  1. More TSA Dumbfuckery<\/a> – Utterly believable and utterly stupid. Assuming the story is as presented (and drawing from the experience Margie had over Christmas), they could have done secondary screening (swabbing) on the leg braces and dealt with the matter that way.<\/li>\n
  2. Donald Trump: Take Al Gore\u2019s Nobel Prize away because of \u2018coldest winter ever recorded.\u2019<\/a> – It is not surprising that the most self-centered (and self-interested) are only aware of the temperatures impacting the tips of their noses today.<\/li>\n
