IF YOU LIKE AIRCRAFT VIDEOS, you'll love this: F-35 operational test trials.
The comments, maybe not so much. The one that particularly sticks in my craw is the '14-year-long development' comment. The YF-22 (F-22 precursor) rolled out on 27 August 1990 (I was there); the F-22 achieved IOC (initial operational capability) 15 years, 3 months, and 16 days later, on 15 December 2005. Yes, development cycles are excruciatingly long - and getting longer - but that's a result of bureaucracy, not technology.

AMMO GRRRLL: Safe Spaces for Psychotic Ninnies, circa 1975. Ammo Grrrll punches back, not twice as hard, but thrice as hard. Or maybe 'fource' as hard, if that's a word.
IF HILLARY BECOMES PRESIDENT, who will make her obey the law?
Ultimately, the Presidential Records Act depends on the honesty of the president. That's not Clinton's strong suit. Recent polls have shown substantial numbers of Americans do not believe she is honest and trustworthy. After the State Department experience, they would have good reason to be suspicious of her in the White House.Indeed we do. Democrats are foolish for not having a Plan B.
UH-OH: When someone buys vanilla ice cream, he's basically right there with John Wilkes Booth, helping him steady his aim at Abraham Lincoln's head.
I switched to Vanilla Caramel Fudge -- is that good enough?
