Quote of the Day

The US Navy announced that due to bad weather, it will postpone the attempt to shoot down the impaired satellite until tomorrow at the earliest. Our zillion dollar "star wars" technology is clearly capable of stopping incoming missiles so long as: they come one at a time, are the size of a school bus, travel in orbits that have been calculated for months, don't deploy any decoys, and the weather is clear.

Kinda makes you wonder...if we weren't putting eleventy billion dollars a year into the Iraq war, perhaps we could afford to develop and build missile defense technology that actually works?
