    What's a small town guy doing in the big city?

    Oh, and that better be one helluva photo.

    Why not? A year ago it would have been Bush's fault.

    Five months ago this would have been blamed on the president.

    EDIT: Damn you, AQB!!!! :D

    I think it was Cheney, and had something to do with Haliburton.

    Mike Bloomberg can grandstand with the best of them. This still made me laugh, though, because I could hear the words in his whiny Massachusetts voice and dripping with a sarcastic edge: "The good news is it was nothing more than an ill considered, badly conceived, insensitive photo op - with the taxpayers' money."

    I thought this read "Flu causes panic in NYC," so I stole 360 cases of Tamiflu.

    you owe me, 21.

    So what are the pictures for? I hope it was worth the hysteria it created.

    This would make a great cartoon. Obama and pint sized Tim Geitner in the captain and first officers seats - cargo door open - millions of dollars being dropped to wall st.

    And just wait until they get the cost of jet fuel added in. If this was for a movie that was pumping money into the NYC economy I wouldn't have a problem with it. I still don't know why they didn't publicize it.

    UF would have used a United plane instead.

    Is it grandstanding if you're 100 percent right?
