I have to stop saying “no homo” for the next few years.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

“In line with today’s needs, the Selective Service System’s structure, programs and activities should be re-engineered toward maintaining a national inventory of American men and, for the first time, women, ages 18 through 34, with an added focus on identifying individuals with critical skills…”

Inventory? The staffer who chose that word should be looking for a job in retail right now. Jesus Christ.

But there’s more: In a time of tightening budgets, the Selective Service System was given an 8% increase in the FY2005 budget. I don’t imagine that it’s for cushy new offices.

Since the odds of me serving in a military under the current Commander-in-Chief are nonexistent, I either have to make “Don’t Ask / Don’t Tell” work for me, or start doing massive amounts of drugs again.
