Why do you have a problem with him saying he sees no problem with a lady giving birth on a plane.  I knew somebody that was born on a plane.

 

Its all kind of out of context, but if a woman knows she is about to go into labor (her water has already burst) and then decides to get on a plane, she has made a dangerous decision for both her child and herself.  Every major airline has a policy that you have to have doctor's permission to even board the plane, which Sarah Palin didn't.  It is also their policy to make an emergency landing.

If their are any complications on a plane, you are completely screwed, because there is no suitable medical equipment, not to mention it is hard to even go to the bathroom sometimes during flight, let alone give birth to a child.

Mr Bubbles claimed that he saw no potential problems with delivering a baby on a plane.  If you have a choice to have a baby on or off a plane, I think that choice is clear, ESPECIALLY if labor has already begun.  That was just one of the many examples of dumb things Mr. Bubbles has said, so don't take it the wrong way.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
