Saber rattling

After my 2nd or third flat today from truck tire debris in "the bike lane" I was idly thinking, along the lines of many other such silly ideas, that if Kim Jong-un can "rattle his saber" and immediately get the American govt to spend an ADDitional $1 Billion on a missile defense system that might work, maybe 50% of the time against unsophisticated enemies, maybe, that wouldn't it be cool if I could "rattle my frame pump" and get the American govt to spend any amount of (additional, in some cases) money on making walking and biking safer for Americans?

When I relayed this idle thought to some fellow cyclists in the bar one of them immediately said "You're gonna need a bigger frame pump".
No doubt!

(Shades of the movie "Jaws" - "we're gonna need a bigger boat!")

(And I know that the "baby despot" has been raised in a crazy way by a crazy father and likely has both no real connection to what we call "reality" and his itchy finger on "the trigger" while listening to "Gangnam style" cranked up way too loud for his servant's pleasure...and that a lot of good, innocent people have died for stupider reasons - and we need to take this crazy boy seriously.)

(But still, my point remains - the American govt should do more for "we the people" and less for "we the corporate and ultra-wealthy campaign contributors".)
