If the states (team franchises) that make up the United States of Baseball (MLB) pay this much money per year to their players, just on salary alone, I wonder what the gross revenue is combined for all those teams...
Also, the US announces it's gonna consolidate all of the plutonium that presently exists in the US to a single site which has yet to be built, while simultaneously designing and building new nuclear weapons, and all the while getting rid of the nukes that have been stockpiled in warehouses since the Cold War, even though they're still definitely nuclear bombs. This is being done for security purposes, claims the administration; "We must have nuke-ular weapons if we want to keep being number 1," says Bush. "It's about determinance." What the President of the Unites States of America meant to say was deterrence. Meanwhile, it appears that some facilities currently in the possesion of plutonium, in the administration's opinion, would not be able to repel a terrorist attack. So the plan is to get all the plutonim out of there and put it all in one place, that hasn't been built yet. That is some sound thinking, which we have all come to expect from the Bush team. It reminds me of something, a saying that makes sense, and is universally applicable...what is it...wait for it...oh yeah. "Never put all of your eggs in one basket." And these are Nuclear eggs. Even a dope like Bush can understand that. Or can he?
This announcement comes at a time when we are pressuring the UN to step in and sanction Iran for its nuclear ambitions. Wasn't one of Bush's main pre-election talking points the danger of sending "mixed messages" to the world...? Something about a sign of weakness...ah fuck it.
I seriously am about to have a cerebral hemmorhage.
