Snarkfest Saturday

Filed under: — Chap @ 1:41 pm

Is it the weather this week that’s causing it?

Lex:

the USAF is pushing the wildly expensive F/A-22 – the A stands for “Aquisition strategy” I believe -

Instapundit:

ANOTHER U.N. PEACEKEEPER SCANDAL:

The United Nations is investigating a suspected child prostitution ring involving its peacekeepers and government soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the U.N. mission said on Thursday.

Among accusations being investigated is that pimps are using the presence of U.N. peacekeepers to lure vulnerable girls to go and work as prostitutes in areas of South Kivu where they are deployed, the mission said in a statement.

I’m sure that Lebanon will be a success.

John Podhoretz:

Who Will Speak Truth to Power…

…now that Andrew Sullivan has gone on vacation? Who will uncover the amazing plot that Cheney and Rumsfeld actually consciously planned a failure in Iraq? Who will argue that there was no British terror plot? Who will use the word “waterboarding” in place of the word “the”? Who will publish long e-mails of tribute to Andrew Sullivan for his bravery and courage? Who?WHO?

Christopher Muther:
I’m flummoxed that people are eagerly paying $35 to enrobe their feet in Crocs when they could be spending their money on more aesthetically pleasing fashion options, such as the stretch pants sold in the back of Parade magazine.
Very Zen, proving you can even deliver the snark when getting videotaped singing in the bathroom:
And you can make fun of my accent all you want, because I’m country, and this is how we talk in the country. And when I get done with the singin’ I’m gonna sleep with my first cousin just to spite you.
And to get pregnant.
(This is the woman who in her “About Me” says:)
I’m not just saying that because I’m jealous, I’m saying it because I’m bitter.
And of course the folks here and here like to hit the easy targets, repeatedly, with a brick.

Here. Have a record store cat to make you feel better.

    120 mil for an F-22..whew, Also I also find it funny they have labelled it attack but then I had the same laugh back in the 80’s when I first F & A…..

    Gee, 85 mil (FY04) a copy for an F-18E/F almost seem like a bargain compared to Raptor! (NOT-at least the Raptor can do what it was designed to do-shoot down anything an enemy can throw up, plus-no wing drop) Wait till we get the tab for the Growler price from Boeing- but of course Lex won’t say a thing about that. What about the V-22? MMA?

    Can’t have your cake and eat it too. Unless of course you’re a Hornet (Boeing) lover….
