That is something you don't see everyday.

Isn't the title kinda redundant?
'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'

If he was having plane trouble he should have just pulled over and called the auto club. Oh wait....

Oops, I meant "Plane crashes into Ferris wheel, but neither the 2 kids on the ferris wheel nor the 2 plane occupants are seriously injured." I've changed it on my post but it doesn't show up under "new posts." If Site Staff can make the change, go ahead.

Some folks just can't wait their turn... I mean, loading a ferris wheel does take a while, but just trying to hop in one of the top cars... sheesh!
