want to deal with Saturday morning traffic. Hello?!? It's a frickin' golf course, you idiot!! What gives you the right to turn it into your private landing strip? My teeth were grinding listening to this thinks-he's-so-entitled jerk.
but Kathy?!?!? his kid's spot on the tennis team was at stake. C'mon!
which is to say - nothing would be wrong with me hi-jacking the subway when mac needs to be somewhere. right?
I wish I could kick her. She lives nearby, right?
She just fills me with rage! I've been wanting to smack her puffy, smug face All Day. Some of that may be wicked PMS talking. Not all.
I think this is one of my favorite parts of the Plane AssHat story:
[The FAA] will review the pilot's certification, whether rules of flight were followed and whether the aircraft was properly maintained...
"Huh. Turns out landing this thing on a golf course isn't illegal."
"What?! That's crazy!"
"Yeah."
"We've got nothing on this guy, then. Fuck!"
"Except that broken taillight..."
"What broken...?"
*SMASH*
"I like the way you think, amigo."
Her whole excuse of “For whatever reason, I was really torn and I thought it was my opportunity to put a voice to people who people don’t listen to,” Ms. Seltzer said. “I was in a position where at one point people said you should speak for us because nobody else is going to let us in to talk. Maybe it’s an ego thing — I don’t know. I just felt that there was good that I could do and there was no other way that someone would listen to it.”
makes me want to punch her in the face all the more. You exploited people, asshole. Along with "giving them a voice," did you give them your advance?
I would like people writing fiction to admit they are writing fiction. sounds like a good , well researched novel. I mean it had a built in marketing campaign - information gather from sources that had o be protected to stay safe. I have to admit, I am not a 'memoirs' reader, but I am even less likely to read one know,because if I want a true story - I can't trust that word anymore.
My stress ball exploded in my hands. I do hope that the internal squishy stress spooge isn't toxic or I might develop superpowers and have to assemble my own fantastic four team, and I think we all know that I'm not terribly invested in fighting crime.

Oooh! Which one do I get to be?
You could always go the super villain route instead.
