Yes, she will.

I wish she'd retire. California deserves a true progressive as their senior senator.

United Airlines flight attendants upset with new company policy.

Pushing credit cards on customers. Yup, cause that's going to be a great idea. Trying to get someone to sign up for a CC.

Remember their "companion" airline "Ted?" I never got the point of that one, booked United, flew Ted. When I did they kept pushing their merchandise. Like I want a plush doll or whatever other crap they had, and like that is going to make profit on a flight.

What happens on the next downturn and one of the remaining trunk carriers files BK? History says it will eventually happen.

Delta used to do this. Flight attendants would hawk the Delta Amex card during the flight and walk around with signup sheets. I haven't noticed them doing it lately though.

Not sure why it's a big deal.

© Dreamstime/Raleigh News & Observer/TNS Six Republican volunteers say they were kicked out of an Uber for their political leanings (not pictured).
RALEIGH, N.C. - Six Republican volunteers were traveling in an Uber on Saturday from a campaign event to downtown Raleigh when they say their driver pulled over to a gas station and told them to get out.

"Welcome to the resistance," the driver said while pulling away, according to Chris Godbey and Mary Russell, two of the passengers.
The driver told the six volunteers, who are from the Washington, D.C., area, to exit the vehicle on the grounds that the driver "had the right to deny us service," Russell said.

During the ride, Godbey told The News & Observer, the six volunteers talked about "current politics, energy policy and previous Republican campaign experience."

"It was clear based on our mild conservative political talk that the driver realized we were Republicans," Russell, who was the rider who ordered the Uber, told The Daily Caller.



I wonder if it could be against your religion to listen to views you don't like. Why not?

The Brady Bunch home is one the market!

It is located not far from Hollywood. Personally, I would be proud to own it. As a bit of trivia, they put in a fake window on the second story for the shots of the house, because it was clearly two stories on the show.
