Next up - Project Edgar - designed to defend our seaports, when an enemy vessel is detected, a huge bulbous, donut-shaped blob bellyflops into the port, starting a tus...tzu...tsu...tidal wave.
With millions from Homeland Security
we can safeguard America's purity.
With our feet on the ground
We can patrol day and night
What a beautiful sight -
when the drones take flight.
Oh, oh, ohhhh
Let's go fly a drone
up near the thin ozone
Let's go fly a drone and send it searching.
Up through the atmosphere
Keeping travelers free from fear..
Oh let's go...fly a drone!
When you send it patrolin' up there
Up above, you're guardin' the air
Tho' Dave has a bad feeling...
"Project Chloe" ain't exactly appealing
What a beautiful sight -
when the drones take flight.
Oh, oh, ohhhh
Let's go fly a drone
up past the blue ozone
Let's go fly a drone and send it patrolling.
Up through the atmosphere
Keeping travelers free from fear..
Oh let's go...fly a drone!
Also...what bucket said. And shouldn't secret anti-terrorist defence plans be kept...errrrr...well....secret? I mean, why give a project a code name and then turn around and issue press releases about it.
WriterDude, obviously the bribe I paid you to keep the picture away from cyber space wasn't enough. I'll plot my revenge and when you least expect it, whammo!
Huh? What bribe? Oh, yeah -- you bought lunch while I wasn't looking. Guess I wasn't clear on the terms. But we can always replace that shot with one from your phone.
The drones would shoot the missile firers in the thigh...

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff's favorite TV show, 24
*shakes head and sighs*

this project will be dropped next week after it is revealed that chloe is the leaker

I guess I'm glad I don't live too conveniently near the airport, you know, where the 're-directed' missiles will be excavating swimming pools!

At least they didn't call it Project Audrey...
Posted by: Siouxie | March 26, 2007 at 06:08 PM
Shoot, hell. They'll taser 'em repeatedly just for being annoying. It's a sport.
Posted by: DeskDiva | March 26, 2007 at 06:09 PM
Does it have a laser guided taser?
Posted by: Siouxie | March 26, 2007 at 06:12 PM
The planes will 'stink-eye' the missiles into oblivion.
....Chertoff liking '24' worries me too.

I wonder if the Homeland Security Officer knows that the torture scenes on 24 are not realistic?

Everyone working on Project Chloe will be required to frown and wear ugly green sweaters.

Yer doin' a heckuva job, Cleo!

But they set up a perimeter. Nothing can get through...
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | March 26, 2007 at 06:25 PM
Do they have to go through TSA checkpoints before they can take off? If so, I don't think they'll ever get off the ground...

Yeah, what Bucket said. That is one very scary piece of information.

I don't care what they call it. Just don't let Jack land it.
