The Political Hack

The Political Hack - where it's at today, August 11, is in the embattled airline industry. From strike-ready attendants ready to spread C.H.A.O.S., to deadly-fanatical terrorists who fuel international chaos, why would anyone want to work at an airline, own airline stock, or in some way count on airlines for their livelihood? What was once a glamourous profession that promised good pay, travel benefits, and endless blue-skies has deteriorated into a low-budget / fresh from Chapter 11 / startup with low-paid support staff from an outsourced firm and confronted by another crazed bomber with a "mission" dispatched from a 3rd world ghetto. Enough already.

What does the US have to do? Working with the rest of the world (besides the UK) and establishing (or re-establishing) intelligence contacts (which whithered during Willie's terms in office), for one. Another is to stuff the ACLU in a box and let law enforcement practice crime prevention instead of crime investigation.
