Eisenhower warned about the military-industrial complex taking on a life of its own, and now we get to watch this from a ringside seat. It's something like being in a zoo with a scary and dangerous creature behind the bars-not unlike Alien, really-and we keep throwing in more food, while the beast grows and grows.

::::::::

Grandma Pelosi wants to feed it more. Give 'em Hell Harry wants to beef it up a bit. Most Democrats are so confused they don't know what they're doing. Just keep tossing food into the cage, is all they can think of. Never mind that this beast devours men, women, and children, or maims them for life, without wincing; or that it sucks dry the blood of our country and our soldiers. Everyone wants to toss more food to the beast!

Everyone wants the beast to die, but no one wants to stop feeding it. I was hoping that Grandma and Uncle Harry would step in and act like they had some brains, or at least behave like adults, but I guess I should have known better. "Two plus two equals three," says Grandma and Uncle Harry, expecting us to believe it.

I fail to believe it, but I do say, "Hooray!" for those few brave souls who are trying their best to convince others we ought to be starving the beast, starting immediately.
