Heroism got short shrift from the media in DC this week. Captain Chesley Sullenberger, the celebrated pilot of US Airways flight 1549, was all but ignored in Obama Inaguration coverage. “Sully” was on page one when he landed his Airbus in the Hudson River, but barely made it to Page Six when he dined in Washington’s Hudson Restaurant.
Captain Sullenburger cooked a pair of geese in New York, but dined on fried chicken in DC.
It was rumored that BK had cooked up a commemorative “Sullen Burger,” and reporters beefed when this was revealed as satire. But we can beef up both air safety and cemetery sanitation by rounding up the thousands of Canada geese that overstay their visas. Forget immigration law; process those birds with fire, not ICE.
