1. The people who complain the most about security checks
will be the same people who scream obscenities at Obama when there is another terrorist attack

24. I think not
in my sad world, Obama would be raked over the coals if another terrorist occurred - no matter WHAT he did or did not do - he certainly would not be given the pass bush got for three thousand deaths

28. I misread the post. You're both correct right. Duh on me.
I couldn't figure out what the problem was.

6. Who's promoting fascism here?
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 04:38 PM by MineralMan
Satire is satire. It promotes nothing but a giggle or two. I like giggles.

18. I am really confused about who like chuckles and who dislikes chuckles, here...


I suppose we could just say he is sensible.

:D

22. Oh, that chuckles. I was thinking of the laughter sort of chuckles.
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 04:38 PM by MineralMan
You've misunderstood me. Maybe I should have used the word "giggles" instead.

I've edited the post to prevent any further misunderstandings. Thanks for pointing that out.

26. Lighten up Francis! I was just trying to get a chuckle or two, also.
No need to change it.

8. When were those taken?
Looks like morning, when people are at work.

Most people travel in the evening on this day.

So.

I have no idea, you see. But you can look at the source of each of them.
Anyone can post any image they want. It's meaningless. Most of those photos aren't even from the USA. They're just photos of empty airports, which can be found easily enough. I can also find photos of crowded airports. It's a satirical post, you see. You may have missed the :sarcasm: smiley.

14. No? Google Empty Airport. There are hundreds and hundreds of
such photos. It's satire, you see. I thought I indicated that pretty clearly with the :sarcasm: smiley. Guess that isn't enough, sometimes.

20. Hmm...they all show up for me.
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 04:36 PM by MineralMan
I haven't heard any other complaints about missing images. Sorry. I'll go check in another browser.

Nope, they show up there, too.

23. Must be something on your end. Nobody else has mentioned that.
It's not that they're in my cache. I opened a different browser, and I could see them all there, too, and it uses a different cache.
