The Slater story comes to an end (for now)

As I expected all along, Steven Slater pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal mischief this morning and took a deal that would keep him out of jail.  He'll have to pay JetBlue $10,000 to cover the cost of the emergency slide as well.

I have yet to be contacted by the media for my thoughts on the story, so I'll put them here.  Don't call me:  I couldn't care less what happens to this guy.  Although I fully expect that he has a future in reality TV.  He'll be the host of a show on Bravo or some other two-bit network within a year.  He has to find some way to pay that fine.

One last stop on the media tour

If you want to hear the audio version of my media circus story, I'm on Dan Levy's On The DL podcast this morning.  I've been listening to Dan's show for a long time and he thought the media side of the story was just as interesting, if not more so, than the incident itself.  I hope you enjoy the show, and I apologize in advance for the occasional poor sound and cats meowing on my end.
