Would I Pay Extra to Fly Baby Free? You betchya I would!

I would be willing to pay a hundred dollars extra to sit in an area of an airplane guaranteed to be minus the crying, screaming, kicking the seat snot nosed brats for a long flight…hell, now that I think about it, I would pay that much for a 45 minute jump.

There was speculation that the airline WestJet, based out of Canada was considering a 10-dollar fee for people who wanted to sit in a section without infants. Why limit it to infants? Some of the 4 and 5 year-old, even 8-year-old kids are just as bad!

The airline says the rumor is false and claims they would never even consider a notion so ridiculous to offer to their customers.

I say they should run with it. It could put their business over the top. I fly often and am willing to bet, others who are frequent fliers would also love to have that option.

While we’re on the subject, I would be willing to pay extra in restaurants as well to get away from the screaming rug rats. They could use all those old smoking sections and put all the little diaper pants in there. This is why I usually sit at the bar; you have to be an adult to get in there.

Then again some of those folks are more obnoxious than the kids.

New Children’s Worship Book about Barack Obama

Isn’t this just grand! A Barack Obama supporter and children’s book author Garen Thomas has wrote a children’s book about Obama. The book entitled Yes We Can: A Biography of Barack Obama is targeted at the 9-12 year old crowd, because it is never to early to teach our kids about the “great one.”

Meghan Cox Gurdon reviewed the book for the Wall Street Journal. She called the book more of a hagiography than a biography. A hagio-what? I wasn’t sure what it meant either so I looked it up. The definition of hagiography would be “the writing and critical study of the lives of the saints.” Well, that makes sense, after all we are talking about the “messiah our lord” Barack Obama.

In her review, Gurdon lays out some shocking revelations of what you will find in the book. For instance, Author Thomas writes: “There has emerged a new leader who seems to be granting Americans a renewed license to dream.” Isn’t that awesome kids! Why thanks to Obama you are now free…free at last to dream again! Apparently, your license to dream had been revoked or suspended…who knew?

Thomas also proclaims in her book of worship that Obama “reminded Americans that what was keeping everyone down was the fact that workers were losing their jobs to people in other countries, because American businesses wanted to pay less for labor. In addition, people running businesses were in the habit of paying themselves a lot, while leaving ordinary Americans behind, scraping to get by.” Later in the children’s book she writes, “All Americans were struggling and worried about their financial futures.”

Now that is some indoctrinating stuff don’t you think? A classic example of wealth envy…it is never to early to teach the children that it is the “big bad evil rich American businessman” keeping everyone else down, because they want to pay themselves a lot and leave ordinary Americans scraping to get by. This is nothing less than an anti-capitalist drive by on your children written by an Obama worshiper.

Has anyone come to think that it is the so-called “big bad evil rich American businessman” providing jobs for the so-called “ordinary Americans.” How many jobs has the government taxed out of America and forced the businessman to send overseas because it is no longer cost effective to hire the American worker?

How many of you ever got a job from a poor man? Anyone?

Anyways, now that I think about it, this is a great idea to write a children’s book about Obama. Now the majority of his worshipers and cult followers have a book they can actually read and understand.
