9/11 obviously was a tragedy and some people have good reasons to be concerned... but at the same time NYers are the quickest to jump at their own shadows.

Remember the steaming manhole incident? The city actually was sued for "scaring people" because there were morons who thought a steaming manhole was ZOMG ANOTHER TERRORIST ATTACK.

Now shit like this and once again, PANIC. Hell it is so pathetically easy to scare them and induce some sorta riot or mob mentality among them just watch the next tragedy occur because of this weakness.

They had video with a guy that talk about how trapped the president was etc. Like the "atrium" in the white house where the President and First Lady relax that has pretty much no view and the blinds like "steel bars" in his opinion. But like....it wasn't bad!

That editor seriously needs to be a hair less emo...I really don't need a good view if I'm with good company and cozy.

Oh and the whole it takes 40k per hour to run Airforce due to gas? I hope they don't give him a hard time about that this moment, he just started...he can't help that is not running on alternative fuel!

2. Yes, Gawker/Jezebel were a bit Obama-centric before the election, which was a tad much BUT now the man is president. Some people actually thought I was a raging republican because I said that McCain was not as bad as Satan, rather he was just not very good. Yea that annoyed me to bits and pieces, but hey the election is over and he is President, so there is no more analyzing my words to bits and pieces.

3. I tend to be a skeptic when it comes to all politicians, because actions speak louder then words. And Obama has simply amazed me with what he has done in less then a week.

4. I will now openly say it. The ease of getting a commenting account has really trashed this place. It takes no credentials to get a Facebook account yet the Facebookers can comment immediately, whereas people had to wait to have their commenting account screened. Why aren't they subject to the same scrutiny?

5. Thank you Jesus (Diaz) for silencing those (insert awful phrase here) so we don't have to deal with them.

If anyone thinks this isn't Gizmodo worthy, you're nuts. Yes, Jesus used Obama's first trip in it to broach the subject, but can you think of a better reason/excuse to bring up the plane other than someone's first flight on it? I mean, think of all the news articles that have popped up on bird strikes. They are brought up because it's in the news, and a reporters job is to inform people about current events, and things which may be on the public's mind. I suggest the Jesus/Gizmodo detractors take a chill pill, and don't click on the link if all you're going to do is complain. It takes NO energy to not click. But clicking on a link, reading it, writing a response which adds nothing DOES take energy, and increases your carbon footprint. Congrats, you just drowned a polar bear, b/c the sea level rose, and polar bears can't swim!
