Uh, when has this administration ever cared about “saving money”?
Come on, it’s almost bedtime, tell me another.

Ok, so where is the new facility? They’d only close it if there was a new swoopy-doopy one to take its place.

Who needs NORAD when we’ve got neocons? They’re really are determined to go out in a nuclear blaze of glory, whether triggered by American nuclear bunker busters, or perhaps the Pakistani government falling and losing control of its nukes in the messy aftermath of an attack on Iran. We’re entering a period that is far more dangerous than the balance of terror of “mutual assurred destruction” deterrence of the cold war, dangerous as that was.
Why so little outrage — including none from our leading liberal political figures? Perhaps because, judging from things like the reaction to the TV show Jericho, more and more folks seem to think nuclear war is survivable with just a little grit and determination — just another kind of war. It’s a huge collective failure of memory.
Some thoughts about an increasingly oblivious world poised on the edge of the abyss: Dr. Strangelove, please keep an eye on your toys. The grandchildren are getting forgetful.

the u.s. is such an infantile country. it spends three quarters of its tax money on silly war toys, then attacks itself on 911 and stops pretending to defend itself to “ save money. “ jeez, if these redneck inbreds didn’t have our money, we could be a real country with things like stores and homes owned by individuals and songs on the radio.
