On my way to lunch today I’ve finally got a grasp of why my entire block of Wabash Avenue has been destroyed for the past 8 months… Fort Wabash.
Like most of you I thought ‘Indian Raids‘ were a thing of the past in downtown Chicago. Obviously we were wrong. Soon enough the intersection of Wabash & Harrison will never again fall prey to indian attack.
Ok Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger you’ve had your moment in the sun now go back to flying. America’s had a little too much ‘Sully’ stuffed down their collective throats over the last month. Be it the Inauguration of Barack Obama, the Super Bowl coin toss, or the 60 Minutes interview we’re good now. We’ve had our share.
What Sully acomplished was pretty amazing but no more amazing than the ANONYMOUS pilot of JetBlue Flight 292 in 2005. He managed to land a plane with a broken front landing gear that was in flames while the all the passengers watched live on TV. Sure Sully managed to land a plane in a river in the middle day on a cold day. Awesome. But I don’t think he should be doing everything short of Dancing with the Stars to promote his awesomeness.
Meanwhile the captain of Flight 292 just keeps plugging along up there in the friendly sky’s defining gravity like it’s his job.
You have to admit that at least former Vice President Dick Cheney played the part well. When you’re considered the quintessential bad guy you damn well better be wearing a Black Hat. Cheney sure didn’t disappoint by wearing one to the Inauguration and he had a cane. What are the odds the cane had one of those retractable blades in it?.
It’s good to see everyone is playing their part today.
