Week in Review - “Aggravation and Drinking”

Scooteroi sums up the week in review in a post titled Aggravation and Drinking.  A couple items Scooter reviewed.  First, a graduation story.

- I caught a little bit of a story about a school that graduated a class with 30 valedictorians and it wasn’t because the quality of education was so good that the class had 30 students with a 4.0 GPA. They just didn’t want to have kids feel bad, so they took the top 30, which sort of defeats the whole valedictory idea.

This goes along with the current (and idiotic) idea that we can’t have winners and losers in society…which is one of the stupidest things I have heard of. What’s next, not keeping score during the super bowl or having all the drivers in a NASCAR race go to the winners circle?

Second, the Elena Kagan hearings.

- Then there’s the whole Elena Kagan thing. Yes, she has a good sense of humor. No, she shouldn’t be allowed to choose her wardrobe. And no, she has no business whatsoever being anywhere near the Supreme Court, let alone on it.

I have an idea. I want to fly Boeing 777’s for American Airlines. I’ve read about flying. I know all about lift, drag, weight and all that. I have accrued a jillion miles as a passenger on jets. I even read an article on how to land a plane if the pilot dies. I’m all set.

So, how about that job?

That’s the equivalent to putting Kagan on the high court.

I know it’s early, but, bourbon anyone?
