On "The Word" segment of his show last night, Stephen Colbert had an interesting take on the Air Force "comfort capsules":
"...I was happy to hear the Air Force wants to use $16.2 million of anti-terror money to design in-flight 'comfort capsules' so generals and government VIPs can travel on military planes in 'world class' comfort. Now, before you rush to judgment over the words 'comfort capsule,' you should know they're also known as 'luxury pods.' Isn't that better? A number of generals were involved in their design, like suggesting the type of carpet. You see, fighting terrorism requires sacrifice; but flying coach?! (And they say waterboarding is torture...)"
