YOU’VE BEEN WARNED
Coming to a Weapons Plant Near You

The Republicans have launched a two-week “Winning the War on Terror Tour.”

A worldwide military campaign with stops in North Korea, Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia?

No, not exactly.

According to the Washington Post, “Republican officials and decorated veterans will appear at plants that make weapons Sen. John F. Kerry has opposed.”

Cool. I’ll bet they’re going to have really great t-shirts, like the kind fans buy at rock concerts, except on the back, instead of a list of cities visited (New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago . . . ), the shirts will read: Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, General Electric . . .

[Post-publication addendum: While you’re over at the Washington Post web site, try the Veep-o-Matic. It’s neat.]
