Morning AARP: Plane Mutiny

(via bfraz)
In case you missed it - a flight attendant quit a JetBlue flight - and presumably his JetBlue job - in dramatic fashion yesterday, via an expletives-ridden announcement followed by jumping on the emergency exit slide. (Dude grabbed a beer on his way out. Hey, if you're gonna make a dramatic exit - why not?)
In your morning headlines: Defense Secretary Gates plans to cut more than a few jobs in an effort to get Pentagon spending under control; researchers have found a way to predict Alzheimer's onset via spinal fluid tests; and in case you'd forgotten, it's an election year - and the President just went back into campaign mode yesterday.
Keep cool, everyone. Happy Tuesday.
