CONTRACT LOSS AMUSES WRITER

As much as I respect this company for providing much-needed jobs for the greater Puget Sound area, I found myself laughing over the news when it was announced that the aerospace giant wasn't getting the $40B Air Force tanker contract.

I was equally amused when I heard a disgrunted Boeing work sound off with: "Who wants to buy a French plane anyway!?"

Who indeed? (laughing here)
