Why fly when there's Photoshop?

Have Americans lost their minds? Here's a high-IQ question. Did terrorists take down all legal copies of Photoshop from FAA computers Or did they they just hack into officials' common-sense and replaced it with a sick sense of humor?

Before asking why it had to fly Low, I want to ask why Air Force One, escorted by two F-16s, had to actually fly over the New York skyline in order to take shots of the plane! Couldn't an intern edit the photo without authorizing an expensive photo-op flight over NY? I thought there is an economic crisis going on. These flights cost money and if they are not necessary they should not be authorized on economic grounds, not to mention New Yorkers sensibilities.

That was a sick joke for New Yorkers and if Osama-Bin-Laden is reading the story from his laptop cave, he is probably emailing the FAA, the CIA and the White House asking them to authorize low photo-op flights over Pakistan. Like Obama, he must be furious old images of him are still circulating in the media years after 9/11. If Osama's spokesman states that his boss is upset the CIA circulates old copies of him to the media, I am ready to accept that the Afghani guy is actually more grounded in his request than the FAA officials that authorized the flight.

I want to also prepare myself not to be surprised if Osama, out of empathy for the economic pain felt by millions of Americans announces that he is willing to pay for the cost of those photo-op flights over Pakistan.

I don't know what you think of this incident but I think it was a very sick joke to play on New Yorkers and also rude to everyone else suffering in this crisis.

If Americans are running out of common-sense sensitivity, what happened to their common-sense economic sensibility?

What's wrong with using Photoshop?
