The Twins Banned from Flying!

Justice Prevails.  There is a God.  Use whatever expression you like, but you've got to read the latest story about the Alaska court case involving the Angry Identical Twin Hick WannaBe Models that assaulted several United Airlines flight attendants on a San Francisco to Shanghai flight some months ago.

Remember, we bestowed our Stupidest Idea of the Year Award 2001 on John Roberts, the federal magistrate in that Alaska court case who, in a stratospheric level of  stupidity, decided to allow those two attackers to FLY ON AN AIRPLANE back to their hometown---provided that their parents fly with them.

Well now pardner, a new Sheriff's in town; U.S. District Judge John Sedwick.  And he picked up the fumbled ball by John Roberts and decided to sentence the Twins to probation, community service, and  ban them commercial flights for several years.  While he was at it, he also nailed a Seattle doctor for threatening an airline ticket agent in Sitka, Alaska last Thursday when his luggage was delayed.  Can you imagine that?  Two days after the September 11 tragedy, and already people are back to threatening ticket agents over lost luggage!

A nice piece of court justice in an otherwise depressing week.  That's all for today.  Have a nice weekend!
