2. That is a classic...

I of course refer to the "OH SHIT" look on McCain's face at around the 6:49 mark when he's told Dick Cheney is on the phone just seconds after he has been bad mouthing Halliburton and saying they needed to be investigated for overcharging on their contracts.

4. We should learn to love our MIC!
It has been and will continue to be the underpinnings of our reason for being and the purpose of our existence. Destruction and illicit drugs, (gotta' keep them illegal)are two of the biggest industries on the planet today.

Soon, the Pentagon, gasoline hog that it is, will be asking for emergency funding so that we can pay for the increased cost of fueling our beloved, hi-tech, and very expensive Leviathan. We must be willing to take food out of the mouths of the useless poor and old and children to support this important beast because, well, the wealthy and their corporate veils won't be very happy and might hurt us if we don't.
