Men Who Stare at Nancy Pelosi.

 

I could have sworn this was going to be about the Washington Senators. Only rational explanation for how they remained mired in suckitude.

 

I was not aware the army even had a Jedi Mind Shit division.

 

And she stares back:

 

Curiously looks a lot like Anthony Hopkins' dummy in "Magic"...

 

Well, since the Army isn't allowed to make large campaign contributions to Senators to get them to do what it wants the All-American way, it's got to do SOMETHING.

 

Hope it's working better on the enemy in Afghanistan than it has on the Senators...

 

Wow. Maybe George Romney didn't deserve to be ridiculed. (old school political reference. Sorry.)

 

Or Thomas Eagleton.

 

It works pretty well, actually. Locals think these things are mind control, but in reality they're just kick-ass cameras and weather sensors.

One of the FOBs at which I spent a great deal of time in the Zharey District was receiving indirect fire dozens of times per day until they put up one of these things. Stopped almost immediately. Not one rocket, mortar, RPG or anything else after the balloon went up.

 

I think the psy-ops have already worked on the millions of Americans who won't blink at $13 billion-plus this year alone to "train" the fucking Afghans, whatever that even means, but think teachers and other public employees are to blame for the huge fiscal crisis. [/crossthreading]
