Teachers sue Delta for dumping jet fuel on them in LAX emergency landing 

Nj
These teachers are fueled by anger - no, make that greed...

Four elementary school teachers are suing Delta for dumping jet fuel on them and their students in an emergency landing Tuesday, USA Today reported. After being doused in jet fuel, the teachers became “sick, dizzy and nauseated,” the lawsuit said.

The emergency jet fuel dump, which landed on three elementary schools, affected at least 40 children and adults. The Delta flight was bound for Shanghai from Los Angeles International Airport, but turned around after an engine failure. It was jettisoning fuel to lose weight prior to landing.

But the lawsuit alleges that fuel dump landed on several teachers, entering “their mouths and noses as well producing a lasting and severe irritation and a lasting and noxious taste and smell,” according to USA Today. At first, the kids thought it was raining, but their supervisors quickly realized that it was jet fuel falling from the sky and rushed the children inside.

CC Sabathia keeps getting angrier over Astros cheating: ‘Don’t give a fuck’ 

CC Sabathia is confident that without the Astros’ illegal sign-stealing, the Yankees — not the Astros or the Dodgers — would have won the 2017 World Series.

“Fucking ’17, we should have won the World Series,’’ Sabathia said during an episode of his R2C2 podcast with Ryan Ruocco released Thursday. “I don’t care what nobody says. And now that this happened, nobody can ever fucking tell me that we wasn’t gonna win it. We should have won! There’s no way you can tell me we weren’t better than them. I don’t give a fuck what nobody says.”

Sabathia, who retired following the 2019 season, already had been the only member of the Yankees to complain publicly about Houston’s 2017 World Series title, which has been tainted following the release of MLB commissioner Rob Manfred’s report that said the Astros used cameras and electronics illegally to steal and relay signs throughout the 2017 season and playoffs.

After the lefty went on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” and said he would be in favor of the Astros being stripped of their title — they knocked out the Yankees in seven games in the ALCS before beating the Dodgers for the first championship in franchise history — Sabathia was even more outspoken on the podcast.

“I felt that shit,’’ said Sabathia, recently named a special adviser to GM Brian Cashman. “I fucking cried like a baby. We all felt that shit. So it ain’t no way you can ever tell me…forever in my mind, now, we won the World Series.”

God - what happened to her? She usta be kinda good looking... 

Monica Lewinsky responded with some choice words Friday to the news that Ken Starr will join President Trump’s impeachment defense team — tweeting, “Are you fucking kidding me?”

The famously scandal-scarred former White House intern — whose affair with President Bill Clinton was exposed by Starr, leading to Clinton’s impeachment in 1998 — appeared to be flabbergasted.

“this is definitely an ‘are you fucking kidding me?’ kinda day,” she tweeted shortly after hearing that Starr will team up with Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz to defend Trump.

In the 1990s, Starr investigated Clinton and wrote a report that ultimately led to his impeachment in the House, not to mention revealed the married then-president’s affair with his intern. Lewinsky has held a grudge for decades, telling Vanity Fair last year that the way Starr treated her in-person was “avuncular and creepy.”

A long line of Villagers for Trump (ie The Villages - the community I live at)  members roared into Lake Sumter Landing during a golf cart rally on Friday afternoon – and quickly encountered a Biden backer who had a message for them.

“The president is a filthy pig!” shouted Ed McGinty,  who was sporting a T-shirt backing Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign. Several Trump supporters slowed or stopped to argue with McGinty, with one shouting, “You’re a fuckin' idiot!” before hitting the gas pedal and speeding away.

Others slowed to offer their opinions to McGinty, but he maintained his message for everyone who would listen. Several smiled and shook their heads as they drove away from him. And others just ignored him as they honked their horns and shouted support for the president.

The mouse has officially killed the fox. 



In a move at once unsurprising and highly symbolic, the Walt Disney Company is dropping the “Fox” brand from the 21st Century Fox assets it acquired last March, Variety has learned. The 20th Century Fox film studio will become 20th Century Studios, and Fox Searchlight Pictures will become simply Searchlight Pictures.

On the TV side, however, no final decisions have been made about adjusting the monikers of production units 20th Century Fox Television and Fox 21 Television Studios. Discussions about a possible name change are underway, but no consensus has emerged, according to a source close to the situation.

Disney has already started the process to phase out the Fox name: Email addresses have changed for Searchlight staffers, with the fox.com address replaced with a searchlightpictures.com address. On the poster for Searchlight’s next film “Downhill,” with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell, the credits begin with “Searchlight Pictures Presents.” The film will be the first Searchlight release to debut with the new logo. “Call of the Wild,” an upcoming family film, will be released under the 20th Century banner, sans Fox.

  1. I've been wondering when you would get around to posting something about the Astro's. I'm pretty sure I remember hearing trash can banging during one of the few playoff games I watch and saying to myself WTF is that? IMHO, any team that pulled this bush league move should be stripped of their title and MLB records amended saying something to the effect the XYZ team was stripped of the World Series and Playoff titles for cheating. This is way worse than Black Sox or Pete Rose.
