    1. Care package to Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School? I'd rather them send stickers than what they did send.

    2. I am still stuck on $10 million worth of lobster, crab, and golf carts.

    3. Lobster and crab go to the troops, we had surf and turf every so often in Afghanistan. Golf cars are probably for the base golf courses, and maybe for utility needs.

  3. Don't have a problem. Defense is one of the few duties of government. Now do welfare, education, foreign aid, on and on

    One of the ways that journalists knew something was up is that all nighters meant pizza deliveries. Staff does need to eat and get sugar in a crisis.

    From pizza to lobster.

  6. re: Dora the Explorer stickers. Don't forget that the DoD operates over 160 schools in 11 foreign countries and has more than 67,000 students enrolled in those schools. It's one of the biggest school "districts" in the US.
