It's not all that complicated, folks.
John McCain wants to change DC, Barack Obama wants to change America.
One candidate believes in and cares about this country, one doesn't.
It's your vote. Make it count.

Watch for more on this one as the day goes on and more becomes available.

Breaking: London-to-DC flight diverted due to “dangerous situation” on board (Update: Note referencing Al Qaeda?)

The plane’s on the runway in Boston now; passengers are being offloaded. Details are sketchy, but Fox said there were three “suspicious” people onboard who confronted the crew and who may or may not have had an “item” or “items” with them.

[...]

A United Airlines flight from London to Washington D-C was diverted to Logan Airport this morning following a confrontation involving three passengers.

A woman on board Flight 923 apparently became “unruly,” prompting the pilot to request an emergency landing at Logan shortly after 10 a-m.

... Fox just said the woman had a note referencing Al Qaeda, along with “vaseline,” matches, and a screwdriver.

[...]

CNN asks a good question. Regardless of whether this was terror or just a lone nut, how’d she get vaseline and matches through the screeners at a British airport?

It's gonna be one of those days, isn't it?

Ed Morrissey: Flight Drama Somewhat Overblown.

Sounds like there was some real dumbness involved but no terrorism.
