Another view of the crash. But no photos.

Well, just as the Bush administration has crashed our confidence, our economy and our hopes for the future, a jet full of 155 Americans crashes into the Hudson in the last days of the worst 8 years of presidency ever. In an Herculean effort, by the Coast Guard, police, fire, tugs, ferries, the pilot, and just plain private citizens, all 155 were saved.

The symbolism and the irony of it all:

The crashed plane = the United States of America as Bush will leave it.

The floating fusilage = America's determination not to sink.

The rescue efforts = The determination of the American Spirit.

Captain Sullenberg = President Elect Obama leading/saving a determined nation.

Only 2 broken legs = The condition of our broken but not dead country.

No deaths = Not just luck, HOPE for the future.

I can't wait for January 20.

That's a stretch.

And, how is that irony?

i⋅ro⋅ny 
–noun, plural -nies.
1. the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
2. Literature.
a. a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated.
b. (esp. in contemporary writing) a manner of organizing a work so as to give full expression to contradictory or complementary impulses, attitudes, etc., esp. as a means of indicating detachment from a subject, theme, or emotion.



Let's just let the joyful news of the survival of all passengers, and the heroic efforts of all involved be what it is. And not try to insert politics into it.

You know what I think about all this? I think disasters are just going to end better now that Bush is gone.

What shall we do with this news report? What does the mud represent? The obstacles?

NEW YORK – Thick mud, menacing currents and bone-chilling temperatures stymied investigators Friday as they scoured the Hudson River for the two missing engines from a US Airways jetliner that crash-landed in the water after colliding with birds. The investigation ran into a series of obstacles one day after the pilot ditched the plane carrying 155 people.

Namo, that's a good thing to think. I like happier endings.

What about the cold? Doesn't that represent Alaska, which represents Sarah Palin who has nothing to do with the next 4 years (thank goodness)? Stretch that into the analogy, please.

That's right Miss Addy! Don't leave your house until the deed is done (unless you have theatre tickets)!

Oh for craps sake.

How does anything thinking person believe that any administration has the ability to crash one's confidence, economy, or hopes for the future? Look to yourself and not outside influences.

It's necessary to cultivate one’s own garden.
Rest in peace, Iflitifloat.

You ask this in a world fueled by religion?

I'm just surprised that someone hasn't claimed divine intervention.
