News and notes from around the interweb:
- IHG Platinum Fast Track 5 nights and status through 2023
- U.S. funneling passengers from Uganda into 5 airports for Ebola screening
- Fairness where it’s due, we don’t just see seats like this on American…
Shout out to @detla for this wonderful experience on a 6 hour flight 😐 pic.twitter.com/Qw8kBOma56

- You’ve got Moxy, kid.
I would totally go out of my way to stay at hotels that actually offered good desk chairs and advertised that fact.

- Whatever your views of the Pennsylvania Senate race, attacking a candidate for the opulence of American Airlines domestic first class is absurd. I argued Biden administration Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen should fly first class and I see no reason why Dr. Oz should sit in back, either.
Here's Dr. Oz this morning on his way to California 🌴 (in first class of course), where he's headed to beg billionaire$ for more money
Meanwhile, I spent the morning with hard-working union members in Beaver County.
I'd choose them over Oz's rich buddies any day of the week. pic.twitter.com/MqYC5fU4xO

- Given Hong Kong’s turn towards China, and its resulting Covid policies, it makes sense that Cathay Pacific is one of the few airlines still extending elite status. No one could really go anywhere (or return) without draconian consequences.
People who think they can ‘shame’ someone for flying up front are small-minded. I’m sure that Dr Oz couldn’t care less … he’s happy not to be squished into a coach seat. If you can’t figure out the points & miles game , spend your time learning about it instead of being jealous of those of us who have.
Who cares? Yeah he’s a rich guy and he’s a physician….someone who actually serves a valuable purpose in society….unlike fetterbum
Opulence of AA first class? Are we in cloud cuckoo land?
Sounds like John Fetterman is just a little cranky after seeing what his energy bill went up to after the Democrat’s fueled inflation. Maybe he should just chill out and have warm thoughts about a few thousand folks having their rap sheet cleared of federal possession charges while millions of poor and elderly folks shiver through this winter?
Meanwhile Obama enter the white house as an average Joe and somehow became a multi-millionaire before he left. I wonder how that happened? $$$$$
@Alan – they ALL enter the white house and leave rich – dems AND repubs. If they don’t, it’s there own fault. In all fairness, it’s not just Obama who has done that.
What will Tim Dunn say about that Delta tweet?
The mind salivates…..
I hope “detla” compensates him….with a slice of pizza
Hey, Dr. Oz is a millionaire from killing puppies and selling snake oil on TV.
He should sit in front with all the other exploiters…..
John Fetterman looks like a heroin addict. Why would anymore vote for someone that looks that low class?
@ CS — Only Trump managed to enter and exit bankrupt. And that’s after stealing hundreds of millions.
@Gene – good point. Forgot about that one! 🙂
It’s disappointing to see people shame others for their successes in life.
All politicians (and most business owners) beg others for money. That’s the smart thing to do; why finance on your own when people are willing to take a risk on you?
Look at all the MAGA turds defending Oz. Of course they are. Oz is a snake oil salesman who would push their grandmother down the stairs for a buck. This is exactly the type of person they wish to be. A rich lying con artist instead of a poor useful idiot for the con artist.
Brought their own snacks, too. Clearly were upgraded.
Well @Chad, I’m voting for Fetterman because his positions make sense as does his efforts at the parole board to treat prisoners fairly and not make them into repeat offenders for the most part, and if people would actually look into the reality of the situation they would know that it takes a unanimous vote of all 15 members of the parole board in PA to release any prisoner. So when prisoners were released, it wasn’t Fetterman, it was 15 people all agreeing they should be released.
Yes Fetterman looks like a long shoreman or any factory laborer or garbage collector, and so what. What’s wrong with that. Are they people who don’t deserve our respect. Dr. Oz looks like a snake oil, charlatan who’s put people’s lives in danger by lying and selling fake medications. It’s been documented that he’s made false or baseless medical claims. For example, Oz pushed hydroxychloroquine before anyone knew if it was effective or safe and since then we’ve found out through high quality research studies that the dangers of using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) show the use of HCQ for treating COVID-19 can be dangerous and has no medical benefit.
I’ll take the factory laborer look person over the quack look person any day of the week,
All that said, Fetterman’s statement about Oz flying FC is absurd.
Fetterman had like 8 people turn out in Beaver County (where I live.) He trolls Oz without info (like the animal testing at Colombia…. which was a peta complaint…. peta is not a credible source of info) then requests $5 donations like a televangelist. He is a joke, unemployed “career” politician.
Is “snake oil salesman” on the DNC fax this week? I’m no fan of Dr OZ but Fetterman is a typical class warfare liberal out to line his own pockets. He’s probably picking out a new Carhartt jacket so he can do the farmers/shotgun owner photo op.
What’s next Fetterman tweet shaming Oz for driving a fancy car while he changes tires for old people at the senior center. It’s all fake smoke and mirrors, say anything to get elected.
Support Oz because he would be the first Muslim US Senator and also the first US Senator who is a citizen of Turkey, owns property there and votes in Turkish elections. Fetterman can’t provide any of those diversity factors. He is just an American.
@Babblespeak
We support successful candidates that made something of themselves not clinically ill morons that appeal to blue collar fentanyl users.
IHG promotion requires a promo code, which is not provided at the attached link. So useless.
@CHRIS- you seem to forget that OZ was FIRED from Columbia University. He’s a disgrace to the medical profession. Why would anyone vote for that profiteering snakeoil salesman?
democrats and the left have proven that democracy is no longer viable. This country needs a pinochet to deal with cancer growing.
Well Oz made his own money. Has Fetterman ever had a job that was not working for the government? Lived most of his life off of rich parents. Real working class guy. D’s should run real working class people instead of all these rich guys. Where’s Lech Walesa?
@Jack the Lad- He made his money off of promoting useless health products. He was a snakeoil salesman and nothing more. It’s obvious Columbia saw that and other things and fired him.
@Gary— I’m shocked that you allow a homophobic, racist, hate-filled mothaf*cka like @Chad to continue to vomit his garbage on your site. Freedom of speech aside, it doesn’t look good for you. I doubt your advertisers would be happy if they were made aware of this. Just my POV.
