    I keep seeing "erm" but I've never heard it pronounced with the "r."

    I am almost ashamed to say that the first thing I wanted to tweet when I heard that it was a Malaysian Airlines plane was - I wonder if CNN had anything to do with this new airliner disaster. This has ratings winner written all over it!

    This is where my cynicism about television news has taken me. Oh and look, Time Warner stock up again today right after the news broke!

    Yes there is an "r", it's just like "er" with an "m" on the end!

    Whatever the opposite of fear is, is what I have in spades whenever I fly. From crashes to hostile fire it's got to be 100 times safer to fly than drive on the freeways of LA, or any other major city for that matter. I'd hop on a Malaysian airliner tomorrow if they were offering a great deal on somewhere that I wanted to go.

    So would I - and I know the statistics (I also drive in LA) but the flight thing ... it's that lack of (perceived) control.

    The question is why was this aircraft flying over a war zone where other aircraft had previously been shot down?

    No problem for Obama. He's munching on burgers, giving a speech about infrastructure, and going to a fundraiser tonight. 295 dead (including 23 Americans) don't rate a pause in his schedule. He did dedicate 40 seconds to this tragedy before going into his joke filled speech.

    He also called Putin on the telephone within about an hour of the plane going down. And he directed US intelligence agencies to lend support to the investigators. What more is he supposed to do right now? Nobody knows much of anything yet. We don't even know for certain that there were any U.S. citizens on the flight.

    Look, whatever happened, it's obviously a tragedy. When we gain some idea over who is responsible, there should be heavy consequences. But really, this is a plane full of 300 people on the other side of the planet. At this particular moment, Obama's infrastructure policy is of greater consequence to 300 million American citizens.

    Some people just cannot wait to blame Obama. Bad weather? Why won't Obama lead? My aunt's gout? Thanks, Obama!
