It is as silly to promote fighter pilots for our future defense as it would be to promote musketry. Fighter aircraft are already obsolete.

I don't care what you opine as "silly", or even ignorant, as it relates to supposed obsolete fighter pilots.  The Constitution still trumps your invalid opinions

Manned fighter aircraft are O B S O L E T E!

Not yet they arn't.

Its coming , but it is not here.

One day there will be a lot of pilots who will pilot swarms of aircraft in pitched combat all over the planet from workstations in Idaho.These guys will commute to work every day in cars that are driven by a system built into the highway. War that depends more on robots than flesh might become a better sport and being less painfull to carry on , will be taken a lot more lightly.

It is a bigger change than we can anticipate.
Can you imagine our present carrier fleet refitted to carry drones? Each ship will be able to carry thousands of aircraft , the force projected will be immense.
But of course we will be fighting drones too, and assasins will love them .

There is a new war coming .

Sesame Workshop asks Obama campaign to take down Big Bird ad

By Lisa de Moraes

Sesame Workshop wants the Obama campaign to take down its ad mocking GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's debate promise to cook Big Bird's goose.

 he ad features footage of the giant yellow bird and beloved "Sesame Street" character.

"Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns," the organization said Tuesday in a statement on its Web site.

"We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down,"
the organization added. Obama's campaign is not the only outfit to jump on the  "Sesame Street" story. 

Big Bird made a guest appearance on "Saturday Night Live's" Weekend Update to discuss Romney's debate promise to shoot down Big Bird government funding if he's elected president.

 And Monday's telecast of  "The Daily Show" featured in armed Big Bird, as well as muppet-ish figures of correspondents Wyatt Cenac and John Oliver and faux newsman Jon Stewart, during a comedy bit on Romney's campaign promise to cut off federal funding for PBS. The bit also featured a clip from "Sesame Street" in which Oscar the Grouch snapped at an adorable little girl, who'd said she'd be willing to share her food with a hungry person, "Didn't you read that copy of "Atlas Shrugged" I loaned you"?

Is it any wonder we're seeing such unprecedented swing in polls, acoss the country??  Wow.  And after just 1 debate performance, an undecided voter in one of those focus groups, summed it up nicely.....  Prior to the debate, Obama was able to define Romney.  Following the debate, Romney was able to define Romney
