"am... hopeful fuel will become a reasonable expenditure again and maybe we can get back to some semblance of civility in the skies." Good thing he quit. These are the good old daze. "If kindness and comfort are, as I suspect, the results of an energy surplus, then, as the supply contracts, we could be expected to start fighting once again like cats in a sack." - George Monbiot

A "jetblue election" is what this author says. This guy gave this airline real publicity. ============================= Poll: Public frustrated at Congress, political parties NBC News updated 43 minutes ago -WASHINGTON — To borrow the famous line from the 1976 film "Network," Americans are mad as hell at Washington — and they’re not going to take it anymore. That, at least, is the conclusion from the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, which finds: •that less than half the country approves of President Obama's job; •that the percentage believing the current Congress is either below average or among the worst is at an all-time high; •that the number viewing the Republican Party favorably is at an all-time low; •and that the Democratic Party doesn’t fare much better. What's more, nearly six in 10 respondents still say the country is headed in the wrong direction, and almost two-thirds think that the U.S. economy has yet to hit rock-bottom. And it's unlikely those attitudes will change before the midterm elections that will take place less than three months from now. "I think it’s a ‘Jet Blue’ election. Everyone is frustrated," says Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted the survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff. "And everyone is headed for the emergency exit." msnbc.msn.com
