This is extra scary news headlines.

ANTIWAR.com has reprinted an article that gives a very good overview of the horrible mess that America's war mongers have visited upon the Syrian people over the past several years.

I have to admit I was somewhat surprised at the identity of the author, David Stockman, a name that is very familiar to those of us who were around during the Reagan Era.

Stockman was widely perceived to be the most sane of the Reagan Team when it came to understanding that you cannot balance the budget when you are cutting tax revenue at the same time you are increasing military spending dramatically. It appears David has come around quite a bit since the time he willingly served the most unhinged Cold Warrior of his time: Ronald Reagan.

It's that time of the year. Time for sequels. Soon there will be a new Transformers movie, or Avengers movie, or some other Gawd awful monstrosity with the same predictable plot, but with a bigger budget and more explosions.
