• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Miracle on the Hudson

Lost in Texas
Not to take anything away from the brave crew of Flight 1549, I thought this was a good picture by editorial cartoonist Rex Babin of the Sacramento Bee.
 
Nice!

I got an email a couple of days ago that dovetails with this.

Mysterious Ways of the Lord

I never thought I would enjoy watching the news about an
airplane crash. But the Lord works in mysterious ways,
and with a sense of humor!

First: No one died!


Second: The passengers standing on the wing appeared
to be walking on water!

Third: It removed Obama from the headlines for 24 hours!

Fourth: No one in the government could take credit for
the miracle!

and

Fifth: It wasn't George Bush's fault!

Hehehe sorry for the partial hijack
 
Boomer, you're getting too political with that one. Please don't make another post like that one. If you want to get political take it to the Quarter Moon Saloon (Oso's).
 
I thought I'd inject a little humor at this point...... (I know that might be considered unusual for me!).

In the wake of the recent Hudson River incident, the FAA is implementing new anti-bird measures for all airliners.

So we're not allowed to get political, but we can bring in religion? At politics aren't made up!!:173go1:

just kidding though, good thread!!
 
Even as a non-religious person (or maybe because of it?) I very much liked the captain’s response to some reporter’s question “did you pray?” He said, more or less, “no, I didn’t have time to pray, I was too busy [no, really?], but the folks in the back were taking care of that for all of us.”
