Officers at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming could not communicate with or monitor the status of 50 Minuteman III nuclear missiles for a while on Saturday. That's a comforting thing to know, right? Look: sometimes our nukes, like rebellious teenagers, get angry at their military officers and won't talk to them or tell them where they are. But what trouble have rebellious teenagers ever gotten into? And what could possibly go wrong when you have no idea where 50 of your nukes are or what they're doing? It'll all be fine. We have to learn to just trust our nukes. They'll make some mistakes, sure. But they'll become responsible eventually, even if, granted, they almost destroy half of the country.
I believe in the 1960s all of the launch codes were actually '00000000' or something like that. Seemed like a good idea at the time. The GOP will probably look into privatizing missile launches when they assume control again.
They're probably all, "Look...we can destroy whole cities...but torturing a kid for 10 years...that's just immoral."
Simple really - off load this function to the private sector.

<i>Couldn&#039;t they just have a fling with a younger Pershing II or something? </i>
Not in this country. Two missiles getting it on? Gay war sex in the US? I think not!

Plus you&#039;d get some kick ass tone
