A true first world problem.

Yeah, the same. Get yourself a FFP3 mask and let everyone else crack on.

There was a flight in the USA recently, where you can take a pet on board if they are an "emotional support animal". A woman gets on the plane with her dog and another woman, who is already on the plane, tells the stewards that she is allergic to dogs.

Who do you think got kicked off?

Yes. That f***er should die a painful death just so that you don't have to suffer through the agony of being denied one particular snack treat during a flight lasting less than 3 hours.

To be honest, I'm surprised that airlines even bother with peanuts anymore.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

US Rep. Trent Franks (Republican) announced his resignation yesterday, preemptively in advance of something that is going to come out soon. It's a bit murky this one.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post and CNN have been working on an in-depth expose of sexual harassment in Washington. Their report is expected to drop fairly soon, and will "out" 20-30 elected officials.


Well, it seems that Trent Franks trawled his female staff members looking for a surrogate mother to whom he was willing to pay up to 5mm for her to carry his baby. While he wasn't specific about the process of impregnation - because his staff never got past the "f***, no!" stage of the conversation - Franks, being a stanch anti-choice luddite who doesn't believe in in vitro fertilization because it destroys embryos (at least he is consistent on this topic which is rare), was assumed to be intending the old fashioned way of getting up the duff. Anyway, he's gone.

...

Meanwhile, Al Franken gave a farewell speech to the Senate where he addressed the elephant in the room: the fact that he is leaving because of accusations that he doesn't necessarily accept, while Republicans are supporting a credibly-accused child molester for a Senate seat and defending a 19-time accused and self-admitted harasser-in-Chief.

Calls for the President to resign over this - while falling on entirely deaf ears, of course - are growing wider and louder.

They don't because of annoying customers with allergies. But they will now ask you not to consume your own snacks, in case they have any nut or nut traces in them.

Southwest Airlines over here, at least, still serves peanuts. I think European cut-price carriers make you pay to use the pisser, so I can't image them offering something as luxurious as free peanuts!

Where every flight starts with an auction to get some people off, as they've overbooked the flight.

Not quite that bad, well Pikeyair (Ryanair) might be but I refuse to fly with them. That was a 1 and done experience.

Three of Trump's 19 accusers held a press conference today, calling for Congress to investigate Trump's "history of sexual misconduct". [Link]

I don't know if this is something that's explained over there about how Congress works, but whichever party has the majority in either the chamber controls absolutely everything about that chamber's activities. They have the chairmanship and majority vote in every committee; they control what is brought to the floor and how; and, pertinently here, they control what the committees choose to investigate*.

Right now Republicans have the majority in both chambers, so they can chose to do, or not do, whatever they want. Therefore, it's going to be an interesting dynamic if Congress goes ahead an investigates Franken (and Moore, after he gets elected tomorrow) but not Trump.


* James Comey was Trump's choice to continue as head of the FBI (before firing him), and is a lifelong Republican. Robert Mueller - a lifelong Republican also - was appointed to be the Special Counsel investigating the Russian scandal by Rob Rosenstein, a lifelong Republican nominated to the Deputy AG position by Trump. The recent suggestion, that the Russia investigation is a partisan witch hunt is laughably bogus.

Southwest is actually pretty good in the overbooking department. Because they're a glorified bus service, there's usually another flight in an hour or so. Overbooking by United Airlines is way worse, because United is way worse than competitors in any given category.
