Navy Lasers

I’d say the number one complaint about the U.S. Navy is not enough giant lasers that can shoot down aircraft, but they’re working on it. Giant lasers on ship is part of the path to giant lasers in space. First you do lasers on land, then on water, then in the air, and then in space. That’s how Science! works.

Notice how as our military advances in technology, all our enemies seem to devolve? We’re getting lasers and they’re using hand me down AK-47s and trying to piece together explosives. Eventually, it will be like an advanced alien race versus cavemen, which is the goal of any military. That and to be worshiped as angry gods.

Obama Hiding Weakness?

There is some suggestion that President Obama has been dying his hair. This is good, because if Obama shows any sign of weakness, Biden will see it as his opportunity and challenge Obama to combat so that he may be president. Biden may seem stupid, but he is a spry and vicious combatant. And he bites. The only thing keeping him in line his fear of Obama’s strength, but if Obama starts to gray, then that fear wanes.

Some people think we should repeal the law that allows the VP to take over the presidency if he bests the president in one on one combat, but I think that’s short sighted. Having the VP always lurking in the background waiting for any weakness to pounce helps keep the president on his toes. I definitely don’t think it’s as dumb as the law that put the National Park Service in charge of the Thuderdome.

Olbermann Is Gone; What Now?

So Keith Olbermann got the boot. It was a surprise to everyone, with pretty much no one knowing before Olbermann made this statement on the air:

You kinda have to feel bad for since no one likes him. The guy was basically a dancing monkey for the left. He had this insular show with no one on to disagree with him so he could rant and rave his left-wing stupidity with no possibility of someone popping his pomposity; it was rather pointless really, and even many on the left started to recognize that and make fun of him.

Still, it was MSNBCs highest rated show, so they have to replace him with something. I’d say an actual dancing monkey. It would go on screen and dance and screech and liberals could watch and clap their hands and say how much that monkey was really giving it to the right. The left hasn’t been doing so great with reality lately; might as well embrace it.

As for Olbermann, I say reality show. Maybe one where he’s a bounty hunter. At the end of each episode after the perp was caught, Olbermann would give this bombastic speech about justice during which the perp would escape and spray Olbermann with his own bear mace. Now that would be some entertaining viewing!

Random Thoughts

I don’t get this worry about climate change. The climate has always changed like every season. Am I the only who notices that?

If you don’t like climate change, move to Florida where it’s warm all year round.

So who wants to bet that after 14 years of development, Duke Nukem Forever is going to be pretty mediocre?

I’m kinda hoping for the collapse of society because I think I’d be a good warlord.

So has Charles Johnson succeeded yet in his hunt to find someone more crazy and extreme than himself?

Great words from great presidents
