Gee whiz, so crabby today, Opus!

They finally have this strip big enough that I can read it without a magnifying glass..I hope that you keep it this big for us with sight problems.

Now instead of the American military industrial complex, we pay all our money to failed social programs. And so it goes.

We’re still paying a goodly sum to the military-industrial complex. I know, since I used to work there.

The biggest piece of the pie still goes to the Pentagon. But yeah, don’t let the truth get in the way of your beliefs.

National security and defense make up around 19% of the Federal Budget.

Social Security around 22%.

Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP around 21%.

So-called “Safety Net” programs around 12%.

Federal Employee and Veterans Benefits 7%.

Interest on the Federal Debt around 6%.

All others around 13%.

Mmmmm stone crab claws. I know what I want for lunch today.

I can see clearly now . . .

Opus isn’t lying, there are Stone Crabs in Florida and they are fished for the claws and thrown back.

I wonder what the human race is gonna do once we screw up the enviorment too badly for it to be fixed, I doubt we’ll perfect space travel before it happens.
