1. As a side note, it's pretty cool to see a resurrected Eastern Airlines.

The old hockey stick logo is back apparently. Interesting, will have to do some checking to see when they started up operations again.

5. Kitchen sink...

“everything but the kitchen sink” is defined as “everything imaginable.” I define the kitchen-sink strategy as “a plan to accuse an opponent of policy flip-flops; previous bloopers; shady associations; pictures wearing costumes; and all shocks that political flesh is heir to, in hopes of provoking unseemly fury.”

But why the kitchen sink? Why not other heavy but available items like the office desk, the bedroom chifforobe, the bathroom tub? The lexicographer Eric Partridge thought it came from armed-forces slang, used about intense bombardment. He offered a 1948 citation in his unconventional dictionary: “They chucked everything at us except, or including, the kitchen sink.”

So Bernie pretended the sink was landing on him, but it was invisible...so he wasn't hurt by her accusations

6. Thanks but..

Did Hillary mention the Kitchen sink first or...was this just an expression used by one of Bernie's staff?

7. The candidate running a dirty campaign throws the 'kitchen sink'...

"kitchen sink" is a popular expression.


"Bernie Sanders is doing best with voters who are looking for a candidate who cares and is honest."

8. The term originated from a Clinton aide in 2008.

Clinton Campaign Starts 5-Point Attack on Obama

After struggling for months to dent Senator Barack Obama’s candidacy, the campaign of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is now unleashing what one Clinton aide called a “kitchen sink” fusillade against Mr. Obama, pursuing five lines of attack since Saturday in hopes of stopping his political momentum.
