Tragedy last week: Death-machine makers are losing one of their "friends with benefits," insufferable phlegmy Senate goblinJoe Lieberman. Making matters worse, the voters of Connecticut have also gotten rid of Chris Dodd, for being terrible. "With both of the state’s senators departing Congress, companies like United Technologies will have to scramble to shore up their support on Capitol Hill," said some lady from something called the "Lexington Institute," which must be the part of the war machine that provides Lieberman with a steady supply of rice cakes to keep him happy -- rice cakes wrapped inside memos telling him how to give the war people money to provide the world with murder. No! Not companies like United Technologies! Murder corporations are the most important citizens of all!
So...Joe resigned in order to fight in the wars in which these combat systems are utilizied. Right? Right?
I see a bright future for Joe as a test subject for land mines.
And the insurance lobbyists, Don't forget the Hartford insurance lobby.
And the professional wrestling lobby.
All the other brave C-men and C-women
