“Your Tax Dollars At Work”
Pentagon fails audit. Again.
I am starting to feel like William Proxmire, who annually handed out Golden Fleeces for wasteful government spending.

Boeing again
I realized that I really am old when I was telling one of my kids that Boeing and McDonnell-Douglas ruled the skies. Why?
