I heart John Doe

For the record, that's every last one of them who has the good sense to report suspicious activity.

I could give them all a kiss on the lips.

Or, if that's too scary, I'd give them all fuzzy little kittens. I may have plenty of those, soon.

So far, there isn't much trouble going on around me, out here in the dingles (other than the stuff one usually gets in a swell little redneck burg). But I appreciate the folks who take care of my friends and family in faraway places. And I hope to all that is holy the Republicans in Congress get their acts together and pass some respectable protective legislation, so that nobody can be CAIR'd into poverty and ruin.

New heights of Chutzpah

Or, as Mom puts it, "Chhhhutzpah with a little extra phlegm": The flying imams are naming a number of "John Doe" passengers in their lawsuit against US Airways.

They're suing a handful of people for having the temerity to be openly unnerved by the deliberately provocative behavior of the imams. I believe if this suit is allowed to go forward, it will fall into the category of "twice raping the victims".

One of lgf's commenters had the right idea:

All Minesotans (of which I am one) should stand up and pronounce, "I am Sparticus"

And don't just stop with Minnesotans. Let every Midwesterner rise and say it. I was on that flight. I called in the cops. So. There.

And then we can tell them what they can do about Sharia cashiers at Target, too.

Non-flying Imams to sue US Airways

Via Power Line comes the news that the Imams who disrupted a flight out of Minneapolis this past winter are preparing to sue the airline for their inconvenience and for having been "racially profiled". Uh huh.

One of the commenters was going in what I think is the right direction:

Could the other passengers file a civil suit against the Imams claiming that their actions were a terrorist threat or a probe leading to one?

But somehow, I'm pretty sure that bird won't fly. There really isn't any proof of links to terrorism, other than the usual links to CAIR.

OTOH, maybe those same passengers could counter-sue the CAIR bears for deliberately creating the circumstances which caused them all (the other passengers) distress and which also delayed their travel.


At any rate, if I have to fly, this year, I do believe my first choice will be US Airways. They seem to be the company most serious about getting us there safely.
