Things that struck me today
Recently, Fox News debuted north of the 49th. I didn't get around to seeing any of it until today. When I did watch it, the following came to mind:
(a) Colonel Oliver North is one of their Military Affairs correspondents. I guess fair and balanced reporting is another neat idea.
(b) If you're going to have a no-fly list (not that I necessarily think it's a good idea, or an idea that's particularly well-executed to begin with), shouldn't the purpose of said no-fly list be that the people on it not be allowed to fly? Isn't forcing the landing of a plane carrying someone whose name matches a name on said list kind of like closing the barn door? Shouldn't you double check to make sure they're not the person you don't want flying before the plane takes off? I mean, if you're even bothering with that to begin with?
