I would say this is a better strategy than billing passengers $15 for the first checked bag. But my understanding is that airlines make the most profit off business and first classes, so they might not want to pluck the goose that lays the golden egg.

Either way I can…

2.9% still isn't very good odds, especially considering the propensity of the police to label a case closed with the least amount of effort. Not recording "confessions" is a crime in itself in this day and age. But I don't expect things to change over night. Far better to avoid…

I guess I don't understand why they had to arrest him after he shot himself in the head.

Seems a bit silly to me. But as was said, think of the money saved on the trial.

sushisake, that was completely inappropriate. While I don't agree with most of Kennedy's policies at least he has a brain to operate on.

Attacking Myanmar Generals for the greed and wealth is irrelevant

Oh, I don't know about that. As somebody else already pointed out, you might want to check the history of the French Revolution before you start saying that comparative wealth isn't an issue. Pretty soon the generals are going to…

ouch, that pun hurts even over the web. But it's interesting to see that a gaijin holding company was able to smack down the Japanese management. That doesn't happen every day.

There's some truth behind the supply and demand arguement as China and India consume more oil. But the irony is that the US government is handing the oil companies billions in subsidies for "exploration" while the oil companies rake in record profits. This is the absolute farce of the senate…

I think the whole shirt should be the Rising Sun Naval Flag like Bogi's atavar. That would be a good way to cock a snook at the IOC and their pinheaded rules.

I doubt it would happen though.
