Hey you guys, quick question, it'll only take a minute. Which would you choose, food stamps or the Department of Defense? Because Mackenzie Eaglen, Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, posed this ethnical dilemma in the headline of her op-ed piece over at the Wall Street Journal, and you’ll NEVER GUESS which one she chooses! Actually, to be fair, you just kind of have to guess which one she chooses because she never outright says it; just strongly IMPLIES it. So guess which one she strongly implies? Are you ready? OK, click "read more!"
If I&#039;m reading this right, Mackenzie is supporting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as government make-work projects. In that case, I have good news for her: spending that same money domestically can create <a href="http:\/\/www.peri.umass.edu\/fileadmin\/pdf\/working_papers\/working_papers_151-200\/WP151.pdf" target="_blank">more than twice as many jobs!</a> Or, if she prefers, spend half that amount and still have the same net number of jobs.
They were just making sure the Japanese didn&#039;t invade the Philippines while our backs were turned. And in that, you will have to admit, they were fully successful.
Also , I don&#039;t think we had any merchant vessels sunk by German U-boats either. Win-win.
At least the conversation would be free of &quot;any citations or sources for these &#039;facts&#039;,&quot; so that should shave off a good five minutes right there.
&quot;Algy, old man, simply smashing reference.&quot;
I haven&#039;t been following closely -- have the Sequestrian Events started at the Olympics?

The AIDS epidemic? Yeah, I&#039;m going to say the AIDS epidemic.
No need for that ... he&#039;s content to fap to the fallacious right-wing crap in the pages of the Journal.
Good God, y&#039;all.
Or pants.
Not to mention the rufty and corrosife, lo, most Terrible condition that our reliable Mufkettes have become as of late!

Perhaps she should go back a little before 1916. There was an army in 1914 which could lose 19,000 soldiers in a day, and still managed to function.
Note to prospective lovers of Hackenzie &quot;American&quot; Eaglen, looking to tickle her war-boner.: try whispering &quot;1916&quot;
Hey, is that chick wearing a sweater vest? OMYGOD RICK SANTORUM IS CROSS-DRESSING!
Kris, you are asking for QUANTITATIVE REASONING. That&#039;s so cute!
