I was thinking: You can call President Bush a lame duck, but apparently he just woke up one day and said, “Know what would be awesome? If we shot a satellite in space with a missile. That would kick ass. Go do it.” And it was done. That’s awesome power right there. Totally awesome.
And think of the message it sends to America’s enemies: “Look at what we did to something in space. You’re on the ground, though. You’re nothing. We can hit you easy.” We should totally blow up more stuff in space to scare everyone else… like maybe the moon.
OK, but have our missile land at the moon’s north pole – like in your logo – ’cause NASA’s planning a moonbase at the south pole (which is a strange coincidence).
Yeah – did you see that chicken-sh*t moon trying to hide out when we were shooting up space junk last night.

Close DamnCat, but thats Franks laser sight confirming the blast zone for the next 4th of July fireworks.
It wasn’t Bush’s idea. He is busy dancing in Africa. Don’t you even read the news? I thought you were supposed to be a smart informed blogger? Guess you are really kinda dumb. Bush only has bad ideas like invading Iraq. He’s the reason Obama is going to be the next president. We are stuck in Iraq now but I sure wish we weren’t. Just think if there was no Iraq we wouldn’t have to worry about Obama and someone more conservative easily could have become president.
Now Nate, that wasn’t very nice at all. That doesn’t sound like any of your personalities.
Now these missiles are proving to be pretty @#$%^ accurate, but I assume they’re not reaching escape velocity. If we did somehow manage to miss the next rogue satellite, where would the missile come down? (wink-wink-nudge-nudge). This satellite was said to be the size of a bus, so the missile must have had a pretty decent warhead. (wink-wink-nudge-nudge) It’d be a cryin’ shame if our problems with rogue satellites accidentally led to, oh, I dunno, Sadr or Achmedinejad or Chavez getting a missile up his tailpipe.
Now Nate, that wasn’t very nice at all. That doesn’t sound like any of your personalities.
Well sometimes the truth hurts even if it’s mean. I do not like Bush at all and everyone has seen the videos of him busy dancing in Africa. He doesn’t get credit for cool Navy/NASA stuff. Not ever. No way. Frank needs to do better at reading the news. It should be pretty easy for a blogger to stay informed with so many social news tools and RSS feeds available.
Except (oh the loathing) Nate has a point about our lame duck dancing in Africa. Swell, George.
In other news, McCain’s face was very pale today. Maybe Huckabee know’s something we don’t about longevity.
Standby to pick your favorite socialist in the Texas debate.
You’re mean, Jimmy, bringing attention to the point on my head. There’s plenty of room for a brain in there! SOB
Give Mav a pass; he was in Toledo today, and you can get pretty pale there.
Nate would give credit for the space program and the moon shot to wads like LBJ and Nixon, and deny GWB one little old satellite? That’s cold, man. ‘Course none of them fellas had unpopular expensive foreign wars hanging around their legacies, nossir.
Tell you what, comatus, the Mav should hire guys like us to help him spruce up his presentation. I would have used the “F” word to describe what the NYT could do with itself. His approval rating would have shot up 5 points on that alone.
Nate, I’m not mean. But I wrote a poem about you that nobody commented on, including you.
Remind me not to comment here during a socialist debate. Pisses me right the f*ck off.
#8 was the Other Nate. He is one of the Others.
I wonder how many other things Frank J. has wrongly given Bush credit for over the past eight years. I sure bet it is a lot! That’s what happens bloggers don’t do any research!
No, you’re one of the Others. I was on Oceanic Flight 815, you lying meanie!
No, you’re one of the Others. I was on Oceanic Flight 815, you lying meanie!
No way. You are the Other. You are not as good at being me as I am. Everyone knows you are a phony Nate. It’s so obvious.
Of course lame ducks can blow up satellites in space! Being lame just means they hurt their leg – they can still fly.
Oh, thank you Master Shake for interrupting the Nate sputter. It’s become like a replicating virus here.
And look at George: he blows up hydrazine satellites while dancing in Africa. Of course, Rome is burning but, heck, one out of two aint bad on a night like this.
You can’t hit a bullet with a bullet, they said.
Shooting down missiles can’t be done, they said.
FAIL!
We nailed a satellite right in the fuel tank!
Hmm, maybe the U.S. Military is competant, nay AWESOME, after all!
And as for warhead size, sorry folks, it was kinetic energy kill vehicle, whice is a fancy way of saying CHUNK O’ METAL… but you get it chuggin’ along and it makes little difference.
I bet that Other Nate is trying to make me leave or something but you know what guys? It just makes me more determined than ever to stay! It’s like having a buddy to help you leave comments. It’s pretty awesome. I can be here even when I am not. Talk about totally cool and awesome!
Just think if there was no Iraq we wouldn’t have to worry about Obama and someone more conservative easily could have become president.

No Iraq… Yeah, that could be arranged. After we vacate the Americans, of course!
Forecast for Baghdad, a balmy 8000 degrees F.
Semper Fi
Woah. A nuclear explosion!!! I don’t think that would go over very well. That kind of talk is why Republicans are going to lose this election. It is idiots like Frank who keep defending or praising President Bush that has people running away from the Republican party like it is the Cloverfield monster. You can lay the blame for Obama being president almost entirely on bloggers like Frank J and people like readers of IMAO. If bloggers like him and people like you had been much more critical of Bush than Americans would not make the false Bush-Conservative association. You all have yourselves to thank for Obama. It makes me really angry at you people. You should have criticized Bush when you had the chance but you all were so hungry for the iraq war that you just let it happen. Then when things were going bad in Iraq instead of pointing this out you just kept pretending and lying to everyone that it was going great.
It was really stupid of all of you. I’m super serious. And I’m Sarcasm Man. And it was real fun playing with you all again but I’m bored now. See ya. Please keep making new Nates while I’m away. And don’t forget to look in the mirror and say “I’m responsible for Barack Obama.”

This post and the Nuke the Moon concept brought another thought.
How cool would it be to launch another moon – except, it’s no moon … it’s a Death Star.
A Death Star that sends out random ‘missile lock’ impulses when it rises over un-American countries. Just.For.The.Hell.Of.It?
In low earth orbit, it wouldn’t have to be the actual size of the moon to appear the same size as the moon. And we could even have lunar Death Star eclipses – any time and place we choose.
Fun for the whole family!
I’m the Sarc.
#18 was the Other Nate
The many heads of Nate,
have confused me of late.
Why Nate, it’s no trouble,
just exit your bubble,
and reveal your flatuous state.
I don’t know what that poem means Jimmy but it sure is lovely. If I were you I would add a line about those delicious chocolate covered marshmallows you can now get at the Godiva store and maybe a line about a little ladybug sitting on a leaf that is covered in dew while a rainbow shines brilliantly in the sky above. To me that would make your poem even more interesting and all the more beautiful.
Chocolates are yummy.
Godiva makes chocolate.
Godiva makes chocolate that’s yummy and great.
Raindrops are pretty.
Rainbows are too.
Rainbows are red, orange, green and blue.
Like dew on a leaf. Like rain from a cloud.
A ladybug sits in the dew so proud.
I’d give her some Godiva but she wouldn’t want it.
She’s so beautiful. That ladybug.
Oh how I love her so.
Well, Nate – that was like totally gay!
How cool would it be to launch another moon
At first glance, I read that as “another moron” and thought “Well, we have enough Nates that we can afford to launch one.” A sarcastic one, by preference, since we have an overabundant excess of redundant sarcasm surplussage as it is.
That a boy Nate. You just keep hanging around. Sooner or later something will penetrate that head full of “education” you’ve received thanks to our socialist friends in the education interment camps we call public schools and you will begin to see the light.
Until then you provide the irritation needed for others to produce gems of wisdom and insight.
Look at it this way your our own personal pet oyster. Providing a service all day, every day.
Doesn’t it feel good to be useful.
Nifty. Your comments section decided on its own that my post was so important that most of it should be bolded, instead of the single letter (the R in moron) that I marked. Is this a sign that artificial intelligence exists?
Nah, probably not. Artificial intelligence would probably be a soulless, calculating, inhuman … hm … is Hillary a sign that artificial intelligence exists? Mental note: download the Sarah Connor Chronicles posthaste.
Since there is no direct way to distinguish between Nates, I think I will just start ignoring them. Glimmer of HOPE aside, it just isn’t worth it.
is Hillary a sign that artificial intelligence exists?
In a narrow sense. While she’s technically not living (i.e. undead… and not in a cool ‘Dead Like Me’ kind of way), she’s still not totally artificial. Just mostly so.
I truly believe that the ‘original Nate’ is FrankJ or Harvey, since FJ never posts beyond his original thought. No one could be really that naive without putting lots of thought into it.
Opinions? (Personally, I get a kick out of the pseudo-troll and the multiple personalities).
The original Nate is me. I don’t like it when people start talking about you like you aren’t real. It isn’t very nice. I always try to say nice things and I write pretty poems for you all. Those Other Nates have made everyone think I am a phony.
Always on-line, lurking. How do you do that if this isn’t your only job, aside from sitting in the basement, spanking while you type?
The point here is that Duckie Boy Blew ordered up that awesome mission without checking with anybody AND while dancing in Africa.
If only he had taken it one step further and used it as a diversion to pull off a coup in Cuba… then you’d all be saying that cat W is a badd mutha… shut yo mouth!
I give GWB credit for giving money to the military so they can do cool things like that. It would’ve been badass if he said “Yippy Ki Yay Motherf***er” when the satellite exploded.
I would’ve still been upset about the whole ‘not securing the border very well thing’, but at the same time want to give a high five.
