In typical FOXNews bullshit fashion,

in today's' news', the corporate shills came out in defense of the bloated military-industrial complex, that has made hundreds of billions of dollars at the expense of taxpayers and massive casualties.

'Defense secretary reportedly ready to slash up to $260 billion over five years — a move sure to cut deep into the defense industry at a time when job creation is critical to the U.S. economic turnaround.'  THE FOX article goes on to say how bad it will be for the economy, as the Bush wars, and military spending, winds down.

Yup, we need those bomb making jobs REAL bad, for the economy. Not like it's a new argument. I grew up during a time when thousands were being killed and wounded in Viet Nam, but corporate America was loving the profits. Some things never change, thanks to the shills at FOXNews, and their ilk, the war profiteers.

Good article today about the top 1% OF the top 1%, or the .o1%. SURPRISE, several of them are heads of defense contracting companies, like Nortrup-Grumman, Raytheon, Haliburton, etc. who have massive lobbying staffs. I'm shocked.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things?

The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
