Watching coverage of the plane crash in the Hudson, and it's all "miracle", this and "God", that, and this is right what I'm talking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, God shmod, why'd he let the plane crash in the first place?
Why not steer those geese out of the way?
How about thanking the pilot?
How about that?
His name is Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger, III.
Here's his pic.
Awesome piloting, man.
Course, he don't need my dumb little blog, he's going to the inauguration, I'm just reminding everyone in eyeshot.

Too damn right, much Tea raised for such a good man, his experience and knowledge saved everyone's lives and he deserves the praise for it.
Sully, you and the rest of your crew deserve everything, you were just doing your jobs but, flipping heck didn't you do it well.
I take great joy in knowing he did all he could to keep everyone safe, its inspiring.
Yahweh, ok, so the bastard doesn't exist, but he still deserves to have a prize winning leek inserted sideways up his rectal passage for his crimes in this event. Yahweh gets sent to prison for attempted murder, no parole, key conveniently lost in a black hole somewhere - he is the criminal.
I hate this crap about god.
Why do people immediately jump up and down in joy when there are accidents like this, whooping and cheering god on like he is the one with the flying experience?
Sometimes utterly devastating things like when loads of people lose their lives and guaranteed you will find some bunch of cretins are out there leaping for joy cos 1 baby, out of a shed load that died horrible deaths, made it out alive.
That baby probably has no family left cos they all died on the plane, but fuck it, its ok cos Jesus and God love that baby so much they saved him.
The logic and reasoning behind this shit is overwhelming - I simply cannot grapple my mind around it.
Yay the baby is going to suffer for the rest of its life! Loads of people lost their lives in terrible burning agony and terror as they hurtled to their deaths, woo hoo!
Praise should be given to the people who deserve it - the pilot, the airline staff, the people who kept everyone going, the people who fished them out of the river, who tended to their medical needs - just everybody who helped those people have more time on the Earth.
They count and they matter -to paraphrase Dan Dennet thank goodness for them!
(cool, the word I have to put in to verify this post is "moves" - cool moves Sully!)
