It's that time of year again: Our betters are in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum annual meeting, devising ways to tell us what to drive, eat, and cook with. All manner of bigwigs are in attendance, including our own Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.
Unfortunately, Blinken's plans to return to the U.S. hit some turbulence: It seems the Boeing 737 he was set to take back to the homeland has sprung a leak. I'm not sure exactly what that's a metaphor for, but surely, it's something.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was unable to fly home from Davos as scheduled on Wednesday, after an issue with his government-owned Boeing plane forced a change of plans.
After boarding the modified military Boeing 737, Blinken and his entourage were informed that a previously detected oxygen leak could not be remedied, rendering the jet unsafe to fly, Bloomberg reported.

Love it. In fact I hope he stays there for the entire year.
Another bad mark for Boeing though....

Nah, that’s an excuse. The truth is the prostitute he hired has a 2 night minimum.

I’m sure there are many prostitutes he can find to pass the time.

What really happened was Biden got behind Boeing’s pilot
controls, reassuring Blinken he was a Kamikaze pilot in WW 1.

Speaking of Biden why isn’t he over there? President Melei of Argentina was there and gave the “Masters of the Universe” an earful.

Apparently this is an older plane modified for military purposes.

It took the Biden Administration to somehow turn the world’s most reliable, dependable, and safe, airplane into a nightmare.
