I read the headlines, and my first response was ---- WTF!!!!  Now some namby pamby Paris Hilton wanna bees are going too far!  This is just plane (pun intended) stupid!  Planes fly over head every day almost in every area of the US!  I grew up in the shadow of NAS, and we had those boom busters all the time!  It became a fact of life.  I guess if they had been on a bombing or strafing run, I would have been a bit concerned, but come on!  Diverting planes for an exam???? Get real!

Then I actually read the article.  Seems "we are not alone"!  For this is not in some hollywood suburb (or Manhattan high rise).  Nope!  It is not even Paris' relatives.

It is in China!  Yes, while their concerns are "understandable", their actions to protect their "lil charges" are a bit extreme.  Yet, in a move that should make all Americans' heart glad (at least for those who get the irony), China caved and diverted the planes for the 2 day test.

Bush may be lousy on Wars, and most of his policies, but it seems that NCLB is gaining some momentum in the international community!

Poor little babes!  Their concentration will suffer if they hear a plane!  Makes me beleive that while America may not rise to world domination, at least the rest of the world is going to sink to our pampering.
