I dunno 'bout NWS, but the "riot gear" the Army is buying is in response to the criticisms of the deadly force they had used overseas when they coulda/woulda/shoulda just beat the snot out people instead of perforating them.
The Army knows they need less-than-deadly force in a lot of instances, but had never been equipped for it, even after 10 years of bullshit in the Balkans.
That's now getting rectified and paranoid delusionals think it's aimed at them.

Assuming the article is true, I guaranty this has to do with politics and money.  Some bubba with DHS has a brother-in-law that works for an ammunition manufacturer/distributor, so he pushed the contract.

That's a theory I would buy...and proof that it's time to dismantle DHS. Last time I heard from them they were playing spokesman to update a giant sinkhole in Louisiana. Next thing we know they'll be prepping for the return of the velociraptor.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I have tried to watch that show and cannot take it. Even as comedic relief, there's just too much distance from reality.

I wish I could have shot the Halloween snowstorm from last year. Between that and Hurricane Irene it really did feel like the end times. At least I finally got a generator because of those storms.

You live such a sheltered life up there. You need to move someplace where rough weather is the rule, not the exception...

Did I mention that each winter from 2007-2010 my house was almost wiped off the map by winter storms?

Oh, cool. OK, you're good. Maybe I'll come visit. It's kinda boring around here. Low last night was 65.

It's 75 right now here. First snow will probably be Thursday.

Even I can't watch it anymore, and THAT's saying something!
