Now that's what I call reality TV
Can you believe this airplane thing in California? As I write this, the plane still hasn't landed, so I don't know what is going to happen.
But, on CNN, Larry King is losing it. He's trying to juggle this story, that evil whore Hurricane Rita, and a tornado in Minneapolis. They put him on with the CNN meteorologist, and he asked her for a report, but to make it quick, "because we have this plane thing." I literally laughed out loud. That was pretty flip of Larry, don't you think? It'd be like, "Hurry up, we've got this terrorism thing." Oh, you had to be there.
On the other hand, apparently JetBlue planes have satellite TV, which get CNN. So, theoretically, all the people on the plane are watching themselves on CNN. How metaphysical is that? All I know is, were I on that plane, I would be crapping myself. I'd also say screw it to that no cellphone rule, and start making phone calls!
Update: they landed safely. Great job by the pilot. That is why I am not scared to fly.
