An Experiment in Adjusting an Alcohol-based Reality Filter.
The more beer you drink, the more the world seems to make sense. I'm not sure if this is the beer's fault, or the world's. Experiments proceed.
For pigeonholing purposes, I consider myself a South Park Conservative: I believe in Loose Women and Tight Borders but I'm getting anime porn and legally mandated lounges for day laborers...further adjustment to the model may be needed.

Navy's Aegis Air/Missile Defense System Teetering on Brink of Failure...
According to Navy Times, the Aegis Air Defense System aboard the USN's Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers is showing a steadily-increasing level of failures and unsatisfactory performance.
The principal culprit appears to be the Navy's byzantine procurement and supply system dedicated to supporting Aegis, a system so arcane and convoluted that ship commanders and weapon systems officers just cannot order necessary parts and support materials.
The result is that Aegis overall cannot perform as its advocates for the BMD role hope.
This problem is exacerbated by personnel drawdowns in the Fleets as the Navy struggles to meet budget targets. Many ships' Aegis systems are being operated by sailors struggling in assignments one and even two grades above their rank and training. Ironically, as the Navy reduces the number of sailors at the sharp end, the number of admirals to bust their chops is increasing. While our young men and women at sea are working the wonders they always do, the dockside Decaturs of the "Potomac Fleet" are making it harder and harder for them to do their jobs.
So when Commander-in-Chief Obama promises to send Aegis ships to provide our allies with ballistic missile defense, it might behoove them not to examine that gift too closely. Like most things this Administration champions, it looks good, it sounds good... but it doesn't work as advertised.
...Someone put up a little motivational placard at M Street Coffee suggesting that we all treat everyone we meet as though they were going to be dead by midnight. I can go along with that.
But what the hell am I supposed to do with all these watches, wallets and shoes?
