Production of the Crown Victoria will end in 2011.
Does that mean production of the Grand Marquis and Town Car will end then too?
(A few years ago Ford said they were gonna cancel the Town Car, but they changed their minds.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

One of the local towns has Dodge Charger police cars in good old black and white and they look positively bad-ass.
Yeah, I agree. Evanston has had them as cop cars for a few years now.

I would think so, but I don't know. If they are going to keep putting out cars on that platform, I can't imagine they wouldn't keep making police interceptors.

ION, Robot Wars: The 6 scariest unmanned aerial vehicles
This one is the newest and hasn't flown yet:
X47B
Behold the future of aerial drones — this one could be the scariest of them all. It's designed to be launched either from land or catapult-launched from ships, and could be refueled in midair, letting it fly indefinitely. This stealthy 19-foot-long aircraft will have the smarts to carry out its own missions, and the looks to carry 4500 pounds of bombs, missiles, and surveillance gear. There's even talk of loading it up with lasers and microwave weapons. Look out, everyone, because this is the flying killer robot of your nightmares.

It seems like the days of piloted close support missions are coming to an end.

Yeah, at least for dangerous missions where there's strong anti-aircraft defenses.

HA. Tommyrot = googlefu.
I am back from the DMV where I had a super pleasant DMV worker (who made a special March of Dimes donation card for Grace! With red hearts!) and it took less than hour for TWO transactions AND I was able to get my license renewed early because I already had an appointment.
And in other flowing with bureaucracy news, I have an appointment with social security tomorrow and I got a letter today from Medi-cal saying I needed to go to Social Security and sign her up for Medicare. This, my friends, is serendipity!
(AND we bought another new car seat. Please do not ask how many car seats we have purchased because I lost count around 6, but the one in K's car had a giant slab of sytrofoam fall off that Noah picked up, asking, "What's this?")
