New Vodkapundit member Will Collier got kind of fed up with a recent New York conversation about Iraq:
bq. "I mean, $86 billion? What the [deleted] is that? What the hell is he doing spending all that money over there? We could be fillin' potholes with that."
Mmm hmm. Loved Will's reaction.
"We could be fillin' potholes with that."
Nothing like potholes filled with $100 bills.
Lileks had a similar comment (although in his usual understated style) when talking about a recent viewing of "Three Days of the Condor." He mentioned the moralizing that the Redford character does at the end of the movie, and then reminds us that several shots of the city show the World Trade Center towers... funny how much of the moralizing rings hollow today.
