I’d read the Army robots story already, but reader Todd Pearson highlighted a line I’d missed:

Then how come Mike Dukakis was never elected President?

UPDATE: I just realized Todd is fellow blogger, but he didn’t give me a link to his post. Hey, Todd… help me out here!

UPDATE: Got yer link right here. Click on over for Todd’s take.
