It's Dassault Falcon 50EX, which I suspect quite similar to Dassault Falcon 7X Citi tried to buy with bailout money but backed off after firestorm of criticism.

Remember the line in Hitchcock’s masterpiece North by Northwest? One guy says, regarding the hero’s predicament:

“So horribly sad. How is it I feel like laughing”?

How about we get someone in Congress to propose a TAX!

A TAX on NEWSPRINT!

Whereas the production of newspapers causes trees to be cut down, hauled by polluting trucks to polluting paper mills, and hauled from paper mills to publishers and

Whereas the production of newspapers requires toxic ink and solvents and energy wasting machinery and

Whereas the distribution of newspapers requires the use of dirty internal combustion engines and

Whereas a large portion of every landfill is used for discarded newspapers

Therefore:
Be it resolved that a Newsprint tax, of $1,000.00 per pound, be charged to EVERY newspaper with a daily subscription, within the United States!
________________________________________
We should get some Republican to propose THIS as an amendment to any “cap and trade” or “carbon tax” proposal that comes up!
Maybe we can make it like “Cap and Trade” and use the revenue generated, from this tax on dirty dinosaur newspapers subsidize a tax credit for home computers and digital devices?

Yesterday, the struggling publisher disclosed that it had put its 12-year-old corporate jet on the market.

And tomorrow will be buying a bigger and newer jet.

Not a good time for selling luxury jets. I’m heartbroken.

Why did the NYT need a corporate jet?

Seriously. One can at least partially rationalize a large auto manufacturer, with plants all over the world, needing a corporate jet.

Or a major bank, with facilities and branches dispersed widely.

But a newspaper?

I can’t figure out why these people don’t see the error of their ways and start doing some real reporting against instead of being nothing but conduits for ultra liberals. You’d think the desire to stay in business and make a profit would be enough incentive for them to do a better job.

Start covering stories from a centrist or right point of view and readership would increase. but the NYT would rather commit suicide.
