Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

It’s like, y’know, like easy money, Dude

So, this 22-year-old guy in Miami Beach runs his so-called business out of a little office with no sign on the door, and guess what?

He gets a contract from the Pentagon for three hundred million freaking dollars ($300,000,000) to supply stuff to the Afghan army.

He’s just 22, man.  And this dude’s got a police record and all, but, hey, no problem.  And the stuff he’s peddling to the Afghans is mostly outdated crap he’s scavenged from here and there. Just junk, y’know.

No lie.  Check it out HERE. Pretty cool, huh? 

But one bad thing, man.  Yeah, the 300 mil is our bread — y’know, like taxpayers’ dough.  Bummer.

    I have seen no play on this story other than the article in the NY Times. Guess the ‘liberal’ media missed this one. If the table were turned, the right wing nutcases would be singing the blues about how unfair the media is (in their opinion).
