I read in the newspaper that our 'resident, George, the 2nd, has signed a funding bill to spend $6,000,000,000 to design BRAND NEW ATOMIC WEAPONS. Have you ever woken up in the morning with the burning desire to make NEW AND IMPROVED ATOM BOMBS? Gee, me neither. Our fearless leader has. Yes, our old atom bombs JUST AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH! One bright note, there will be lots of work for people that know CALCULUS!
here are the words from the SF Chronicle...
A new era of nuclear weapons
Bush's buildup begins with little debate in Congress
James Sterngold, Chronicle Staff Writer

read ALL the words
Congress, with only a limited debate, has given the Bush administration a green light for the biggest revitalization of the country's nuclear weapons program since the end of the Cold War, leaving many Democrats and even some hawkish Republicans seething.
"This has been a good year," said Linton Brooks, the administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, which develops and manages the country's nuclear weapons arsenal. "I'm pretty happy we essentially got what we wanted."
Reversing a decade of restraint in nuclear weapons policy, Congress agreed to provide more than $6 billion for research, expansion and upgrades in the country's nuclear capabilities. While Congress approved large sums to maintain the existing nuclear arsenal even during the Clinton years, this year's increases will finance multiyear programs to design a new generation of warheads as well as more sophisticated missiles, bombers and re-entry vehicles to deliver them.
"This is a fairly radical new way of thinking about things," Brooks said, adding that it amounted to "a more fundamental shift in the way we look at this than many people realize."
That the change is indeed both "radical" and "fundamental" is about the only thing critics of the administration agree with.
"It hasn't been perceived as such, but this is a nuclear revival," said Stephen Schwartz, publisher of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
Deeply disturbing to critics on both sides of the political spectrum is how little public or congressional discussion has taken place, and how little detailed information the Bush administration has provided on its strategies and plans.
(there are more words to this article, but I think the point is clear)
BUSH IS A DANGEROUS MADMAN !!!
