I was part of this story, on the front-page of the Boston Globe, about airline delays in and out of Logan. I was scheduled to fly the 6:30 PM Delta Shuttle from LaGuardia to Logan. Delta essentially surrendered to the snow and cancelled all the afternoon shuttle flights. They did, however, kindly book me on the 7 PM US Airways Shuttle flight from LaGuardia to Logan. After leaving the gate, sitting on the tarmac, and then returning to the gate, we finally pushed back about 11:45 PM or so. I arrived at Logan at 1:04 AM. I understand that the airlines cannot control the weather and are limited by the available runway space and the time required for deicing procedures. What I have difficulty with is why US Airways was able to fly from LaGuardia to Logan (and Logan to LaGuardia), however delayed, but Delta's operations essentially ground to a halt. The suits in Delta's corporate offices in Atlanta need to ask some tough questions. It won't matter with customers like me (my employers pay for my travel, so they choose the airline I fly) but a lot of the Delta refugees I talked with last night as we awaited the efforts of US Airways to get us home do have an option, and I suspect they may consider US Airways as a more reliable carrier than Delta.

An asteroid may strike Mars, while a group of scientists now believe it was a small asteroid that caused the Tunguska explosion.

Women of America...congratulations! Unlike your European cousins, enough of you are actually having children to put our fertility rate numbers up to replacement level. Hitting the 2.1 level for the first time in 35 years, this means a stable population (which will continue to see immigration driven growth), which means a workforce that can keep the economy humming and that will pay the taxes to care for the rest of us as we age. This is not true in most of the rest of the developed world. We'll see which path leads to prosperity and which to ruin.

Tancredo is out of the running for the GOP Presidential nomination. Oh, didn't know he was in that race? That's why he's now out. Which makes his endorsement of Mitt Romney rather weak.

McCain can win. I have pointed out that the Arizona Senator has been surging in the polls, and is now poised to possibly take the New Hampshire primary in a close, three or four-way race. Mark Hemmingway at NRO now sees the possibility of a McCain victory. Here is another analysis of McCain's surge, and the latest New Hampshire poll numbers. Joining the New Hampshire Union Leader and the Boston Globe, the Boston Herald has now endorsed McCain. It is just another sign that tells me people who are looking for the best man to be President, with the right mix of experience and personal gravitas, are now giving McCain a second and third look.
