The other day, the Wall Street Journal called for an ABM system to deter terror regimes, saying, "they won't invest their money in weapons that won't work." 
     No, only we do that.
     In 1984, President Reagan sought to render "impotent and obsolete" all evil nation weapon threats with the Star Wars missile defense system. Thirty billion dollars later there was nothing to show for it. Bush (a rocket scientist like Reagan) said we would have a missile defense by 2004. Last month, when North Korea started flinging fireworks, the Pentagon revealed that our missile defense had never been turned on.
     Missiles are such a powerful threat is that they are virtually unstoppable. They are only good for preemptive strikes or retaliation.

How to Pick
 Up Chicks

1) Impress Her

You've chosen your subject and are ready to make your first move. Woo her with your intellect. Make some passing reference that exposes your knowledge of music or international cuisine.

2) The Touch

Touch her in some non-threatening way: brush a piece of lint off of her shoulder, or touch her arm when you make a point. Her reaction will reveal whether the night will be filled with wonder or want. 

3) Accept Failure

Remember, if the B don't want it she don't want it. Others have fallen before you but still get the occasional slam dunk. Google "failure" and click "I'm feeling lucky." Move on.

What kind of PhotoShop evil is this? That hand is not human. It's like the paw of some alien lizard creature from a Sixties, low budget, sci-fi flick. And yet, Axis Ann allows this horror to remain on her very own website.

     Lay died in Aspen, Colo., evidently of a massive heart attack, according to wire reports.
     After five days of deliberations in May, jurors in Houston convicted Lay and former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling of assorted deviltry in the 2001 collapse of the company.

     John Adams

Bush pledged to get bin Laden "dead or alive." Six months later the president said, "I truly am not that concerned about him." It should come as no surprise that the CIA unit dedicated to getting bin Laden is no more.
