I KNEW IT.....UNITED STARTED THE FAT TAX

-
United Airlines the Chicago based carrier has decided to bump chubby, overweight, fat fliers if they have a full bird. I know it is hard to fly on a full aircraft and to complicate things, a full flight with a 6-1 260 lb guy such as myself beside you. I have been in the airline industry for years and flew on a sleugh of aircrafts. Flew on pipers, 727s 737s 777s 767s 757s a310 300 320 321 340 md 81 80 83 and many more, never had a problem. Within the past year airlines have begun charging for everything. They charge you for bags, for choosing your damn seats, for your hairstyle, and even the weather. Ever since the airlines start acting like the mob i predicted that very soon they will have a scale at the airport and you will pay per pound over 150lbs. That has not happened......yet. United's decision to start bumping these guys is the leading edge of what is sure to follow. I Wonder whats next, Dollar rent a car charging a suspension and shock absorber fee for renters over Paris Hilton's weight.

Vamos A Cuba

-
WASHINGTON — In a measured break with a half-century of U.S. policy toward communist Cuba, the Obama administration lifted restrictions Monday on Cuban-Americans who want to travel and send money to their island homeland. In a further gesture of openness, U.S. telecommunications firms were freed to seek business there, too. But the broader U.S. trade embargo remained in place. The White House portrayed its changes, which fulfilled one of President Barack Obama's campaign promises, as a path to promoting personal freedom in one of the few remaining communist nations. They also marked another major step away from the foreign policy priorities of the Bush administration. But the moves fell far short of the more drastic policy adjustments that some _ including Republican Sen. Richard Lugar _ have argued are required to promote U.S. interests in Latin America and to bring about change in Cuba. For most Americans, Cuba remains the only country in the world their government prohibits them...
