With the first link the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

First of all, what is up with the formatting of that web site and story? I'm seeing two or three sentences on each page. How long is this story?


Then this: "took taxpayer-paid trips to visit families and vacation spots." I hope the rest of the piece explains that, because I thought they were paid to fly around.


Then this: "Managers at the Federal Air Marshal Service regularly made fun of blacks, Latinos and gays." OK, the racial stuff, I get. But making fun of "gays"? Maybe it's a regional difference, but most workplaces I've been in, people have "made fun of gays." Sometimes to their faces. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but I would like to know what makes it news-worthy.

Beat me to it!

Two lines of undocumented small print does not a credible story make.

It has multiple pages, but the ones I saw were all just two or three sentences each. Very odd.

Regarding the sleeping FAM: last I heard, that isn't a problem so long as one of them is awake.

As to the racial and gay jokes, make those guys to cultural-sensitivity training on a day off.
