BUSINESS IS BOOMING! What's Your Problem?

Yeah, they publish these INCREDIBLE NUMBERS you'll find below. SCROLL DOWN Turnips! Get it? Turnips, blood, can't get blood from a turnip, but they still find ways to?

Right here at http://www.defense.gov/contracts/contract.aspx?contractid=4699

Its not their fault if you didn't have a clue about which economy is absolutely raging!

Business is business unless you're one of the unfortunates who's {ahem}, getting the business, if you know what I mean.

99% -- Check Please?! Sorry, there's no checking for you, only checking on you.
1% -- Put it on my tab {snicker} hee hee; their tab. {Furrrart!!!} HaHaHaHa! taxpayers.

Where do you find stuff like this? Well, at places like this -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Perl See, he's been Director of BAE since 2003. Shut up! Someone has to!

And guys and gals just like him are found at places like this -- http://www.reasoned.org/e_pnac.htm

You have to scroll down for the partial list of Known PNAC family members, and then, if you're curious, you go to wikiwhatever, and start bringing up names, and reading their bio's, and what they've done, how they've served America (not your America), THEIR America, and you see all the neat people they know, the companies they've worked for, the ivy league schools they've attended.

Its like a BIG FAMILY really! And we should be so proud of them, because they all seem to be doing so very well these days. You say you have no "connections"? Waaahhh, crybaby! Imagine all the well-to-do folks working at these companies? There's putting meat on the table; and there's putting MEAT on-the-table Baby! And its always better when its someone else's meat. Chew on that! (I didn't say it. They might have said it. Perhaps, I'm just repeating what They Said? Is that illegal? I may have just thought it. Is that illegal? Thinking is so confusing these days...)

Wouldn't it be neat to find out what they're doing now? Actually, wikiwhatever will tell you a lot. So will search engines -- if you wanted to know. There's all these "connections" between PNACers' anyways, so you just click on the blue name, and Voila! You're Surfing Dudes! Hey, if someone put all their info into a spread sheet, I bet fascinating "CONNECTIONS" could be found. Maybe even a MATRIX?! That'd be cool! Kinda like a SPY THRILLER or something?! Sounds like work though. Good thing so many folks are looking for work! We're all in luck!!!

See -- "Mr. Perle has served as our director (BAE) since January 2003, Bae Information Systems Technology. BAE Systems is a global defence, aerospace and security company employing around 93,500 people worldwide. Our wide-ranging products and services cover air, land and naval forces, as well as advanced electronics, security, information technology, and support services.

General Dynamics Information Technology, Fairfax, Va. BAE Systems Land and Armaments, Santa Clara, Calif, was awarded a $41,955,848 firm-fixed-price contract. And Criterion Systems, Inc, Vienna, Va.

Sweet! Nice score their for the company! Everybody chant -- Defense, Defense, Defense! Who needs an offense when you've got a defense like this?!
