Yeah.. Heaven forbid we should have proper facilities to keep ice from causing airplane crashes... or runways too short for the service "needed" by a community... Or a control tower so that the controllers can actually see the traffic they are supposed to be monitoring. But it is just fine & dandy for nancy pelosi biyatch to fly around on a shiny taxpayer funded 757...
