TechkNighT_1337 submitted one of the most well spun little news nuggets I've read it awhile: "The amount the U.S. military spends annually on air conditioning in Iraq and Afghanistan: $20.2 billion.

It's what the G-8 has pledged to help foster new democracies in Egypt and Tunisia."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
