If you were not turned off to organized religion in this country before, this should pretty much send you over the edge.

I cannot believe these idiots agreed to appear on television like this.

If I were a member of any of their churches the next time they passed around the collection plate I would put in an IOU saying "Once you start spending our money on something besides making yourself feel like God's personal pimp I might start giving you some of the money I use to feed my children."

Now this makes me WANT to go flying. And I hate flying!

Living in Alaska means that every vacation or business trip I have ever gone on always involved an incredibly long and uncomfortable airplane trip out of the state.

I have no problem with the flying itself, but I HATE being cramped into one of those tiny ass airplane seats.  I am not all that tall, nor am I particularly large (Though my shoulders tend to invade the space of the person sitting next to me), however I constantly feel cramped and claustrophobic during these long plane trips.

For that reason it usually takes a rather significant vacation destination or event to get me out of Alaska these days. (The last one was Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Reason.)

However if I could fly while sitting in these luxurious seats on Virgin Atlantic, I think I would spend my days thinking up new and different places to go.

I mean seriously, on Alaska Air all you get are stale peanuts and a coke. If you're lucky.
