Rosie O’Donnell has a blog. It’s much worse than you might imagine.

…why Harry Stonecipher was really fired.

He wasn’t popular, particularly with a lot of the former McDonnell Douglas people, and a lot of people think that he’s been doing with Boeing’s aircraft business the same thing that he did with theirs–running it into the ground, with Boeing now second place to Airbus. Certainly the Sonic Cruiser was a bad joke.

I’d like to know what the rest of the story is.

A genius at English, that is–not a genius who is English.

You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 77% Expert!

Compared to users who took the test and are and [sic] in your age group:

* 100% had lower Beginner scores.
* 100% had lower Intermediate scores.
* 100% had lower Advanced scores.
* 100% had lower Expert scores.

Hmmm…

Unfortunately it doesn’t tell me what my score actually was. And I guess that if I were a little older, I’d have more competition.

Today is the sixty-fifth anniversary of Stalin’s massacre at Katyn Forest, in which he wiped out much of the officer corps of the Polish military.

Fossett is apparently over Kansas, and close enough to be able to glide in, even if he runs out of fuel, now.

[Update about 2:36 PM EST]

He’s almost made it–just a few miles out. Another record, for him, and another feather in Burt’s cap.

[Update at 2:48 PM EST]

He’s on the ground. I’ll bet he’ll be happy to find some indoor plumbing. And a bed.

Steve Fossett’s plane seems to be low on fuel:

Moore said fuel sensors in the 13 tanks onboard the single-engine jet differ from readings of how quickly fuel is burning during the flight. Moore said the crew has been forced to assume that 2,600 pounds of the original 18,100 pounds of fuel aboard “disappeared” early in the flight.

Where does 2600 pounds of fuel “disappear” to? Overconsumption early due to a cold engine, or stuck valve?
