Pricey snapshot

The WSJ reports that the flyby in NYC, causing so much panic, cost $300,000. The intent apparently was to take a snap of Air Force One flying by the Statue of Liberty – a laudable idea, but …. $300 Big Ones in these times suggests a certain disconnect with the working man, no?

The resulting picture

One of the costlier pictures of 2009. Though I must add it’s simply a show stopper. Beats me why they didn’t erase the clutter in the background.
