Twice in the past year, the service seems to have misplaced sensitive nuclear components, including nuclear-tipped missiles that flew across the U.S. unbeknownst to the chain of command. Its chief of staff, General Michael Moseley, was implicated last week in a bizarre plot to steer a $50 million contract to friends to develop ground-based entertainment for use during shows by the Air Force Thunderbirds precision-flying team.

...appears: a little boy, dancing and donning bling and a strategically placed wad of cash. At least Lil’ Wil doesn’t forget the children. This is pretty much the entirety of the three-minute “My Dougie” video, whose complexity in plot can only be compared with its complexity in lyrics. “My Dougie,” however, does manage to make some magic: as the video progresses, the hos amazingly multiply more times than Lil’ Wil can repeat the eponymous catch phrase in the course...
