WTF?

The Air Force Office of Scientific Research recently began funding a new research area that includes a study of blogs. Blog research may provide information analysts and warfighters with invaluable help in fighting the war on terrorism.

Oh, lChrist.  I’m moved to respond.

Dear Air Force:

Are you fucking insane?  Have you lost all your marbles?  You have incredible investigative tools in your arsenal.  Hell, you have an arsenal at your disposal. 

So you think that, in order to defeat al Qaeda, it’s worthwhile to analyze blogs?  Regular Americans’ blogs?  Don’t you know who bloggers are?  They’re just people with opinions and too much free time.

Please, oh please.  Let the grown-ups run government again.
