Bitter over Boeing?




Who, us? As are many people in the Puget Sound region, The Buzz is disappointed by the news that Boeing has decided on Charleston, S.C., for the location of its second assembly line for the 787 Dreamliner.

So if you'll allow us to get this out of our system ...

  • Boeing officials largely blamed the 57-day strike by Machinists and the delays it caused the 787 program for its decision against Everett. We were never very good at math, but perhaps the Boeing officials could now explain the other 22 months of the Dreamliners' two-year delay.

  • South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, R-Appalachian Trail, was so thrilled with the news that he's already booked his tickets for the 787's first flight to Argentina.

  • You know how to tell the difference between a 787 built in Everett and one built in Charleston? The South Carolina Dreamliner has Confederate flag mudflaps on the landing gear.

    Steven won't need a casket then: Wal-Mart has added caskets to its selection of low-priced goods available on its Web site.

    When we searched for “caskets” we were shown models such as the Executive Privilege steel casket. The search also offered among the casket choices — and we are not making this up — the DVD of Steven Seagal's “Hard to Kill.”
