News Snippets

Here are some news snippets that caught my ear this morning as I was listening to Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton this morning on WFAN. I have to admit I am enjoying listening to them in the morning

Nuclear Bomb loaded on B-52 (not Kate Pierson) and flown across US. The Secretary of Defense "Robert Gates was informed of the incident early Friday and has been receiving daily progress reports". What the sound bite and story failed to mention was what they are doing to prevent this type incident from happening again. Very scary! (Though I know accidents will happen.)

Searchers for this Steve Fossett guy in Nevada, said they thought they might have found his crash site, but it wound up being an older undocumented crash. “We were all so disappointed it was not him” Well, what about the family of the pilot whose remains were presumably found in this old crash site? You think they are also disappointed? Also, who is this guy, and why is so much time, effort and money being spent to find him? Who is ultimately going to wind up paying for this search and rescue effort? Somehow I bet the US taxpayers will wind up footing this bill.
