[ze_dscherman]

Northrop Grumman Corp. posted a 44% jump in profit in the second quarter, bolstered by increased sales of military electronics and surveillance equipment.

The Century City-based company said Thursday that net income climbed to $295 million, or 81 cents a share, from $205 million, or 54 cents, a year earlier. Revenue increased 11% to $7.4 billion from $6.6 billion.

4. More from Country Joe (slightly modified)

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on Iraq-nam.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Iraq-nam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.
