you named 3 out of hundreds of millions. wouldnt say that qualifies as ALOT. that small of a percentage isnt even worthy of a stereotype. thats just dumb.

I swear, everytime I'm down at B22 at ORD and walk up to the Mcdonalds by B8...I see the Tribune and Chicago Scum-Times in the machines with some scandall on the front page about some public "servant" in hot water over bilking money from the system.

I don't know who Benny Hinn is and I'm not a fan of Pat Robertson, but Joel Osteen seems like a pretty decent guy to me and I've never heard/read anything that suggests he's doing anything underhanded.

They probably are! All good politicians use religion so it takes longer for people to realize what scum they really are

His wife assaulted a flight attendant while flying in "first class". You know how those spoiled rich texas folk get when they don't get their way!

You're probably right. Burns less than half of what those 145s burn and seat 24 more pax (not so bad with the price of oil these days, heck even taking some flying out of IAD from you boys. on the flip side, we can also bid across equipment from Saabs-Q's-CRJ 2-900 not too bad for those with SJS here.

Those of us who can't, appreciate the cross-bidding. :)
