Item:&#160 The US Air Force just awarded a refueling tanker contract to a consortium between Northrup-Gruman and Airbus.

Item:&#160 Boeing and the city of Seattle aren’t taking it too well.&#160 Washington governette-by-judicial-fiat bimboid Chrissie Gregoire is threatening a protest, and it wouldn’t surprise me if she tried to file a lawsuit, as well.

Reaction:&#160 That’s the liberal/union mentality for you:&#160 A sense of entitlement just because…well, because they’re union.

2nd reaction:&#160 Bet they’re sorry they found those 700 votes in King County now, aren’t they?&#160

2 responses to “US awards contract to Northrup; Boeing throws hissy”

  1. David Hartung says:

    I don’t know about the entitlement thing. It is my understanding that the Airbus offering is superior to the Boeing one. I suspect that Boeing got just a little too comfortable.

    The other question I have is what will Grumman do if EADS were to fold because of international tensions? Remember, EADS is a multinational consortium of three countries who historically don’t get along.

  2. I don’t work for Boeing, but I question the wisdom of sending a defense contract to foreign companies.

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?

And don't even  get me started on Opera or Chrome.  I'm not about  to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
