United Airlines to Buy 15 Ultrafast Airplanes from Start-Up Boom Supersonic


United Airlines to Buy 15 Ultrafast Airplanes from Start-Up Boom Supersonic:
  Its been 18 years since the Concorde supersonic airliner flights were discontinued, but United Airlines is placing a multibillion dollar bet on the return of luxury and business travel by purchasing 15 planes from Denver-based “Boom Supersonic,” jets which the company claims could cut flying time between New York and London to only three-and-a-half hours.

Wow, now that’s an awesome achievement!  From this point on, we’ll now be able to spread COVID-19 and other contagions around the globe - in just a little over 3 hours.  That said, I think we can all agree it’s about time someone finally came up with another viable transportation option for the one percenters.  After all, billionaires have been in desperate need of a way to make quickie jaunts over to Paris and back for their lunch dates. 


Why, just think about what this means for the future of air travel.  With the help of forward-thinking companies such as United Airlines and Boom Supersonic, you could actually have breakfast in New York, lunch in Paris, then take a quick meeting in London, while all your baggage ends up luxuriating in the golden sunshine, somewhere down around Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  


That said, I guess we can only hope these folks didn’t come up with the name “Boom,” because their fuselages kept cracking during testing.  I mean, am I the only one here who feels a wee-bit uncomfortable about an “aircraft manufacturer” deciding to call itself “Boom?”  One thing’s for sure, if they ever decide to put Firestone tires on the damn planes, I’ll be taking the train.


Anyway, at a recent press conference, a Boom spokesperson told reporters its the company’s plan to try and become as green as it possibly can, pointing out that they’re looking into a fuel which would partially come from a recycled food byproduct.  Company officials say that innovation should leave only the faint smell of french fries or fried onion rings in the air after takeoff.   


Meanwhile, critics say buying a supersonic plane from a company that’s never built an aircraft before is pure lunacy.  Not to mention that during the pandemic, we got used to having all of our meetings on Zoom.  The fact is, Zoom could mean the doom of Boom, and that’s the elephant in the room.  Oh well, I guess for those folks over at United, it’s gonna be “Boom or Bust.”

Donald Trump Sporting Slick New Hairdo for UK Visit

Donald Trump Sporting Slick New Hairdo for UK Visit:   US President Donald Trump is showing off a shockingly new slicked-back hairdo, as he prepares to meet with the Queen during his first official state visit to the UK. Good God?  What the hell is that all about?  Is he trying to bring back the mullet?  Either that, or he’s secretly planning on entering a Gary Busey lookalike contest as soon as he gets to London. My guess is, he’s trying to put on his best bohunk sexy look for his meetup with the queen.  One thing’s for sure, he now actually looks exactly like the greasy, mob slime ball he tries to act like.  Maybe he figures that if he ever does get impeached, when they come to get him, no one will be able to recognize him.  But hell, even if he does get impeached, he’ll have nothing to worry as far as getting a job.  I mean, what respectable La Vegas used car lot wouldn’t wanna hire a guy who looks like that? https://ww...

Trump Tells Hannity He Can Declassify Secret Documents With Just His Mind

During a recent interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity, former president Donald Trump tried to defend stashing extremely sensitive classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort by saying he was the president, and the president can declassify, simply by “saying its declassified.”   Trump further added that “there doesn't have to be a process - there can be a process, but there doesn't have to be.”   Trump then told Hannity that if you're the president of the United States, you can actually declassify something “by just ‘ thinking’ about it.”   Oh, my word!  You mean to tell me Trump actually thinks he can declassify the government's most guarded secrets, simply by “thinking about them?”  Now, not to be critical, but it sure sounds like someone has been spending way too much of their spare time binge-watching old episodes of “I Dream of Jeannie.”  I mean, about the only thing he left out was that he also sprinkled the documents with “pixie dust!” This...

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...
