#4 For god's sake why, This borders on "Aid to the enemy".

#6 The sequester only applies to those things the chief executive dislikes, like school tours of the White House, and camping in federal parks.

#8 Quite right, CrazyFool. Thank you for catching that for me. The next Secretary of Defence is going to have quite a job cleaning out the stable after The Third Smartest Man In The Room.

#10 I read the headline as 'US, Pennsylvania sign $148 MM ..." and I was a little put off. When I read on and learned PA referred to Paleostinians I was REALLY put off.
