He who rambles on about Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer’s dick size, windmill cancer, and turning Gaza into a real-estate play, and thinks he’s saving the county, should have his head examined.

You’d think that the agency’s name—“National Nuclear Security Administration”—might have led someone to at least ask, “Hey, what do these guys do?”
