Default Re: Buy Blue

From here:

So, on Xmas day, after you've unwrapped some of our recommended gifts, or more standard fare like that new DVD player from General Electric (the 8th largest DoD contractor which brought "good things to life" for the military last year to the tune of $2.8 billion), a new Xbox videogame system (from DoD contractor Microsoft), a high-tech Roomba Discovery SE robot vacuum cleaner (from iRobot which sells "pack-bots" to the military and has partnered with DARPA to make swarming mini-robots), a new cell phone from Motorola (which raked in more than 283 million Pentagon dollars last year), or any gift sealed with Scotch tape (made by 3M which has been working on weapons systems like the Army's OH-58 Kiowa helicopter), and after you've polished off that Butterball turkey or Cook's brand Ham (both from DoD contractor ConAgra Foods) and those Pillsbury Xmas cookies (from DoD contractor General Mills), you can sit back and relax with the knowledge that the military-corporate complex is having another happy holiday -- or you and your friends can gather around a roaring fire (or the glow of the new plasma TV) and sing this little ditty to the tune of "Let It Snow":


Oh, the war in Iraq is frightful,
But for Lockheed and pals it's delightful,
Since the Pentagon continues to pay,
Let 'em stay, let 'em stay, let 'em stay.


Insurgents show no signs of stopping,
Americans can't stop AK's from popping,
Since it keeps Boeing's prices high,
occupy, occupy, occupy.


When there's a bombing or firefight,
It means moo-lah galore for GE,
And ev'ry IED laid at night,
means they're buyin' a brand new Humvee


As long as some Black Hawks keep crashin',
The Complex can really cash in,
More war equals much more dough,
Let's not go, never go, let's not go.
