I saved the "good" stuff below...

EVERY time there is an accident the media gets the facts all bent out of
shape, the politicians go into overdrive spewing their re-election routine,
and the ignorant public starts ranting about things which they do not know.

It gets really old having people constantly attack a pasttime which I hold
so close to my heart.

NEW YORK - Federal officials on Friday were winding down their onsite
investigation of the crash of New York Yankees pitcher Corey Lidle’s plane
into a skyscraper and said they were reviewing rules that allow small
aircraft to fly in Manhattan’s crowded airspace.

The general aviation corridors around Manhattan have been “the Wild West,”
said Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y. He and Sen. Charles Schumer said anyone
flying near the island should be under the supervision of air traffic
controllers, especially in the post-Sept. 11 era.

“A smart terrorist could load up a small, little plane with biological,
chemical or even nuclear material and fly up the Hudson or East rivers, no
questions asked,” said Schumer, D-N.Y. “I hope this will be a wake-up call
to the FAA to re-examine flight patterns, which, amazingly enough, they
haven’t done since 9/11.”

New York’s Republican governor, George Pataki, also said the Federal
Aviation Administration “needs to take a much tougher line” about private,
or general aviation, flights over the city.

FAA spokeswoman Laura J. Brown said Thursday the agency has decided to
review those guidelines and flight restrictions.
