The Odyssey of flight 33
This episode of the legendary early-1960s
American TV series, Rod Serling's 'The
Twilight Zone' was brought to my attention
by a friend and a subscriber to FKTV, as
the strangeness of the fictional plane's
journey portrayed in this episode reminded
her of the ever-changing story, re-hashed by
the Criminal Mainstream Media, as to the
ultimate fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370,
en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing several
days ago, with the plane's whereabouts still
remaining "officially unknown".

Postcard from the End of America: Chicago
by Linh Dinh / March 10th, 2014
I’ve been coming to Chicago forever,
but always just for a day or two. The first time was when I was only a
teenager and visiting an aunt in St Louis. Another time, it was to take a
physical exam for now-defunct Midway Airlines. I was trying to get a
job as a baggage handler. The day before, though, I had been at a Philly
party where someone handed me a joint. Never one to refuse heartfelt
hospitality, I inhaled, but somehow this didn’t prevent me from being
hired by Midway. Perhaps they used the same urinalyst, piss parser or
golden shower technician as Major Leagues Baseball, you know, the one
that kept clearing Sammy Sosa even as he hit, like, 600 home runs in one
season. In any case, I never took that Midway job, for I had found
another while waiting for their decision. Back in the late 80s, it was
that easy to find work, so even a no-skill, no-degreed, beer swilling
and, occasionally, very occasionally, actually, pot smoking, coke
inhaling or acid
dropping bum like me could pick and choose. If you could lift stuff, no
matter how awkwardly, you were hired.

Retirement -- The New American Luxury
America
has always invented its own status symbols. A lifetime ago, status was
being a two-car family or having air conditioning. A decade ago, it was
huge houses with three-car garages. There was a time only the rich went
on cruises, a status symbol whose cachet is long gone. Just like
designer clothes and handbags, the aspirational aspects of
American life have long been available to the masses.
But
there's one luxury that only a few are still able to afford. And unlike
fake designer purses, this luxury cannot be made in China and
distributed to a vast group of demanding consumers.
That luxury is retirement.
And
only a select few will be able to enjoy the reality of a life-ending
decade or two, spent relaxing and pursuing hobbies. Retirement is truly
the last exclusive luxury, increasingly available to only a limited
group of people — a true status symbol.
