Americans first

Got some breakfast cereal that looks like dog food? I know, let’s give it to Mikey! We remember the cute commercial from the last century, but what about some high-tech microwave beam weapon that knocks large numbers of people down writhing on the ground in pain and nausea?

We have such a weapon says Air Force Chief of Staff Michael Wynne and we should hesitate before using it on the battlefield because we don’t want to get sued by some Taliban jihadist who might be unduly harmed by it. Instead, Wynne says we should use it on unruly mobs here in the US.

I’m not making this up, I’m reading it on CNN.com as reported by AP this morning. Now just what mobs of American citizens does Wynn expect and when does he expect them to be out on the streets with pitchforks? What are they planning?

What with his electronic spying and shadowy wars without end and uncatchable bearded enemies and cameras in the sky and sci-fi death beams, Big Brother is looking less and less brotherly every day.
