Is there anything else happening in the world?

Besides the plane "crash" Hudson landing? Sheesh. You can almost forget we have two wars going on, confirmation hearings on a new President's cabinet and people freezing to death because they can't afford heating oil.

1. Word.

2. Yes but this is a moment that Union workers

their supporters, and city and state workers should not only celebrate, but should also be discussing to highlight the importance of skilled, competent professionals as well as the importance and value of government.

Sadly we on the left often squander these opportunities.
I agree with you that the media are missing the point here as usual, but there is no reason for us to do the same.

3. You must be watching television. Do yourself a favor and turn it off.

Here at DU, it's clear that other things are happening. Feel free to jump on any of the dozens of threads initiated in the past hour that have nothing to do with airplanes.

4. Sorry ....

that we got off of what YOU consider important.

Seriously...what a troll post. Should we do nothing but focus on the horrors of the world or will you allow us some respite from time to time??

I mean, you forgot the cholera epidemic in Africa, child killings in Indonesia, starvation in parts of China, multiple other wars raging - what else am I missing?

My god...we are such a bunch of heartless bastards....
