Washington Post ^ | December 13, 2005 | Robin (Crybaby) Wright

Posted on 12/13/2005 12:04:31 PM PST by PJ-Comix

Imagine this: You're about to set off with the secretary of state for Central Asia, a destination halfway around the world, on two back-to-back seven-hour flights in a packed 757 -- and the first meal served is a teeming bowl of pork and beans.

I have always wondered why we have to haul their butts anyway. They should have to "Fly the Friendly Skies" like we do and pay for it and go through security.

I just found my next set of letters to my Congressman, Senators and President. Ban the press from government transports. They are always preaching separation but are the first to leech.

I'm the same way about Sloppy Joes. I mean I CAN'T STAND Sloppy Joes. The thought of eating them makes me sick. It was so bad for me that I couldn't wait until the final bell rang just to get away from that Sloppy Joe smell that permeated the entire school all day.

Especially if washed down by a couple of beers! I love pork and beans, but no one loves me 2 hours after I eat them!

Remember the stale bleach smell too. I went into one of the restrooms at my kindergartener's school the other day and suffered deja vu when I inhaled.

"Nah, you'd just be riding in Air Force 5 which is an old horsa glider towed behind a Cessna 152 with an oil leak."

I had one of the last rides on one of these...

...the troop pod was essentially a leaky trailer that attached to the skycrane with a few loose nuts and bolts. I'm not sure where it fit into the pecking order, but it must've been about Air Force (Army, actually)47,832. They ought to dust of the mothballs and loan it to the journalists...

We had our daughter and new son in law over for dinner the first time. After the meal I asked Cody how he liked the food. His response- "Makes good poop!"

I'm hoping Cody was not your son in law.

"To this day I still can't bear the sight nor the smell of Sloppy Joes."

I would have loved a Sloppy Joe! My school fed us the most God-awful concoctions! The worst was hot sweet rice with raisins! I still get queesy thinking about it!

Quick!!! Someone call a WAAAAAAAAmbulance!

If I were in charge, reporters wouldn't be fed at all. They want to eat, they should brownbag it.

Shoot, at MY school, the Sloppy Joes were the only edible things on the menu.

Love the CH-54.
I contracted one to life four large AC units onto a Georgia factory back in 1998. Very cool to watch, but I'd never fly in one.

My service saw OH-58s, UH-1s and UH-60s.

State Department Pukes and Journalistic Whiners - To quote Spiro T. Agnew, those..."effete corps of impudent snobs" and "nattering nabobs of negativism," respectively.
