I watched this movie well after I watched "Airplane!" and at the end of this scene, I was done. I mean sprawled on the living room floor laughing my ass off. It was amazing.

@DudespostingWs This happened to me in 2001 I flew by the first launch of the Shuttle after 9/11. When it finally disappeared into the sky the whole plane chanted USA. USA. It was incredible.

@ThatEricAlper Please allow me to introduce myself....

[Simons @Simon_Ingari]

Wife explaining her husband's job to her close friend.

Wife: "He sells software to companies."
Her friend: "Oh nice, like apps?"
Wife: "No. Big software. For running whole businesses."
Friend: "Oh, like Microsoft?"
Wife: "No. A German company. SAP."
Friend: "What's SAP?"

Long pause.

Wife: "Well.... It's… hard to explain. Basically he flies somewhere, finds whats broken in their business, spends 18 months with fixing it, and then everyone panics on this thing called go-live or something."

Friend: "And they pay him for that?"
Wife: "Sometimes they fire him first. Then they call him back."

35+ years in this industry.
She nailed it in 90 seconds.

@Chruffman @BenjaminSolak Ouch! And fair...

[Chris Patterson @CJPatty]

@LtGenScott Yep... That's the fair and reasonable response to this. It's a bummer, but had to be done.

@TheBabylonBee What a bunch of hypocrites... Because someone doesn't worship Jesus in a way that you deem appropriate, they aren't as Christian as you... It makes you like the Philistines... How pathetic.

@catturd2 You are such a pathetic and weak hypocrite. Only a drooling fool could ever take you seriously again.

My long-standing conservative/libertarian political views that now get me called a "radical leftist":

- Pro-free trade, free markets, & deficit reduction.
- Pro-voter ID with drivers' license (not passport or birth certificate).
- Against Washington taking over election vote-counting.
- Against jackbooted feds shooting protestors for legally carrying a gun, or kicking down doors without a warrant.
- Against invading NATO allies (Greenland) and Russian expansionism.
- Against price controls on medicine or credit cards.
- Pro-legal immigration.
- Pro-Federal Reserve independence.
- Against handing our public health system over to anti-vaxxers with worm-eaten brains who do cocaine off toilet seats.
- Against nanny state attempts to regulate what we eat.
- Against pardoning corrupt Members of Congress.
- Against electing politicians who fail to exhibit ethical, moral, and honest behavior.
- Against using elected office to get rich.
- Against assaulting Capitol Police and trying to overturn elections.
- Against disrespecting, deporting, or trying to eliminate the pensions of veterans who have honorably served.
- Against firing a Coast Guard pilot for misplacing a cabinet secretary's blanket.
- Against starting a mid-decade redistricting war (and crying when the other side fights back).
- Against all-power executives trampling Congress, courts, states' rights, and rule of law.
- Against protecting and pardoning child predators.
- Against declaring the Declaration of Independence, and Constitution outdated relics that ignore "what time it is."
- Against cult-like worship of individual politicians, even at the expense of the Constitution and rule of law.
- Against cancel culture mobs, even for those who do not express sufficient worship of Charlie Kirk.
- Against whining, victimology, identity politics, and antisemitism.

I've worked in high-level politics and policy for three decades. For most of this career, these views left me comfortably working within the conservative/ libertarian movement.

If some people with no political memory before Trump now want to call these beliefs "radical leftist," knock yourselves out. I'm focused on eternal truths and policy realities, not the partisan flavor of the month. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Didn't see much of his work, but this guy seems to have been a very decent man. RIP.
