Simply the best. If you have not gone to the Reagan Library, it is an absolute must. A beautiful place that captures the history one of THE most consequential men of the last century.

Not a dream, a steely eyed commitment. And the press & the left hated him for this and everything he stood for. Just as much as they hate GWB right now.

That was a scene from Real Genius.Not Wiered Science. That was a fantastic 80's movie.

Frying nukes upon launch. What a great concept. Now if we can test them on Hezbollah demonstrators....

...extending their range beyond line of sight, the company said.

Wow!

When fully placed in orbit, this sytem will enable a "shot...'round the world"---at the speed of light---toward any designated target.

Bush could sit in his oval office and simply punch a button for each target, and it (and only it) would be destroyed before the enemy could say WTF.
