Quote for the Day:

Here's the stinker in the math: Twenty billion bucks to lease the jets is about four times what it would have cost the air force to buy them. Also, it will cost us taxpayers $3 billion more to convert the commercial planes to tankers. And in ten years the planes will have to be reconverted to commercial use (yet another $3 billion) and returned to Boeing. All in the name of fighting terrorists.
