the show by ze frank sums up quite nicely what's going on in the world today. Well, almost three weeks ago.

I had meant to post this back then, but then I got sidetracked by the details of what you can and can't do to travel. You know, that whole "remove all liquids" before you get on the plane thing? I can't help but wonder if the TSA is trying to help the airlines out a little bit here:
a) if you have to buy a drink on the plane, then that's a little extra money that they get to keep
b) if you don't bring beverages on board, then maybe the plane will have just a couple gallons more fuel when it lands - again, giving them a little change in their pockets.

I'm not saying that it's the case - although it could be - it just seems a little severe to say "Hey, you can't bring that bottle of (insert liquid refreshment product here) on the plane because of 'The Terrorists'". Whatever.

All I'm saying is that it would be much easier if they sedated you when you got on the plane and woke you back up when you got there. They could pack more people on the planes and quite honestly, I think it would be a bit more fun if I knew I'd be getting decent sleep out of the deal. But that's just me.
