They should have called the F-35 the McNamara II instead of the Lightning II.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

The F-111 was McNamara and his whiz kid's attempt at a one-size-fits-all fighter.  It failed miserably in that role.  It wasn't a bad fighter-bomber, though.
