U.S.S. Boondoggle

A third Zumwalt-Class destroyer which is unwanted by the Navy will be built anyway. The reason, " To provide stability to the industrial base of Maine", according to Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England. Even the spendthrift Navy reached a vomit point of too many destroyers. But politicians and employee/warmongers lobbied for the additional $ 5 billion ship. The cost of the ship is the cheapest part. The years of maintenance etc. are astronomical particularly when the U.S. has to borrow the money to pay for it.

What is the Navy going to do with the ship? In fifty or so years it will probably be sunk to provide real protection to our marine cousins. But in the meantime since al-Qaeda doesn't have a Navy, I have a suggested list of targets to recover some of the wasteful and belligerent military-industrial- complex philosophy.

Possible Target And Shell List:

A) Washington D.C. with particular emphasis on "K" Street which is home to the 40,000 registered lobbyists that steal morning, noon and night with the help of our elected reps.

B) In the interest of bringing back the fish stocks, every other fishing boat and if that doesn't work then repeat the shelling.

C) Illegal immigrants in boats without rescue operations.

D)The Clintons on sight.

E)Cheney's multiple dwellings with a Navy Seal mop-up.

F) Tel Aviv for its blame in the killing of 34 American crew members of the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967.

G)San Francisco's Mayor and Board Of Supervisors.

H) Condi Rice when she shows her tooth gap.

I) Bush I and II and the old bag matriarch.

J) Hoover Dam and Las Vegas

K) Rodeo Drive

L) Manhattan Kikes

This is only a partial list.
