You know it's election season when...


I called Fort Dodge Flight Service today for a briefing. The FSS briefer
asked for my credit card number!

Taken aback, I laughed and asked if they took "Discover." He laughed, but
quite seriously said "That's what it will be like if they out-source us..."

"They" meaning, I suspect, the Bush Administration?

I'll be really glad when this election is behind us.

FSS won't be outsourced. What you'll see is a giant consolidation into
a very few or even one FSS, probably into the middle of the country,
although it doesn't really matter where.
