An accidentally true Headline

A Weekly Standard blog entry highlighting the latest "grassroots" Obama hit-piece ad from the hilariously named Concerned Veterans of America is headlined:

Concerned Vets Ad: A New Low

(the name of the ad is 'a new low')


The Concerned Veterans for a Concerned America of Concern is quite concerned that the interest payment on the national debt will soon exceed the defense budget. Why that is particularly significant, or even concerning, is a mystery.

But it is funny that they are using the defense budget as an example of a preposterously large OMG sort of number.
