Wow, @Lucky . Every time you put inflated exclamations in your headlines about the run of thi mill news of the day I cringe a little for you lol. Save WOW for a more meaningful story IMHO. Size matters.
Let's dispel the Illuminati rumors here. MSG didn't "leave" JetBlue, he was let go. It's as simple as that.
