SNL's Andy Samberg wins contract to arm US military

Well, it looks like him anyway.

The point is, just when it seems like the Bush Administration can reach no further nadir in competence, another jaw-dropping abomination hits the news.

The story here is that a 22-year old kid won a $300 million contract to provide ammunition to US and Afghan forces in Afghanistan.

"So what?" I hear a strangled cry.  Good on him, if he can do the job...

Since then, the company has provided ammunition that is more than 40 years old and in decomposing packaging...

However, according to his MySpace page, he is a "super nice guy!!!"  (Yes, three exclamation points)

And girls... he's available!!!!

Who I'd like to meet:
a sweet pretty girl with a good attitude and love for life , a woman that will stand by her man because she knows he would do the same for her no matter the circumstance

Reliable contacts with discount international munitions suppliers is a definite plus...

...Diveroli is speaking to Kosta Trebicka, an Albanian businessman, about Ylli Pinari, director of an Albanian agency in charge of arms exports.

Diveroli says he "can't play monkey business with the mafia ... and all those fucking guys in Albania" because his contract is with the US government and "everyone is watching me."

Trebicka, who was acting as a middle man for the deal, said "Pinari and his mafia guys ... will create lots of problems," but he tried to calm the young AEY president.

Extra points for a girl willing to go the extra yard for her man...

Diveroli stresses to Trebicka the need to push a Pinari to go through with a a sale of material, according to the recording.

"Call him up, beg him, kiss him, whatever..." Diveroli tells his Albanian contact. "Send one of your girls to fuck him... Let's get him happy. Maybe he gives you one more chance to do the job. No?"

Snark aside... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY?????
