Snakebit.

I just watched reports of a devastating explosion at a fertilizer plant in Waco.

Coming on the heels of the terrorist attack in Boston, the ricin letters to the senate, the madman in N. Korea, the just announced deployment of 1st Armored Division's Headquarters staff, the ongoing effects of the sequester (did you hear about the layoffs of civilian employees of the DoD and the reduction in force of Airmen), and the war in Afghanistan....

It really looks like the US of A.  My country.  Is snakebit.  I ranted about us needing to stop being soft and to focus on real issues instead of the made up issues DC has been tossing at the public, but I didn't think that my wish would turn into this kind of reality.

For better or worse we better saddle up.  Things are looking dicey if you take everything together (and I know I left some important stuff out) and we aren't even at the halfway point of this year.

Wow.  Wow in a bad way.
