Humvees are under-armed and under-armored, so the military is looking for something new:

Damn good interpretation of the classic NY T-shirt.
Here’s what Nielshenrik sez about it:
According to the Sun-Times:
Diners at Landmark, a stylish new restaurant in Lincoln Park, don’t have to go outside or sneak to the bathroom to make or take that oh-so-important cell phone call. They get a room all to themselves.
I actually saw this first on “Attack of the Show!”, but I hate to admit I watch that gerbil turd of a TV program…..
Holy crap, has it been that long? Of course, in it’s infancy it was just a few lines of codes that two nerds sat around tweaking. Little did I know that Yahoo!-like categorical directories would go the way of the dinosaur. We played with Google like a baby we were keeping up late. “Oooo, let’s see what it does when I type in ‘boobs’ and press the Feeling Lucky button!” Happy birthday, motherfucker!
See if you can spot who’s talking shit like a little bitch:
Motorola CEO: ‘Screw the nano’ - Yahoo! News
Motorola CEO Ed Zander had some harsh words for the nano in a recent interview.
“Screw the nano,” said Zander. “What the hell does the nano do? Who listens to 1,000 songs? People are going to want devices that do more than just play music, something that can be seen in many other countries with more advanced mobile phone networks and savvy users,” he said.
Macworld: News: Motorola ROKR debuts as first iTunes phone
Steve Jobs described the ROKR as “an iPod shuffle on your phone,” referring to Apple’s diminutive flash-based MP3 player that can store about 100 songs — the same capacity as the ROKR
If you are affected by the hurricane, I am sorry, but why does the entire country have to hear about your disasters!? Who gave a fuck in Texas when 800 people died in Chicago from the heatwave of 1995? OK, bad example since the Midwest wasn’t the only place affected, let alone Chicago. Even though the weather is often idyllic there, the Gulf of Mexico has been the hub and cause of natural disasters for a long, long time. We in the Midwest put up with a lot of ice and cold to keep those disasters from destroying our lives. You knew the risks! Climatologists warned you it would only get worse. Even Hollywood jumped on the wagon with an exaggerated scenario! But the only thing “misunderestimated” was your capacity for denial. With all that warning you re-elected a president that didn’t believe in Global Warming. That must mean you didn’t believe in it either. How about now?
If you want a government that is accountable for itself and the people living within its borders, then maybe don’t vote for the guy who wants to privatize every-fucking-thing! (Have you seen Haliburton’s stock price lately?) It is not in your economic interest to approve of tax cuts period, let alone those that overwhelmingly benefit large corporations and the rich. Taxes are the money we pool together to make this a great place for everyone. That isn’t Communism!!!!!! Ideally, it IS a basic survival technique people use to ensure the prosperity and survival of an entire group. The thought that America was built by rugged individualists is a myth. Nobody gets anywhere without help, either coerced or voluntary.
“…Timeline that outlines the fate of both FEMA and flood control projects in New Orleans under the Bush administration…”
It’s a total shame what happened in New Orleans, and the citizens are the last people that deserve blame. The normal rules of life don’t apply when survival is at stake and every level of government has proved itself incompetent in preventing panic, chaos, pain and death. Who knows what one would do in the same situation. If you can say with certainty you would not break a law if your life were at stake, good for you: you are a liar and a hypocrite. All of you in the media calling Black people that grabbed necessities from unstaffed stores “looters” are racist because you didn’t called Whites seen with diapers, water bottles, and food “looters” too. Should they have just waited around for the government to come around with help free provisions? And who cares if they are grabbing TVs too? The sets are probably all waterlogged and useless anyway. You think the store was going to be able to sell it at some later time? Rant over, for now…
