Air Farce One

It's certainly no vacation for taxpayers when the imperial president takes time for a little R & R, given the obscenely regal manner in which the First Family travels. But this is the first report I've seen of the First Pet flying solo, in a separate jet:

"Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy, D-Mass."

Don't know about you, but reading that sentence makes me want to woof.
