Chicago Tribune | Computer failure disrupts United flights worldwide Hee hee! I’m on SABRE. However, this impacted us anyway, because no record locators were coming back on our bookings, and we couldn’t issue tickets on UA.

Remember Vice President Cheney’s “surprise” trip to Iraq in December? He gave a speech then in a thinly veiled attempt to cheerlead the troops into believing that everything was just fine and they were risking their lives for the right cause. However, it didn’t work out quite as he intended. He was peppered with rather tough, serious questions in a round-table discussion, and during his speech it was clear he was working a tough room when he got to the sure-fire, killer sound bite designed for maximum network impact: Star-Telegram | 12/19/2005 | Cheney talks of progress in Iraq Shouts…

Insider – [TV Guide Online] The networks will all be creating exciting, innovative new spin-offs of today’s shows. Approximately 67 percent of all television will be CSI-based, including CSI: Des Moines, CSI: New York but a Different Part than Gary Sinise Is In and NCSI: SVU WKRP, which covers every possible gruesome crime with a groovin’ ’70s beat. (Jerry Bruckheimer will also have conquered Broadway with the CSI musical “FOLLICLE!” starring Nathan Lane as a frenetic but lovable blood spatter and Matthew Broderick as lint.) Lost has that one-of-a-kind alchemy that really can’t be copied. Therefore, look for the original…
