Kill this damned boondoggle:

And the LCS.

Boeing had displayed a semi-stealthy version of the F-15 2-3 years ago. Buy it, it fills the need without busting the budget.

LCS? Korea can build frigates with actual warfighting capability for 1/3 of the price of the precious LCS. Why can we somehow not figure it out?

Things you don't hear about on the Nightly News. I read a story about this problem last week & then they were saying it was only
one leak, now they say it's six. This is so near the Columbia river. Oh, those in charge say not to worry. Right.

Hanford has been a problem site for a long time. Successive Congresses, however, haven't voted fund to fix the issues, and continual punting on Yucca mountain just make things worse.

Why the heck do spammers think I'd open any email that claims "Congress passed a new bill to ...." when they can't even get their act together with sequester looming?

I think our Congress is one big joke and not a funny one. They just got back from a break and will be gone again Friday. HELLO!!!! Keep your bums in your chairs until you get something done to fix the sequester mess you have coming down on OUR heads!!!

They need the breaks. Otherwise their tongues would dry out from too much time spent sticking them out at each other.

I followed the Yaquis (the team from Yucca) for a few years.

They need a new quarterback. The kicker is getting worn out.

I really find it surprising how much time & attention Media is giving to the election of a new Pope by the Catholic church. Are non Catholics really
that interested in Catholic Politics? and it is Political.

It is what's called a slow news cycle ... also, there all reportedly over a billion Catholics, so the media figures they have a big audience out there! Also, because the voting is done in secret, it leaves lots of room for rampant speculation!

THe selection of a new Pope has always been covered heavily in the media, mainly because they know they have a massive audience interested in the proceedings.
