It's also 5 years and trillions of dollars overdue.

umm, no. By 2017 the program was expected over its lifetime (until 2070) to cost $406.5 billion for acquisition of the jets and $1.1 trillion for operations and maintenance.

Hundreds of billions, my apologies. I was by the way referring to the research cost which is rapidly approaching the 1.5 trillion mark.

A Hot L Baltimore reference.

I'd love you, you know, if you weren't so dirty.

A few of the US major players are Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, United Technologies, and General Dynamics.

You can start with the Wikipedia article on the Arms Industry if you dare. Eye/brain protection recommended. (If you figure out something that works well, please let me know. I could use it too.)

Depends on who's asking and who's telling. Like Trump says his inauguration crowd was biggest ever because lots were watching online, but he's neglecting that those numbers were inflated several-fold by people checking in just to see how small the crowd was in comparison to Obama's. Sorry, I digress.

My honest guess about Maddow's numbers is that whether Thursday's 2.9M includes online or not, the same metric was used for Wed. and the sports shows to be fair in the comparison. I do know that I watched it live with my wife, and it was glorious.

It's apparently a Pennsylvania plate, so...

EDIT: I'm wrong. Others have nailed it as Colorado.

Danny Devito, what a great talent. Louis Depalma, Frank Reynolds, etc... Love the show. And Jimmi Simpson as Liam McPoyle, icing on the cake.

How Danny DeVito got hired to play Louie DePalma:He walked into the audition, threw the script onto the ground, and yelled, "WHO WROTE THIS S***?" True story
