Jon Stewart Laments the Loss of the Laser Plane
I don't know about you, but I didn't even know there were laser planes until The Daily Show told me the Defense Department was discontinuing them. It's like they say, you don't know what sci-fi-esque machine of death you got until it's gone. But if you ask me, laser planes are exactly what we need to get out of the recession. Sure they're useless in the current military climate, but they'd make awesome Christmas presents. Start selling laser planes at Walmart, and we'll soon have enough money for ten TARPs.
After the jump, Wyatt Cenac reports on more cuts to the military's RFC: Really Fucking Cool projects.
The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.

Awesome sauce, we are cutting budget in technology so we can go back to old school effective stuff like straping some metal on grunts to throw in the meat grinder, afterall those are cheap~ nice change,,, back to the army we had before the end of vietnam
Well I'm just, well wow… amazed. Not at the clips, no we know Jon's freaking awesome. That is like a fact at this point. This comment is what I'm talking about:
"I wonder what Obama's budget allocation is for his "internal force, as strong and as advanced as the military".
Maybe it's related to all those coffins FEMA has all over your country, or the vacant sites with the razor wire angled in and newly installed massive furnaces?
Read your history, little suburbanite. It ain't crazy to look and see conspiracy."
i mean I've heard some big conspiracy theories in my day (having grown up a red neck and all) but this is right up there. I mean its got everything you want in a big government is coming to get us conspiracy. There is WW2 camp references, suggestions of secret police, fearmongering, references to making coffins, and overall zealous reference to 'open your eyes you fool'.
Now its okay, your a writer for Fox News aren't you? I mean your just testing to see how antsy we get and based on that you'll know how well it'll be received by your watchers. Its okay, just let us know and we'll pour all the content onto it you'll need.
*shakes head*
Its sad when the sanest person around is a comedian…..

I am actually a little disapointed. I mean, I get it, your a comedy show. Not a real news show…despite the fact that the only decent reporting today is on the Daily Show(so sad for us). But, ABL is actually one of the few techs the government was working on that "just costs money". So to save money, they are going to fall back to the "it costs a lot less in money, but can we get one order of magnitude more body bags because they are cheap" expenditures. Its an expensive tech, but one that directly relates to reducing lives in danger. For that I want my taxes to go to them. Just one of those things I guess.
Are you serious? We have the most nuclear weapons of any country and one of the strongest militaries in the world, Obama has just increased the military budget by 4%… and Jon Stewart is a traitor for making fun of the fact that we were seriously considering building a plane with lasers on it? Are you daft? I think you should calm down and use YOUR "brain" before you type garbage like that.
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR A REASONABLE, NUANCED ARGUMENT.
