"They don't get hungry. They're not afraid. They don't forget their orders. They don't care if the guy next to them has just been shot."
- GORDON JOHNSON, of the Pentagon's Joint Forces Command, on robot soldiers.
Somehow, I feel like I am becoming a geezer. After my bike accident, I have used a cane. I feel like poking a young whipersnapper...

Oh my gawd, Bush tells a fib?
Mr. Emanuel said: "The new cost estimate destroys the credibility of the Bush administration. Officials were so far off in estimating the cost of the Medicare law. Why should we believe what they say about the financial problems of Social Security?"
Why should we believe him about Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Why should we believe him that the Iraqi's will love us?
Other fibs will come flowing shortly....

Hey, I am not 55 either for 60 days...
A quote from an editorial....I agree....
On a point of personal privilege, I note that Bush promised Americans aged 55 and up that they would receive full benefits, but threw open the doors of the opportunity society to all “younger workers.” That means that if Congress were to enact Bush's program (which he took pains not to spell out last night) within the next month, I'd be exposed to the vagaries of the market; after that, I'd be a full-fledged geezer eligible for full Social Security benefits. So, memo to Congress: Take it slow, guys. Better yet, don't take it at all.
