Things That Make You Go “Hmmm…”

So I’m reading this puff piece about high-end videoconferencing when I come across this list of the serious problems with air travel:

“The endless problems at airports these days — whether it’s bad weather, maintenance delays, crowded cabins or security lines — make alternatives to travel more attractive,” said Gary Foley, the manager of global conferencing and travel services at Xerox who oversees some 19,000 employees who take business trips.

There’s something missing from this list. Can you guess what it might be?

That’s right! Terrorism! We have all these Republicans playing the 9/11 card all the time, scaring the bejesus out of the rubes – I’m sorry, I meant to say, their base – about how the terrorist-islamo-libero-fascist-brown-Democrat-people are gonna kill us all, no question about it.

OTOH, business-folks, who do the bulk of the flying, seem more worried about crowded cabins than Al Qaeda.

Hmmm….
