Tarmac Delays Limited: Government Imposes 3-Hour Limit

Tarmac Delays Limited: Government Imposes 3-Hour Limit

Commented Dec 21, 2009 at 13:15:17 in Business

“Truly we live in an age of wonders!
With toay's ruling,
NOW consumers have the luxury of only three (3) hours of waiting on the tarmac,
and only two (2) hours without food, water, or toilet.

(cue piano, "Leavin on a Jet Plane")

All my bags are scanned / I'm ready to go /
Squeezed in a seat /between large /people I don't know /
Six hours ago had too much coffee / said goodbye,

We've been on the tarmac / the flight's delayed /
Coulda stayed in bed for all the progress I've made /
Shoulda tried a bus - - or Amtrak for my ride /

Don't feed me or water me / in fact you need not toilet me /
Treat me like I never have to go /
Cause I'm sittin on the tarmac /
Three hours and they can turn their back /
O babe / I gotta go.

Gates Crowley Beer Summit! Part Deux

“We welcome Professor Gates & Policeman Crowley having, as reported, an hour long meet in a Cambridge, MA watering hole. This is further validation of the wisdom of The Nobel Prize Committee's awarding The President a Nobel Peace Prize for engineering a truce in the longest running battle in America - town vs. gown.

As we reported at the time of Beer Summit I:

The Professor, Policeman, and President. Where else can a diverse clientele work out problems over brewskies. Intellectual Frasier Crane, opinionated but good hearted civil servant Cliffie Clavin, celebrity host, Sam Malone. Only 1 missing (Norm!). You may be well known but you're only really famous when...

To find your door is jammed /
And your oh so helpful next door neighbor /
Has decided to call the man/
Wouldn't you like to get away? /

Where everybody knows your name. /
And they're always glad you came. /
You wanna go where people know. /
Our troubles are all the same. /
But you're only "famous" when the Cambridge cops know your name!"

Love Client No. 9.
Love Potion No 9 Parody

He was the Gov’nor of the Empire State,
Valentine’s eve in DC with no date.

So to the Emperor’s Club he had to drop a dime,
Booked a date with Kristin for - Love Client No. 9.

He once crusaded against crime and graft,
But now unzipped, our hero feels a draft.
He prosecuted Staten Island hookers as well
But got himself in trouble in The Mayflower Hotel.

He paid for Kristin to take Amtrak from NYC,
Outsourcing business costing local talent their fee
4,000 bucks or more, for just 2 hours of her time,
Said he was short on cash, Amex is fine

The moral of this sordid tale be known,
On Valentine’s you shouldn't stray from home.
Trouble can happen, when events like this unfurl,
And bring together the two oldest. professions in the world.

That pic of Sasha makes me think of a Norman Rockwell print from another era of a little girl as cute, as young, but in a segregated America. A preacher shared "a dream" and how sweet it is that this little girl - and all of us - see the dream fulfilled.”

“Yes, that is an apt comparison. How lovely is it that now such a picture is not of a little black girl needing protection from racists as she attends school but of a little black girl who needs protection because she is the first daughter?”

“Wal-Mart Parody (Under the Boardwalk)

When I need a shovel or a brand new suit of clothes,
There is one-stop shopping in a place that everybody knows.
I shop at Wal-mart, to buy my teddys, tools, or tires.
At the snack bar with my baby that’s where I’ll be.

I go to Wal-Mart, for shoes and socks,
_____________, for watches and clocks,
_____________, for crackers and cheese,
_____________, for my BVDs,
_____________, Wal-Mart.

When the plant shut down, they moved production overseas,
I got a job in sales, I sell imported clothes and cheap TVs.
I work at Wal-Mart, where I sell cameras and VCRs,
If it ain’t made in China well that’s news to me.

I go to Wal-Mart, to buy a phone,
_____________, for a subprime loan,
_____________, for a new backpack,
_____________, for my Prozac,
_____________, Wal-Mart.

When I fell behind they took my credit cards and house away,
I searched in vain for a decent place for me my dog and wife to stay.
Now I live at Wal-Mart, between the housewares and sporting goods,
Cookin’ breakfast on the Coleman, is where I’ll be.

I live at Wal-Mart, seven twenty-four,
_____________, park right by the door,
_____________, got a photo place,
_____________, I wear a smiley face,
I live at Wal-Mart, Wal-mart!

I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Wherever Members are you know that I'm around
Republicans or Democrats to me they're all the same
I fund 'em I squeeze 'em, they pretend to know my name
They call me a LOBBYIST I’m a lobbyist
I roam around around around...

Charlie Rangle is the guy whose event I’m at tonight
When he asks me which one I love the best
I tear open my shirt and show FANNIE on my chest
'Cause I'm a lobbyist - yeah - a lobbyist
I roam around around around...

I got a sheepskin from Georgetown I go through life without a care
You’ll never see we wear a frown With my two fists of cash,
and earmarks to spare

I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place events all over town
And when I find myself wondrin what my life’s about
I hop right into my BEEMER, and I haven’t any doubt

Yeah I'm a lobbyist, yeah a lobbyist
I roam around around around...
