GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived.
Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot.
The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry. [Reply]

The fact that I believe corporate billionaires are sucking this country dry is a proof that I'm an Obama fan? I see Obama either as too weak to stand up to them or part of that system after all. Either way it's depressing and makes me no fan of his. [Reply]

That's hilarious. I was just about to make the exact same reference. Great minds (albeit minds less great than Frankie's) think alike, I guess. [Reply]

CP: Planes can't just snap in half like that in mid-air.
Frankie: Airplaines are indestructible? Ha!
CP: People aren't calling you dumb out of bigotry.
Frankie: There is no such thing as a bigot? Ha!
Didn't Frankie say he speaks 3 other languages earlier in the thread? I think we've identified the problem. He doesn't speak English. We're actually all agreeing in Farsi. [Reply]

I figured you were alluding to it with your post. Since you aren't as bright as Frankie, there is a Futurama episode where Frye goes to college with a monkey roommate that is in the same vein. You might need to start there. [Reply]

Sweet! We could put our heads together and be like a really smart something. What's 159 + 159? [Reply]

If you prefer, there is also a Simpsons episode wherein it is discovered that Homer is dumb because of a crayon that was shoved up his nose. [Reply]

I won't even demand a Yes or No response like you always do. But do you see the idiocy of your logic here?
No. Similar means having characteristics in common and/or alike in essentials. [Reply]

It's not proof but it gives that impression. Conversely, if I had a banner talking about how I think government handouts are sucking this country dry, you'd assume I was a Republican or Tea Partier. [Reply]

Stop being a two faced hypocrite.
No, I really didn't. I can understand why you WANT to think I did, however. [Reply]
