Space Wars
There have been lots of interesting stories recently about the US's growing reliance on satellites to control gee-whiz weaponry and provide detailed real-time images to battlefield commanders. MSNBC has a story on the military's growing bandwidth crunch. The AP has a story about how many other nations are putting up their own spy and communications satellites, suggesting that the US edge in space imagery might disappear (unless we start shooting other satellites down, of course). And Bruce Sterling has a fun story in Wired (fun in writing style, not in its implications) suggesting that we're entering an age of Pax Americana, where the US military is so dominant that competitors exist only at our sufferance (though that might not stop people from trying).
More power to the US and its ability to destroy other countries. Yay.. Woohoo.
I think there is some anecdotal info related to this topic. I'm not sure entirely what it is called, or I'd post a link.
Unfortunately I have to go tap that ass, so don't have time to look just yet.

Ooooh!!! We're so SCARED!!! We'd better change our arrogant ways starting NOW! Otherwise the Europeans may come looking for us! (Yeah, when they need to be bailed out of another war, maybe).

If it weren't for us, you'd be speaking German or Japanese right now -- or if not that, Russian or Chinese.
I predict this year you will receive 650 different penises in your ass, from which 1/5 will be white.
The same should apply to the idiotic moderators who have set this shit as "funny", but I understand they are monogamic, so they must spend all their attempts to have anal pleasure by inserting strange objects in the ass (4/5 of 650) and sometimes being fist-fucked (1/5 out of 650).
Hahahahahahaha.
Hahaha.
Ha. hmm, heh, excuse me.
Where was I? Oh yes. Let me guess, that sounded really deep when you wrote it, eh?
Stop spewing.
I surmise that you got 8 erections whilst typing out your homosexual fantasies by way of a reply. You achieved a neurological orgasmic state twice, but were unable to produce semen as you had been watching football and lost all your ejaculate whilst fantasising about being shot in the face with a blunderbuss loaded with the teams' used jockstraps.
This isn't a homo-porn story log, matey.

That depends -- if 9/11 killed more Americans last year than cancer did, and if the next 9/11 could kill millions or tens of millions instead of thousands, won't we save more lives by building the tools to defend ourselves?
