Elephants Have Big Earmarks 0

Jamie discusses the drive to buy a second engine from a secondary manufacturer for the F-35 (note that the plane already has a first engine from the primary manufacturer). Here’s a bit:

If John Boehner and the GOP was serious about cutting spending, then this white elephant wouldn’t be up for debate. The desires of the current President, former President and Defense Secretary would be upheld. But we know that the Boehner clan isn’t really about cutting spending. They just want to stop government from helping its people.

He winds up by hoping that the Teabaggers hold to principle rather than to party.

There’s irony in there somewhere . . . .

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
