Who are you people that would fly SFO > ORD > YEG?
This was a legit option presented to me by AA or Continental (can’t remember which now) but, seriously??

Boss: What do you think of this?
Nico: That's an awful idea. I really don't think you'll be able to execute that at all.
Boss: ...
Nico: But if that's what you decide you want me to do, I'll figure something out.

And last I checked, don’t we measure greatest in totality?
George W. Bush is a funny and charming individual, but he was an awful president.
Richard Nixon started the EPA but Watergate.
Sarah Palin is a great athlete but is not so good with almost anything else.
Feministing is a good forum except for when they refuse to acknowledge Women of Color issues.

Brought to my attention by Danny is this gorgeous work of art, the notes though?
