Mitt Romney wants to know why airplane windows do not open

?When you have a fire in an aircraft, there?s no place to go, exactly, there?s no ? and you can?t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don?t open. I don?t know why they don?t do that. It?s a real problem. So it?s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she?s safe and sound.?

"Tuning '77" - a seamless audio supercut of an entire year of the Grateful Dead tuning their instruments, live on stage. Chronologically sequenced, this remix incorporates every publicly available recording from 1977, examining the divide between audience expectation and performance anxiety.

Still too sexy for Utah

Utah school recasts musical with sexy Elvis songs

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A parent who was "All Shook Up" about Elvis Presley songs in a high-school drama prompted educators to cancel the musical, deeming it too sexual. But the decision was reversed Thursday by administrators at the high school south of Salt Lake City.

The administrators at Herriman High School received permission from the copyright owners of "All Shook Up" to edit some of Presley's songs and make scene changes in the American jukebox musical that borrows from William Shakespeare.

"The show will go on," said Sandy Riesgraf, a spokeswoman for the Jordan School District. "Our biggest concern early on, we wanted to make some changes to keep the play within community values. It's a win-win for all of us."

Presley warbles about a sweetheart whose "lips are like a volcano that's hot" in his song from 1957. "I'm proud to say she's my buttercup. I'm in love. I'm all shook up."

His song lyrics together with a scene suggesting cross-dressing were deemed offensive by a person the school is refusing to identify.

i don't see how you can keep bonds out of hall of fame.  his stats even before he started using steroids were easily way over the threshold for HOF election.  Who knows if Nolan Ryan and Cal Ripken weren't using steroids.  Are they going to keep everyone out of the hall for a 20 year period? 

i couldn't decide if this belongs here, or in nkotb's thread:
