Ridiculous quote of the day

From the Houston Chronicle:

...

"If Rick Noriega ... had the same amount of money as Cornyn and he had almost equal name identification, I think Cornyn would be in trouble," Flores said.

...
To gauge just how silly that analysis is substitute your own name for Rick Noriega's and then substitute Obama's name for Cornyn. So, "if Merv Benson ... had the same amount of money as Obama and he had almost equal name identification, I think Obama would be in trouble?" What this "analysis" overlooks is that there is a reason why one candidate has more money and name identification than the other. The main one is that he has earned more political support by virtue of his career achievements.

Maybe I should be named dean of the graduate school at St. Mary's. It does not look like Flores got that position by force of his logic. Cornyn is going to win this race because he is the better candidate and better represents Texas value. He is one of the most intelligent members of the Senate and has done a good job and deserves reelection. Noriega on the other hand has sided with the anti war pukes and the anti energy Democrats. That is probably why he is so far behind in raising money and votes.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
