It's 7:10 AM. I'm sitting at the desk staring out the window trying to prod the muse into something readable. It's funny how the muse works. Some of my best writing comes to me when I sit down an hour before the deadline and just let it flow. The stuff I ponder over and fidget with to perfection many times goes over like a lead balloon.

I seem pretty brain dead this morning. Probably because I've been doing brain dead things like gardening and landscaping all week. But there has been an idea rolling around my head like a boulder bouncing through a rock crusher. So here goes.

Howdy folks! This is an article that I wrote back in 2012 when I was posting at another website. It came to mind last Friday when we were having a discussion in The Evening Blues of an article about certain delusional congressmen who would like to add an additional branch to the military services - the Space Corps. Space is currently the purview of the Air Force.

As you will see in the article that I am posting here in deference to those who would prefer not to give Kos' House of Hillarity a click, space has been on the minds of those infected with military madness for quite a while, as they intend it to be the launch pad for planetary full spectrum dominance.
