Too true.

Asteroids? Strap engines on ‘em, bring ‘em over to L4 or L5, and smelt em, especially the nickel-iron ones. But first, we have to find ‘em. Before they are too close to steer.

Nice as it would be to “ban the bomb” (and yes, this is Hiroshima Day), remember the civilization that banned the bow and arrow. Never heard of them? Maybe that’s why.

^And they still prefer to keep it that way. If we never hear of them, we can’t invade them.

And here I was afraid I was the only one to sense a distinct trend in American politics to try to re-start the Cold War.

Ah, the Good Old Days….

For the Asteroid problem we need to make sure Bruce Willis remains alive so that we can shoot him and a small band of extras up to the asteroid, have them detonate a nuke in the center of it and split it into pieces that will narrowly miss the Earth.

JADE, but one piece hits the midwest and FEMA ignores it.

^ Ahem… no one cares, not until the second movie comes out a year later.

I can’t wait…

I think Republicans are aliens. They don’t think or act like “normal” humans. They probably even control the “military, industrial, intelligence, laboratory complex.” But they’re hardly more “advanced.”

There’s a new show starting on Discovery Channel called Bad Universe, hosted by Phil Plait, an astronomer who runs the “Bad Astronomy” blog, and it looks like one of his first shows will discuss the “blow up the asteroid on a collision course” idea. He HATES that stupid movie, by the way. Here’s the trailer: http://tinyurl.com/347nbce.

flagged another one, hee hee

I flagged it too, but it’s still there. How long do we have to wait?

A super link, super. I laughed and laughed. Then I cried and cried.

”@*# americans !”

so true…

LET TEXAS SECEDE!

^ be my guest…

“If Quebec seceedes, we have a plan; let them seceede, manage to be annexed by them, and then rename the whole place Canada.”

Better dead than Texan.

What’s the old adage - if one only has a hammer in one’s toolbox, all problems look like a nail ? Besides, the «nuke’em all» turn of mind allows those running the show to continue the enormous transfer of funds from the poor and the so-called «middle class» to the super-rich and their errand boys : the lobbyists and the legislators they have bought and paid for and the corporate media. The people who are really getting «nuked» are, in addition to residents of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan - and soon, Iran - ordinary people in the United States. The main difference is that many of the latter are unaware of the fact….
