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.
