In an interesting and somewhat amusing story, a British man has been arrested by Texas authorities after landing his plane a few miles from George Bush's Crawford Ranch. Maurice Kirk, from Barry in Wales, apparently wanted to personally thank the President for his recent rescue by the U.S. Coastguard after he ditched (presumably a different plane) into the Atlantic off of the Dominican Republic. He is currently undergoing psychiatric assessment - apparently the powers that be found curious his assumption that no one would mind him flying a plane at low altitude over the President's house, though, according to his wife's post on his website, "I understand that he did not fly within the prohibited flight area, and so hope that this difficulty can be resolved quickly, not least because he is due home on 1 May and it's his turn to do the washing-up." The man has obviously lost track of his priorities.
