For absurdity, how about those four Navy F-18s flying over the stadium - with its retractable roof closed? Everybody inside could only see the planes on the stadium’s video screens. It was strictly a two-second beauty shot. Know what it cost taxpayers? I’ll tell you: $450,000. (The Navy justifies the expense by saying it’s good for recruiting.)

Emphasis mine. It is disgusting and morally repugnant that the government will spend $450,000 on a stupid flyover that the people in the stadium can’t even see, while schools and libraries are having their budgets slashed all across America.

$450,000 to fly four planes over Arlington while homeless below people were being rounded up and taken away so as not to offend the good Christian Americans watching the game.

Undercover Nun lives in Virginia Beach, just a few miles from NAS Oceana, whence these jets flew.  That’s right, part of that $450,000 was to bring Navy fighter aircraft from Virginia Beach to Arlington, Texas, to fly over a domed stadium that cost billions (with a B) of dollars to build.

While the homeless and hungry were rounded up and taken away, so that they wouldn’t detract from the festive atmosphere.

May God have mercy on our souls.
