thought of the day 2009 08 02 - New Saints

I think the Catholics need another Saint for Travel. Not St. Christopher, but a new one. Specifically one for air travel. This entire area of life needs much more divine attention. Between lost luggage, overbooked connecting flights, crying babies, airport food prices that I think are best described as fucking ridiculous.

The way I figure, there's lots of dead people. Saint one of them. Instead of genuflecting we just return our tray tables and seatbacks to the upright and locked position.
