Catherine Mayo is the individual detained recently over an airline incident much in the news – see details here and here. Below is a subscription only article from May 13, 2003 by Mayo in Pakistan’s Daily Times. Pardon me for elevati…

The woman that disrupted the London-NY flight on Wednesday appeared in federal court yesterday. The word is that she’s simply crazy, and not a terrorist, although her circumstances are more than a little suspicious: Ms. Mayo’s 31-year-old son, Josh,…

Why is it that everytime our state makes the news, it’s for something embarrasing. First it was Howard Dean’s civil unions. Then it was the Dean Scream, and the insanity that continues to come out of his mouth as DNC……

1. (Troops move into Iraq) F—in’ Bush!
2. (person loses their job) F—in’ Bush!
3. (person stubs their toe) F—in’ Bush!

4. (Katrina hits the La. coast)
- “He screwed up the rescue operation personally”
- “He caused the dikes to fail by withholding money”
- “He caused the global warming that caused the hurricane”

“Oh my God, I just realized. He’s three times guilty. F—IN’ BUSH!”

Dissent has no value…

Yeah, squatting and p—ing in the aisle of a plane doesn’t hold the same cache it once did, does it.

A frickin’ journalist. “What a shame, she writes so well…”

Abraham Lincoln had the moral obligation to end the slavery of human beings. He knew this. And yet he suffered greatly because he was also aware of the terrible consequences of war. He agonised over this until the South announced its secession. Then he went to war in self-defence.

So, ethics expert, here’s a question for you: if slavery hadn’t been the issue in the Civil War, would you still have supported Abraham Lincoln’s decision to hold the United States together or not? Why (or why not)?

Songs now can only talk of patriotism they cannot mention peace

If her warped mind could grasp that peace is a result of patriotism, she wouldn’t need to drop trou and pee on a crowded airplane.

The folksongs of the 1960s will never be written again because of President George Bush. He has hampered the liberties of my country in the name of September 11. Songs now can only talk of patriotism they cannot mention peace

Has she not been paying attention to recent output?

So, crazy plane lady, also known as Catherine Mayo, did have a screwdriver in her bag after all. It was reported she had banned items, then they said she didn’t, now it’s back on again.. Mayo is a peace activist……

The folksongs of the 1960s are still sung, by my children and their children, but they will never be written again. No one will ever again wail as Cat Stevens did, to compel his country to ride on the peace train.

Who wants to tell her that Yusuf is a Brit?

I hope that when I wear out this Cat Stevens album it won’t be too difficult to get another one. The folksongs of the 1960s will never be written again because of President George Bush. He has hampered the liberties of my country in the name of September 11. Songs now can only talk of patriotism, they cannot mention peace.

OKayyyyyyyyy..Cat Stevens? Mr Islam himself?
I like the part in the article where she talks about Pakistani “pen pal” she went to visit because this “pen pal” cant get into the USA since 9/11.
Does the term useful idiot ring a bell?

“West Virginia Airport Evacuated Due to ‘Suspicious Liquid’”–Mary Katharine Ham has details. Details of yesterday’s avation weirdness, here…….

She ended up pulling down her pants and squatting on the floor of the cabin to pee,

Good thing she didn’t grow a tail…they might’ve mistaken it for plastic explosive…Sheesh.

A couple items short of a Happy Meal, this one.

I am an American child of the 1960s.

Evidently, Mayo’s last LSD trip just kicked in the other day.
