Environmentalists Find New Way To Attack Navy

Inflatable rafts and paint cans have become outdated artillery in the war against the U.S. Navy. The days of blocking warships by crazy environmentalists just may be over. Instead of manning fire hoses, the Navy now has to lawyer up to protect itself from the radical left.

When the Supreme Court goes back in session, they will be hearing a case that the Navy violated environmental laws with its sonar training program. The Navy was charged with conducting preparedness training exercises without the proper environmental approvals. The operations were deemed absolutely necessary to make sure the Navy was ready to perform its job.

If you read the environmental sights, you will see a common theme of how terrible sonar is. According to them, many marine mammals die from the operations the Navy conducts off the coast of Southern California. Sounds unfortunate but is misleading. Actually, the animals are normally only temporarily stunned. Most just turn and swim the other way. There has been no factual information that the training exercises kill numerous marine mammals. The Navy actually goes to great pains to ensure the animals are as safe as possible.

In other words, some wackos out there believe that fish swimming in another direction is more outrageous than our military being able to protect us.

Number Crunching

Numbers, numbers and more numbers. We sure have been hearing a lot about numbers these days. Everything from how much debt we are racking up to what amount we threw away on saving companies that went bankrupt anyway.

Here's a number for you to ponder...

1,529,635,000.

What could it be?

Daily national debt? Nope. The number of times Gibbs has said "uh" or "um" since becoming Press Secretary? Nope. Amount of hair plugs in Biden's head? Nope. Number of illegal aliens running freely across the border with Swine Flu? Nope. Pixels in the teleprompter that is running the country? Nope. Nope, not the number of gallons of fuel Air Force One has burned on joy rides for campaign contributors either.

It is though, the number of rounds of ammunition that were sold in the month before the new President was sworn into office. If that does not tell you something, nothing will.

He Has His Hands Full

Man has long been perplexed by the opposite sex and their affinity for footwear. Many years ago a closet was a closet. Now, a closet is its own room. Shoes are to blame. The trend has shifted slightly but has always stayed focused on one goal. She who hath the most amount and the most expensive shoes wins.

It should come at no great surprise that the First Lady would buy into this gender specific orientation. It was probably coded into her genetics and passed down from mother to daughter. So be it. If you can afford to throw money at shoes, go for it.

Unfortunately though, there really should be some sort of protocol for wearing a $540 pair of sneakers while volunteering at a food bank. Yes she did. Between Joe Biden and Michelle Obama, the President really has his hands full.
