You mean, So, if this theory is correct, it was an act of piracy, right? There's still a bunch of different theories. Don't jump the gun. One new theory states that the plane actually landed somewhere. So, it was an act of piracy. But if the intent was to sell the plane to another

There may be, shall we say, mixed motivations--i.e., other than compassion--involved in the ascribing of blame by the TM critics on FFL. In the past, when the TMO has come significantly a-cropper, there have been veritable explosions of glee here from the critics, just as in this instance.

Why did the transponder stop transmitting? My bet is still on the aircraft's possible sudden, rapid depressurization theory. If the pilots failed to put on masks they could have blacked out from the lack of oxygen. So, this theory goes like this: the sudden decompression of the plane for

On the other hand, if it's true, as one of the reports had it, that Americans were tasked to sit with the pandits to make sure they were meditating, I can see how that might well have been perceived as insulting and demeaning, purity issues aside.

This had nothing to do with a celebrity endorsement, you twisted twit. Lawson is addressing a specific factual issue, as to whether Mishra is the head pundit, as the news reports have said; and if not, what his real status is, since he appears to have been central to what took place.. The

Let's see now, this would appear to be a photo of Marshall Applewhite, head of the Heaven's Gate cult, which committed mass suicide back in 1997. This would have exactly what to do with the TMO and the pundits? Or with Lawson, for that matter? Barry, you're losing your remaining marbles.

When contemplating the relative sanity of Barry and Lawson, let's bear in mind that it was Barry who characterized Lawson's mention of a TV interview with an older Fairfield pundit as exploiting a celebrity endorsement--as if Lawson could have cited any number of other interviews of the pundit
