DISQUS

I'm no defense geek or Navy veteran, but the Zumwalt just sounds crazy. To defend shallow waters the obvious solution is to use smaller, lighter ships. They won't need as deep of water and they won't form a huge, aircraft carrier sized target that'd be indefensible against a coordinated assault by exactly the kind of missiles Hezbollah used. Giving 'stealth' capability to something that big is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If you need more firepower, add two older destroyers for half the price further out, or an aircraft carrier to provide air support. But keep the big ships far from shore.

I could be wrong, but this article assumes the Zumwalt is the natural solution without explaining why. Google provides lots of commentators who disagree. The impression I get from the article is that Congress is trying to protect contractors in their districts.

Does no one at FOX News remember the fun they had with John Edwards' $400 haircuts?

Hadn't seen your other stuff before, but now I'm going to have to find it. You did a great job in Dr Horrible, but I wish you'd been given more forceful last words :)

On a similar note, there are already t-shirts for sale of Dr Horrible, Cap Hammer, and the Hammer shirt. I really want to see a "Penny Lives" t-shirt. After all, coming back from the dead is a superhero genre convention...I work in comics so I even have a plausible plot.

Enjoy the SD Comic-Con. It can be way too big and crazy, but I expect the Brown Coats will take care of you. Feel the love/fandom/slavish devotion!
