Just think - if shoe-bomber Richard Reid had shoved a pound of C4 and a blasting cap up his ass instead of trying to blow his feet off, airline travel and the line at the TSA checkpoints would look a whole lot different than they do today. Dodged a big one, we did.

Congratulations, Bud, against all odds you've managed to make me grateful for the shoe bomber.

Auto-correct? "moral" for "morale"? Love your columns, the serious and the seriously funny

No idea how that mistake was made and while I often find auto-correct a pain-in-the-ass at least it provides someone or something to blame when I screw up. (A regular occurrence.) So thanks for spotting the mistake and thanks for the encouragement. It never goes unnoticed or unappreciated.
