While I offer my best hopes for the crew and passengers, I cannot help but think that Obama was somehow involved, possibly in conjunction with the whole Benghazi scandal.

My dealer’s a great guy: fronted me a z of kush, and all I had to do was let him hold on to my “/s” tag.

bit of a stretch, but WTF!
not much time left (just a bit over 2 years) so why not!
might get lucky and stumble on a 3rd grade plot to capture Passenger Airlines and hold them hostage for ice cream or something?
be kinda hard to ‘disprove’ if 3rd grade crayon pictures with ‘Barry,s’ suspected DNA suddenly appeared.
that alone should be worth about 19 $$$gazallion dollar hearings? – and keep the lazy good for nothing deadbeat do nothing Republicans in Congress very, very busy – looking.

Very tragic news, but CNN is buzzing with excitement, with Wolf Blitzer already talking about pings.

the folks that have loved ones on this aircraft are glad that CNN is giving this full coverage.
eyelashviper December 28th, 2014 at 12:55 pm
My comment refers to CNN’s rather obsessive and endless 24/7 coverage of the missing Malaysian flight.
Most news organizations cover such tragedies, but CNN was over the top, ignoring other news and covering every possible sensationalist theory as to the disappearance of the Malaysian plane.

Yeah! I am amazed at all sheeple bitching about what CNN is covering or not covering.
Did these people lose their remote controls?
Did they forget how to use their remote controls?
Was someone holding a Glock to their heads making them watch CNN?
Or did someone over at Fox circus tell the sheeple to bitch about CNN?

So you have a problem with people calling out a news channel for their poor reporting and other nonsense that is so prevalent on any of the alleged news channels?

If they get CNN and can understand english or get it translated. Not a very big audience though. I wonder what kind of ads they have for an audience like that?
