I saw this and am just happy that United slipped behind (pun intended) Britney Spears. I got too many miles to jump ship now. I look at it as one step closer to the top of the "Winner" list for '07.
Come on Glenn Tilton! Give up the bonuses and give back the employee pension you took away. It was people like you that led to this bankruptcy, not the rank and file workers.

I am glad that Hummer is on the decline. I used to love working the McDonald's drive thru because of the amount of people who would come through driving a 9 passenger car with only 1 person inside. I tell ya, that's the type of stuff that makes me want to start spitting on cheeseburgers...

Neither will wasting time on pop culture or the lives of so called celebrities.
100% true. But then again, I'm not the one hating someone for driving a Hummer thru a McDonald's drive-thru.

I'd like to comment on a different "loser" of 2006.... Howard Stern. This prediction I agree with 100%. Sirius is paying Hoo Hoo Howie half a billion dollars to bring his show to two stations on their platform. Now don't get me wrong, I know they have the NFL and some other celebrities, but they are now focusing their whole business around a man far from his prime, to a man who has been phoning it in for years, to a man whose popularity has been, and will continue, to decline.
Yes, I am a die hard Opie & Anthony fan (XM 202), so I am biased, but I stand by my comments.
