Green Party's Jill Stein Flies To Wrong Ohio City For Rally
Source: Talking Points Memo
Talk about a detour!
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein ended up in the wrong Ohio city Friday for an unknown reason, delaying a speech she was supposed give at a university, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
Stein was slated to speak at noon at Capital University, a school in Bexley, OH, near Columbus. But there seemed to some miscommunication because the Capital University Greens Student Organization told The Dispatch that Stein flew into Cincinnati, which is about 2 hours away by car.
The paper reported that there were about 100 attendees waiting at the rally site for Stein and that pizzas are being ordered for those who waited while Stein made that drive. It was unclear who was providing the pizzas.

(20,809 posts)She and her party have no overview and no understanding of the necessity of one, especially now, and they can take their tired, bullshit "both parties are the same, there's little difference between the candidates" shtick and shove it up their asses. Trump is the most dangerous presidential candidate this nation has ever faced, and she, and her party, are doing their best to put him into office. To hell with them.

(Unless Jill Stein was the pilot, or gave the pilot the wrong city name.)
By the way, Cincinnati's main airport is in Northern Kentucky. However, there is a smaller city-owned airport in Cincinnati, used mainly by corporate and private planes, which could have been the one used. - I haven't seen a clarification on this.

Birmingham, England and Birmingham, Alabama. Easily confused, right? Maybe not.
A British couple was expecting the trip of a lifetime when they arrived at the Birmingham Airport in England recently for a flight to Las Vegas.
Their dreams of gambling, star-studded shows and buffet meals were quickly crushed, however, when they learned their flights were actually departing from Birmingham, Ala., the Daily Mail reported.
Richella Heekin spent a year planning the trip for the 30th birthday of her long-time boyfriend, Ben Marlow. She kept the trip a secret until revealing the surprise in front of friends and family.
Heekin paid £1,200 ($1,745) for the flights on lastminute.com and wasn't able to get a refund.

Birmingham, Alabama here they come.
The British couple who mistook Birmingham, Alabama for Birmingham, England when booking a trip to Las Vegas a few months ago will get to experience the Magic City for themselves on Aug. 16-17.
Richella Heekin and Ben Marlow's upcoming excursion is a chance for Alabamians to show residents of Birmingham, England (and the world) that Birmingham (Alabama) is a worthy, and maybe even better tourist destination than Sin City, said Tom Cosby, a retired Birmingham businessman, who is organizing the couple's visit.
The couple will spend a day and a half in Magic City after spending a week in Las Vegas.
Richard Branson-owned Virgin Holidays is picking up the tab for the couple's airfare and five nights of accommodations in Las Vegas.
