What with this horrible airline crash just a few miles from my house, I don't much feel like being funny today. I'll be funny again tomorrow.

When the Oklahoma bombing happened, I was listening to the radio, and on the Z-100 Morning Zoo, they were having people call in regarding whether the boarders should be closed. It was extraordinary, the viciousness and prejudice people displayed when they thought it was okay to hate foreigners. They pretty much said "Foreigners are smelly and they eat dogs and they disgust us!" Then, when it turned out that a true-blue American had done it, they shut up real fast. I guess they'll think that this horrible tragedy is an excuse to spew that venom again.

I think that about the worst thing I saw having to do with the crash was when the news was talking to someone who claimed to be with the Coast Guard, and then he started babbling about Howard Stern.

I guess only a Howard Stern fan would be that hard-hearted and soft-headed.

I was talking to my mother last night about the crash, and she told me that when her mother died, thirty-some odd years ago, and she had to fly back to Belgium for the funeral, she took that exact flight; TWA's 7p flight to Paris.
