I've been reading more about these Austrians and their contempt for reality a unified national defense system under the auspices of the United States Department of Defense, and the following has occurred to me, out of the goodness of my heart. (And what was that about your relationship with that woman, Miss Lewinsky? --Ed.) This is an analogy and one formed at 0200, so make of it what you will:

Austrians, at least from what I've seen, are kind of like the pushy passengers on board RMS Titanic who demand to know why it is that we're not on course for New York City. When you try to explain to them that well, we're on course for the bottom of the North Atlantic, they get all huffy and start calling you names. When you ask them to help lower the lifeboats and evacuate passengers, they fuzz up and refuse, continuing to go on about how they're supposed to be going to New York City.

Unfortunately, the analogy runs awry here because the people who didn't get in the lifeboats from Titanic drowned, whereas we're stuck with people like Karen De Coster and Llewellyn Rockwell, and there's no ocean to conveniently drown them in. (That's a joke. I don't advocate drowning my political opponents. Instead, I wish them long life and health, so that they may see their ideas fail and mine succeed. Yay.)

Call me a statist or whatever (I'd prefer that to be capitalized since I'm quite fond of Virginia) but I'm not crazy about asking a private security firm to handle the front-line defense of the 48 continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii, plus everywhere else our people are. There are some things that just don't turn a profit at the end of each quarter, and I think the DOD's one of those things.

Oh well. I'll have links to this stuff sooner or later.
