Sci-Fi Toys for War-Mongering Boys

Today, Bush-Whacked amBushed the USA with his new $3.1 Trillion Gazzillion budget.

Included in this Magnus Opus of Keynesian-Tomorrow-is-Another-Day-Defecit-Spending Budget, is a proposed increase in Defense Spending of 7%, to $515 Billion (16.5% of the fricken budget!!!).

Now, to me, that sounds like preperation for a pre-meditated war against someone. (And the further devaluation of the Dollar and an increase in Gold/Oil prices)

And don't forget, that waiting in the wings are the two warmongers, Osama Obama and John McCainiac, who I'm sure are wringing their grubby little paws to fill the seat of the Master and Commander.

Part of their anticipation, I'm sure, is to gain control of the game console, War-Station 2, with the $515 Billion being spent to create Sci-Fi WMDs. For instance, the Navy is Testing an Incredible new Sci-Fi Weapon, using electromagnetic energy instead of explosive chemical propellants to fire a projectile farther and faster. (apparently electromagnetic energy will prevent "blowback")

The railgun, as it is called, will ultimately fire a projectile more than 230 miles (370 kilometers) with a muzzle velocity seven times the speed of sound (Mach 7) and a velocity of Mach 5 at impact. The railgun has been a featured weapon in many science fiction universes, such as the new "Battlestar Galactic" series.

The Navy's motivation? Simple destruction.

The railgun's high-velocity projectile will destroy targets with sheer kinetic energy rather than with conventional explosives.

I suggest they change the term of "railgun" to that of the "Psycho-Kinetic WMD"
