Yikes. I'm not flying tomorrow anyway, but sheesh. Makes me feel for those of you in the DC area and in the vicinity of Crawford, TX.

Yup, that's pretty much everywhere. Wait -- what about Kenosha?

Seems ALMOST disruptive?

Welcome to what those of us in the greater DC/PA/MD/NJ/NY area have been dealing with for a long time. It was terrible during the 2004 campaign.

..and what is our fearless leader doing in Montgomery, IL - that effectively grounds our favorite form of transportation while he does it?

Why, signing the new federal Transportation bill.

 

[SkyHog]

same thing here, Mike. Shuts down the entire city of Albuquerque, NM to sign an energy bill.

Not quite as ironic as yours, but frustrating all the same. I like the bill, but why not just sign it in DC?

Sigh.
