Los Alamos Runs Out of Clever Insults

The NYT reports that more troubles are afoot at Los Alamos National Laboratory as director George P. Nanos  suspended 19 employees on Thursday for "losing" some important Zip drives and attempting to create a mutant race of X-men with laser eyes:

This summer, an intern's eye was injured by a laser, and on July 7, two Zip drives containing classified information were found to be missing.

Apparently, Nanos needs help with his insults:

Dr. Nanos said that some employees had written their congressman to complain that he had called them cowboys and even more insulting terms.

Cowboys? I'm outraged. That kind of language can only escalate. What next, girly man, republican, astronaut? Nanos, you're surely going to Hell.
