    CNN is reporting that the investigation is focusing more and more on the pilots now.

    I'm interested to see how the reporting on this continues moving forward, now that it seems as much information as is possible has been sponged from all of the available sources. The ultimate fate of the plane will remain a tantalizing mystery until it is found, of course, but there's only so many times you can report the same facts over and over, and there is other stuff going on in the world. Apparently this has been a ratings bonanza for CNN, since it's a mostly apolitical story, so I'm sure they'll find every novel way they can to milk it.

    CNN's ratings always go up with news stories like this-- not necessarily apolitical. It's just that people (probably not regular cable news viewers) seem to think "CNN" when they think "breaking news."

    The first place my mind goes with that one is that some bozo didn't know what they were doing, flew the plane too high and caused it to stall (or there was something wrong with the instruments, and a not-as-bozo got confused about the altitude and flew too high, causing the plane to stall).

    Apparently the Malaysian government has been wanting search the pilots' homes for the past couple of days, they just haven't had enough evidence to act on their suspicions.

    I call that one a fake. If you look real close at the shark's teeth biting into the wing, you can tell it's photoshopped. Trust me; I'm a professional and I can tell.

    Are you sure? The Malaysian authorities are saying it's conclusive video evidence now.

    Nice try, but it has been safely established at this point that it was CLEARLY the work of Al-Qaeda, FAS, the CIA, NSA, MI6, Freemasons, Illuminati, Rosicrucians, Knights of Columbus, labor unions, Yakuza, SAS, SBS, Mossad, neo-Nazis, Maoists, Lizard People, the Justified and Ancients of Mu, Atlanteans, President Obama, and the Cub Scouts. I'm sure the media would like to have the sheeple believe that the pilot was doing something which totally made sense at the time, but that's what they WANT you to believe. Don't be fooled my friend.

    I hope they find the black box and beat the journalists' and Malaysian authorities' heads with it.

    Favorite tweet of the day: When they find the black box it will contain nothing but the URL to a YouTube video of "Never Gonna Give You Up"

    She's such a sleuth. Maybe she can now work on a Seattle based grunge rocker cold case.

    Her super sleuth skills should seriously sustain her credibility.

    CNN is reporting that the course deviation may have been programmed into the plane before the flight.

    I also "may have" vomited when I saw some of the music videos she posted.
