American Ingenuity

Memo to John Kerry and Charlie Rangel....would you care to revise your comments about the "intelligence" of our troops?

"STRATFORD, N.J. — In an age of multimillion-dollar high-tech weapons systems, sometimes it's the simplest ideas that can save lives. Which is why a New Jersey mother is organizing a drive to send cans of Silly String to Iraq.

Something so simple in a use so ingenious. Only an American military person could come up with it.
