First those stupid pilots who want us to believe that they were on their laptops and that's why they didn't hear the air-traffic-controllers calling ~or~ the buzzers going off ~or~ the screens flashing at them ....
Yeah right -- time to check where the flight attendants were at the time. Oh yeah sure - for over an hour and a half they didn't hear any of this ... to the point to where they were getting ready to send up the military planes to shoot the f---er out of the sky and kill everyone on board.
Yeah right -- if they were on their laptops .... it wasn't to look at "scheduling procedures" ... no way. For that amount of time, I doubt they were even IN the cockpit ... its just hard to believe that they wouldn't have heard the claxons otherwise.

Then there is the H1N1 vaccine fiasco that caused a clinic in MN to shut its doors.
Word got out that this clinic in St. Louis Park (hey isn't that where Franken is from? ... just something to go 'hmmm' about ... Mr. 60th Vote) had some vaccines.
In 4 hours they got 120.000 phone calls for the 17,000 doses that it had.
Why did one clinic get so many of the vaccine? a SINGLE clinic got that many ... hmmm.
Kris Ehresmann, Director of the Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Prevention and Control Division of the MDH, says "We had providers let us know what their needs are. Then we randomized them using random numbers. And so we started allocating vaccine, then, based on those random numbers in order to be ethical."
The health department also set up the lottery so vaccine would be distributed more evenly geographically. That means vaccine is randomly showing up at providers across the state. The state does not have a vaccine warehouse. It's being shipped directly to providers as it becomes available. Kare11.com
Oh yeah completely ethical there:
With just 300,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine on its way, or in, Minnesota, and with
2.4 million Minnesotans considered high risk
This means that a little less than 6% of the vaccines for the entire state went to a single location at a time when there are so many people who need the vaccine in the most concentrated part of the state (they have closed a couple of schools already because of 'flu like symptoms' or FLS).
You can't tell me that the distribution wasn't influenced by either (a) average income, (b) most often used type of insurance, (c) political influence. One or more of those factors have to be at play here.
Although I will say that Park-Nicollet is one of the more used hospitals ... its the upper crust version of 'General Hospital' which some communities might have. So in that respect I can see them getting quite a bit ... but still so many doses in one area - especially those earmarked for pregnant women & children.
Only other thing I can think of ... is that the hospital staff is taking their doese "off the top" before distributing it to the public.
