Maybe they haven't gotten to '98 yet.

The government WON'T let them go under. Too many contracts with FBI, CIA, DOD - and, who's gonna buy them? furriners?

At least it's given cable news something else to talk about. That turtle with new wheels just about wore me out.

I had CNBC on, but just for background noise. LOL
