That's the spirit...

Spirit Airlines is preparing to file for bankruptcy protection after merger talks with Frontier Airlines went down the shitter. The Florida-based airline is in final negotiations with bondholders on a restructuring plan to secure the support of key creditors. It owes more than $3 billion. Already this year it scaled back growth plans, layed off staff and has a plan to sell 23 of it's planes. It is expected that Spirit will file for Chapter 11, a form of bankruptcy that allows it to keep operating as it bids to cut its debts.
Aside from the cramped seats and unruly nickel-and-dime passengers, there's still a place for a discount airline here. How it'll save itself is another story.

Yeah - not exactly the Dale Carnegie course, was it. 
That was kinda pathetic, no?

Creating a new Government agency to control government efficiency seems like an oxymoron to me, but what do I know?

I remember eight years ago when Newsweek screwed the pooch by printing and shipping millions of a special addition hardcover book called 'Madame President' with Hilllary's picture on the cover.

That demonstrates how the 'middle' became the right...

Aldi's fucking with me. They used to bring this bread in frozen from Chicago, but they haven't had it here in Florida for the last two months. Up till then it was the ONLY good tastes-like-I-remember bread in the whole state. Bread in Florida sucks. I think they make it purposefully for people with no teeth. The pizza ain't no bargain, either...

Florida’s crumbling home prices haven’t been this bad since 2011.
Despite rising home prices across most of the US, certain Southeast metros, especially in Florida, are bucking the trend, according to the National Assoc. of Realtors...

  1. Even the Cuban bakeries don't make good bread ? There really must be something in the Florida water !

    1. That explains it - Aldi Italian bread was pretty good but the last loaf we bought was different and not so good.
      Real Cuban bread (not supermarket 'Cuban' bread) is the closest thing in Florida to real Italian bread.
      Both are made with Flour, water and yeast but the difference is that Cuban bread is made with lard as well while Italian bread is made without any shortening.

  2. I sometimes wonder if the Trumann election was the first time the Democrats stole a Presidential election in the middle of the night.

    1. No need to wonder about the JFK steal though... It's thoroughly documented.

    Let's wait and see what the net change is. If they eliminate a couple of departments and prune back a bunch of others, it will be a net gain.

    1. I don't think that DOGE will have any actual power to effect a change; I think their recommendations will have to pass through Congress, but I also think that The Donald will see to it that their recommendations are so highly publicized that Congress will not dare not to act upon them

    2. It's funny how whole agencies can be created by executive order (CIA), but can't be undone by the same.

  4. I finally found a place that makes a decent bagel - and then it was purchased by a couple of entrepreneurs - from NJ yet - f'get about it; foam rubber tastes better!
    I'm still looking to find a place that makes a decent seeded rye bread, y'know, like the one we used to get by my Aunt Dora's in Brighton Beach. The only one that's all close to it is Levy's Jewish Rye - y' gotta be kiddin' me; I wouldn't think to desecrate that with a healthy schmear of chopped chicken liver.

    1. You're right - Levy's is one of the few ryes out there that is decent .
      Good bagels are nearly impossible to find - I hate to say it, and it may be heresy, but Lender's frozen bagels are probably better than 95% of the "bagel shop" bagels .

  5. Are the bakeries in NJ still any good or have they all gone the way of the dodo bird? Could it be the humidity interfering with the bread making?

What's a car ad without any cars in it? A huge BudLight-like clusterfuck...

Try to imagine how many people had to be involved  in the development and creation of this 'ad'...    That sound you just heard was ...
