More OpEd Skewering

There are two OpEd cartoons this morning that just epitomize the current state of affairs in the United States today. First, this one from Jerry Holbert who nicely picks up what a lot of people know: that is, more money is being spent in Iraq than is being spent in the United States on infrastructure.

The second, from Wiley slams home a point that seems to be made every year about this time in the federal government. After all, have you ever heard of a failed pilot? If you wonder what I mean, just go and look at the Department of Defense's missile defense shield. How many chances does bad technology get before someone cancels the program?
