RadioShack's New Commercial
I think the last time I went in a Radio Shack was sometime around 2003ish. I remember it distinctly because I wanted to buy plain old AA batteries, and it was the closest store. I hadn't been to one of their stores in a while and was surprised when they asked me for name, address, and phone number. To buy batteries. With cash.
So, I said my name was Jasper P. Whillacker the Third, with a 555 phone number, and living at 123 Fake Street. The clerk evidently got a lot of that. Just asked me if I wanted to reconsider and give my real name/info, I said no, so he used some fallback customer ID and let me check out. Went back a few more times over the next 2-3 years (it was close to my house at the time), and the same dude always remembered not to ask about name/info ... so I guess that is something.

A-10 attacks taliban positions in Afghanistan
I disagree. A-10's do fly low, often below AA capabilities to shoot, or even radar's ability to 'see' them.
They are designed to be tank busters, so not really the ideal equipment against militia, but would actually be useful against Iran and N Korea (after we smart bomb their AA emplacements and radar...just in case) which both have tons of older tanks, the kind the A-10 is designed to destroy. They worked great against Saddam, and he had the largest tank army in the world and plenty of AA (at the beginning)!
EDIT: Since no one else did, I'll have to mention my favorite thing about the A-10, which is that it's 'gun' is so powerful that it must be used in small bursts, because it significantly slows the plane down and could cause it to stall! That's just awesome!
I think the problem is that we never know who we'll be fighting next. A-10s fly low and slow, and would be completely vulnerable to an enemy with moderate AA capabilities. Sure, maybe we're "lucky" and the next war is against a ragtag militia in the mountains that can't shoot them down. But if we butt heads with Iran or North Korea, the A-10s all have to stay home.

And they are phasing that model out.. A10 is simple and it works but nah, they want something hi-tech to keep the budget staggeringly high. It's like replacing every spoon in your house with robots that don't know what soup is.
