Liza Donnelly's Cartoon of the Week: An Assist by Obama
Liza, I knew what you meant immediately.
As I recall, the guys he played with were an established group that played together somewhat regularly. Obama did not pick and choose who was in the group, and I do not recall anyone commenting on the political makeup of the group.
Shortly after, he played golf with Melody Barnes, his chief domestic policy adviser.
This struck me as the more sexist event because this was when he considered appearances of gender bias and making a statement. For the basketball game, he was just a +1 to someone else’s group. Given the composition of Congress, I imagine he would be hard-pressed to find any women there who regularly played basketball - and is that how we want him to spend his time?

'Pilots Have Been Sleeping in Airplanes Since There Were Airplanes'
When the price of aviation fuel shot up, and the airlines were near failure, The pilots took a hefty pay cut. The mechanics and attendants took a hit in pay and benefits as well. For a while, there was a problem with airlines that laid off too many pilot, and overworked the rest. The pilots would run up against the monthly limit on flight hours, which resulted in repeated end-of-month cancellations and late departures/arrivals.
This particular flight was subject to another problem. Delta bought out NW, and has spent the past year in the merger process. Merging seniority lists was a major issue. These people might have already been concerned for their jobs, which would make this incident all the more foolish and the pressure to avoid blame more intense.
'Pilots Have Been Sleeping in Airplanes Since There Were Airplanes'
Fighters were seconds from take-off when contact resumed. The pilots had to make specific maneuvers to prove that they were in control of the plane before they were allowed to return to MSP. Police entered the plane before anyoue was allowed to leave.

I think that I shall never see
A reading lamp meant for a tree.
A tree whose hungry eyes engage,
A novel’s every thought-filled page.
