New. Stuff. All lightweight and titanium and all. Point, click, Zap.

Nice color photos of the innards, contractor's video showing the featurz, weight, sizes - exotic materials, range, explosive size and shape. Microwave surface mount transistors on those shiny gold waveguides.

Those neat camera fotos that end in static -- extra points if it goes down the smokestack without touching the sides -- as it kills a power plant and electricity for the city. All those neat strategic targets which we'll rebuild later -- with the % of their oil-$$ we deem appropriate for them to keep, natch. (Or if that ain't enough, CitiBank will lend them the balance at CC rates)

Can't start modernizing their CC thinking any too early; they're gonna Love Burger King too - don'cha just know? And Bullitt reruns (royalties to RIAA, of course - coin slot in each Tee Vee, I hear - bein built with Arabic labels somewhere in Texas)

Maybe the troops can watch it real-time on their laptops at 1600 x 1200, in color.. and CBS will sorta tie-in so's it can preempt Cheers for a few minutes each night.. to keep us informed and 'tained.

Yep, the excitement is a buildin' - especially with the sit-com plots now so boring: we decidedly Need that Excitement and, we're gonna Get It. (While going to exotic new lands, meeting interesting people and killing them\ufffd \ufffd - Hey.. who'da thunk we could re-use them there slogans from Nam.. over and over!)

My spectrometer sez that the positive ions in the local air seem a bit on the increase -- them'r the ones that make folks soggy, mean and hard to light like. Cause or effect? Not to worry though - lots o' folks are gonna Love US to death, in a few weeks.

I can feel it.
I can feel it..
Dave.
Please stop.
Stop, please.
I can feel it...
