Workers examine a B53 nuclear bomb at the B&W Pantex nuclear weapons storage facility outside Amarillo, Texas, in this handout photograph taken and released on October 25, 2011. The United States dismantled the oldest nuclear bomb in its Cold War arsenal -- and one of the most powerful it ever built -- on Tuesday as part of President Barack Obama's nuclear security policy. Built at the height of the Cold War in 1962, the bomb was designed to be dropped onto a target by a massive B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber.

You'd think they could have just saved it for the Vatican..
Methinks a better bulls-eye would have been where the boundaries of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan all come together.
This is a sad day for the republican party. Their false idol is being dethroned.
As they ay, go peddle crazy somewhere else.
The first thing I thought of was Slim Pickins riding the bomb down in Dr. Strangelove. Good riddance to these things.
Of course, some genius will decry their loss because exploding a few would cause a nuclear winter, thereby reversing global warming!! (Hmmm... I may be on to something here!)
Yeah!!.. Global Cooling!
