OWF, take it easy and be safe!

Carolinamom, I finally FEEL like a real patriot- I got one of those flags for my car windows!!! I am SOOOO thrilled. It flies proudly as my W sticker is displayed in my rear window (where it's been since November 8th, 2000).

misunderestimate = to mistakenly underestimate. I think I'll suggest it over at Word For The Day.

Actually, it's all a part of the strategery, you know.

"He led the mourning, and now he'll lead the storming. A truly inspiring leader indeed!"

Best line I have heard in a while....PERFECT :-)

He was given a copy of the Holy Koran by Islamic leaders. I'm willing to bet he'll start reading it soon. Either he will, or Laura will!

FYI The people with the Turbans are Indian Sikh's not Arabic Muslims. They are represent completely different race and religion than Osama bin laden.

Best bit of flying advice I've heard yet. Heard it on Paul Harvey (and verified at www.snopes.com):

This was from a 9/15 flight from Denver to Dulles...

The pilot/captain came on the loudspeaker after the doors were closed. His speech went like this:

"First I want to thank you for being brave enough to fly today. The doors are now closed and we have no help from the outside for any problems that might occur inside this plane. As you could tell when you checked in, the government has made some changes to increase security in the airports. They have not, however, made any rules about what happens after those doors close. Until they do that, we have made our own rules and I want to share them with you.

Once those doors close, we only have each other. The security has taken care of a threat like guns with all of the increased scanning, etc. Then we have the supposed bomb. If you have a bomb, there is no need to tell me about it, or anyone else on this plane; you are already in control. So, for this flight, there are no bombs that exist on this plane.

Now, the threats that are left are things like plastics, wood, knives, and other weapons that can be made or things like that which can be used as weapons.

Here is our plan and our rules. If someone or several people stand up and say they are hijacking this plane, I want you all to stand up together. Then take whatever you have available to you and throw it at them. Throw it at their faces and heads so they will have to raise their hands to protect themselves.

The very best protection you have against knives are the pillows and blankets. Whoever is close to these people should then try to get a blanket over their head -- then they won't be able to see. Once that is done, get them down and keep them there. Do not let them up. I will then land the plane at the closest place and we WILL take care of them. After all, there are usually only a few of them and we are 200+ strong! We will not allow them to take over this plane.

I find it interesting that the US Constitution begins with the words "We, the people" -- that's who we are, THE people and we will not be defeated."

With that, the passengers on the plane all began to applaud, people had tears in their eyes, and we began the trip toward the runway.

The flight attendant then began the safety speech. One of the things she said is that we are all so busy and live our lives at such a fast pace. She asked that everyone turn to their neighbors on either side and introduce themselves, tell each other something about your families and children, show pictures, whatever. She said "for today, we consider you family. We will treat you as such and ask that you do the same with us."

Throughout the flight we learned that for the crew, this was their first flight since Tuesday's tragedies. It was a day that everyone leaned on each other and together everyone was stronger than any one person alone. It was quite an experience.

You can imagine the feeling when that plane touched down at Dulles and we heard "welcome to Washington Dulles Airport, where the local time is 5:40". Again, the cabin was filled with applause.

Thank you, MJY!! I feel the same way about the safety of the airlines right now. I figure I'm doing my patriotic duty by getting on that plane!

And I'm sure to have a good time with my kids!

AMEN....Brother, We can whip these scrawney little terrorist at their own game, Just to bad the pilot couldn't slowly decompress the cabin, so the passengers could become Judge & Jury and throw the terrorist out of the plane. YOU GOTTA LOVE IT. WEEEEEE DOGGGGIE, That's my kind of pilot

"Fine bunch of patriots and Dubya supporters here :-)"

I've noticed! What a wonderful thing—to celebrate our country and our President. God bless America!

And thank you for the welcome—it has been very warm and very friendly. What a phenomenal group of people!

Will certainly keep your safety in my prayers. Enjoy visiting your kids. Please give us a report on airline safety when you return. BTW leave your nail clippers at home.

to picture in post 11 that picture hanging on the wall, it looks like the one titled, " A Charge to Keep." Remember the one on the back of his hardcover book?

Correct, micronaut. There is a large Sihk population in India (and Pakistan), where they commonly come up against Hindu and Isalmic people.

Many thanks for your dedication to providing the daily dose. It is so good to see our President laughing again and to know that his fabulous sense of humor is still working despite the terrible burden he has carried since the terrorist atrocities were committed on 9-11!

You can't lose if you have your picture taken with a dog. If there are more than one dog you double your winnings. Thanks for the pics rintense.

"rintense" is our "Republican Warrior Princess" who makes this thread possible most every day, and she should be recognized by Dubya as his best fan & supporter in the Country, She has been posting pics like this a long time now. Dubya owes her a handshake and a hug. (might kill off lawgirl though)...LOL
