Quote of the day


From SNAFU Solomon, talking about the latest bad news concerning the F-35's problems:

I won't say he lied, but I do think he twisted the facts so hard that it would take a battalion of chiropractors to straighten things out.

I read the link. Then I read the report (very long) imbedded in the link. Since all of the F-35's systems are integrated, it is a wonder that the damn thing flies at all. I'll take a 737 Max any day over the F-35.

OODA anyone?

One farmer to another about the new neighbor: I wouldn't call him a liar, but when he wants his cows to come in from pasture, he's got to get someone else to call them. From an old "Burt and I" recording.
