The Pentagon is trying for a third time to select a company to build refueling tankers...a contract worth tens of billions of dollars over the life of the contract. The NY Times quotes Alabama Senator Richard Shelby (where does he stand on the college loan bill???) as saying the devil's in the details and he will study the new bid announcement to make sure it favors the EADS team that will build in Mobile....er, I mean that it presents a fair playing field for all involved. Shelby obviously wants the planes built in Mobile, as Senators from other states may favor the Boeing proposal. May the best and most fiscally responsible proposal win!

I guess you know where I stand. And we should fill the tankers with Starbucks coffee too.
