Somebody named Juliana Smoot keeps writing to me. She seems to think I would find it totally awesome to have my name on a stock car called “Powered by the American People.” So awesome that I’d pay $5 for the honor. It’s something to do with “Charlotte in 2012,” which I’m guess is the Democratic convention. Today is my “last chance,” so hopefully she’ll leave me alone now.
So, you’ve probably heard of Steve Rothstein, who bought a “golden ticket” from American Airlines in 1987 that gave him unlimited air mileage. He spent $250,000 for it, and another $150,000 for a “companion” ticket (‘cuz who wants to fly alone?). Well, it appears that it wasn’t actually “unlimited” after all, and AA has cut him off (accusing him of “fraud” for booking companion seats in fake names when he wasn’t yet certain who his companion would be – which sounds like bullshit to me).
This reminds me of a trip to NYC I took once, where we went to a Brew-n-Burger. They had a deal, where you could get a burger and all-you-can drink pitcher of beer. Turns out, it was only all you can drink if you could only drink two pitchers. I felt rather robbed on that one. Plus the burger sucked.
This was a terribly short weekend. Nice weather, at least, but two days just aren’t enough. I need a nap.
Maron alert (if anyone cares)
Pierce Morgan :omg: tonight
(looks like he’ll be following Michael Jackson’s mom trying to cash in every last dime on Michael’s ‘art’)
and then Conan on Wednesday
Wrong about pierce morgam
Screw AA. I have a claim in for a large second/third degree burn on my inner thigh from hot tea water. (Forgive me if I’ve mentioned it before.) Damn H2O burned through my jeans causing my flesh to peal like a peach. AA filed bankruptcy :bf: . Airlines should put lids on hot beverages. I mean, my incident happened with no provocation. The cup just slid off the darn tray table spilling in my lap. What happens if you hit turbulence, which is kind of a regular thing while zipping through the air? A child could be disfigured by such water. I still sport a scar.
:fire:
Some really great photos of Zena, Palemale and the 3 chicks.

At the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia a family of redtails lost the father. Amazingly, another young male redtail has joined the family and has become a stepdad, something that has not been observed before. Here are photos and blog:
