A Lesson From Albert Speer and Stupidity From The Pentagon

[quote] Our supplies of diesel fuel is being compromised in Pakistan: apparently our fuel is delivered to Afghanistan by truck through Pakistan with only light Pakistani security. Whether the Taliban forces are actually applying military history lessons or they are just taking advantage of our weakest point, their latest tactic can possibly bring our war effort to a grinding halt. This tactic was outlined by Albert Speer in his memoir “Inside The Third Reich”.

The nonbinding resolution, passed 273-126, states that the sanctions imposed by a U.S. District Court judge on Ira Magaziner in December should not come out of public funds.”

Anonymous Tip:
Mike Vanderboegh over at SipseyStreet posted this thread, concerning comments regarding the New Black Panther Party made by some miscreant revolutionary-blogger wannabe, going by the name of “Colin Ferguson” - the guy that shot up the Long Island train and killed a bunch of white people out of hate.
Again - probably just bullshiesse, but in the interests of safety, thought I’d pass it on.
http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2010/10/another-country-heard-from-exterminate.html
Here’s a sample:
“Wrong white man. Its time we make way for a new immigrant arrival and clear some space. Tracts of land need to be reclaimed as the rightful property of people ,large tracts of the south must be cleared to make way for the new immigrant arrivals. It is now possible to make a quantum leap from capitalism to Socialism. Progressive Democrats have built on its standings in the polls, by standing full square for the interests of the working class.The American people needs a socialist programme and Barack has challenged the capitalist system. Understand this white man, the socialist transformation of society is at hand and there is nothing you or any other whitey can do about it. It is you and your kind that are the haters, the destroyers. You are the real enemy and its you and your kind that must be destroyed.
The exploiters need to be liquidated as a class, p3skyking ....Honorary.... Fabian Society member.”
If this is inidicative of the level of hate coming at us from the hardcore Obie supporters, there’s a serious problem heading our way fast. [snip]

Remembering a Great Milton Friedman Moment — Spoons
Governor Describes Film Subsidies as Jobs Program, so “Why Not Give Them Spoons?”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2605416/posts
There’s a story from the 1960s about the late economist Milton Friedman visiting a large public works project in a third world country that was funded by U.S. foreign aid. Given the substantial investment, the famous economist was surprised to see thousands of men with shovels moving dirt one spadeful at a time. He asked his host, “Why don’t they use bulldozers?”
“It creates more employment this way,” came the response.
“Ah, it’s a jobs program,” said Friedman, who had imagined the taxpayer dollars were being provided to improve productivity and living standards...
“Then why not give them spoons instead of shovels?”
