that's right. one-fitty.

they said that on ABC the other night. UP TO $150 a month. waiters make more than that shit in TIPS.

we spend more (and i say WE, cuz if you live in the US and pay taxes, or buy shit from businesses that pay taxes, you doin the 'ante up' too) than the next 9 countries in the world do on their militaries COMBINED.

and yet our troops are making sub-minimum, getting shitty health care (after our pedophile uncle, Sam, gets at em), and being put in harm's way to fight optional wars with countries that ain't even effing with us.

each 'smart bomb', the tomahawk cruise missiles, cost over $1M. they licked off about 500 of them joints on the first day of "shock and awwww sh*t". half a billion. like it wasn't a think. when it comes to the hardware, they spending like Jermaine Dupri and Puffy on they birthday.

its obscene. i support the troops by requesting that they're asses be promptly brought back here.



peace & blessings,
