Sarah Palin Loves Her Some Yellow Submarine
Listen in right here!

Palin Dress Up Set
Mix and match all sorts of classic outfits for the former governor from hockey to business suits. Fair warning though, none of them are from Neiman Marcus
Enter Palin, Sarah and her deep expertise in military strategy and support. From small town mayor to half term quitter governor, Palin is now musing on how Obama is destroying our mightyness abroad by cutting military spending (which is not even happening by the way, even though it should).
Palin’s delusional rationale is that by reducing spending we will cease to be a military superpower. NBL questions what the bug deal is and why Americans are so obsessed with being a military power anyway, when the world has changed and military is not where the real power is anyway.
What is really bizarre is the granularity that the argument is made in. Specific weapon types are brought up that need funding instead of general military funding. Why is Palin an expert on what specific portions of the military need funding? The biggest argument against her own stance is the opinion of the Secretary of Defense. He holds the opposite view. Enough said.
For the first time in NBL history Noam Chomsky has reared his head. It will not be the last. His views on American Imperialism and over militarization are a common theme in NBL discussions. The United States spends more money than any nation in the world on its military. If it were up to people like Palin, that would only increase. In a world where we are falling behind in so many areas that matter more, people just can not get over their ego maniacal obsession with the size of the nation’s virtual penis.

That is unreal that the US accounts for 40+% of all military spending worldwide! Can you post a link to that report?

Agreed. I would like that link also. Cool magnet set. Where is that from? Looks like you found that in a store somewhere.

Thanks for the feedback! You are right, we forgot to include that resource. The numbers come from the site globalissues.org but specifically come from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute Yearbook research project. Here is a link to a chart on the matter:
