Ramble on

Okay, first off...Capt. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger is not a hero. You heard me. He is not a hero. Is is a DAMN GOOD pilot. An excellent pilot who was doing his job. He didn't freak out or panic or freeze or do anything stupid. He did his job. Those passengers better count their lucky stars that he was flying that plane, but he is not a hero. A hero would have been a passenger that took command of the plane and did the same exact thing Sully did. Capt Sullenberger deserves a medal or an award or some other type of accolade, but quit calling him a hero. That was his blinking job and he did it.

Secondly, I am sick, absolutely sick of memorial tributes stuck on car windows and makeshift altars on the side of the road. That is what obituaries, funerals, gravesites and mausoleums are for. Especially if the person who died did something stupid (drunk driving or extreme sports) or died of old age. C'mon! Old people die! Get over it. And people who do stupid stunts and stuff for adrenaline highs got it coming. They don't deserve a tribute any more than I need another french fry. That being said, people who are devastated over the loss of a YOUNG child, a drunk driving VICTIM or a casuality of something EXTRAORDINARY, then maybe, just maybe, they could grace their car with the appropriate memento. Or even a body tattoo. That is cool. That stuff cluttering, littering, the side of the road is just stupid. Those crosses you see in Mexico are from actual grave markers. The poor sucker was buried where he died because they had no other resources to get his poor butt home.

Lastly, all the fools who voted for Obama.....well, nevermind....
