FILE - In this Dec. 26, 2009, file photo, Delta-Northwest Airlines plane N820NW is pulled back to the terminal at the Detroit Metropolitan airport in Romulus, Mich.

  4. Hey Josh. Maybe it’s time to hire a proof reader…

  5. And MSNBC and CNN are preparing to reflexively apologize even though they have nothing to do with it.
