Let’s not beat around the bush. (or is it Bush?) The United States is, without a doubt, occupying the soil of far-distant lands. We were not invited there. Those occupying it have been there since 2003, without a United Nations mandate, roaming around in never-ending patrols that are frequently futile and non-productive.
And yet, our government continues to send more and more resources to maintain the occupation of that soil, hopefully to establish a permanent presence to plunder the natural resources for our own enrichment.
Worst of all, after an initial flurry of reports and wall-to-wall breathless news coverage, you pretty much don’t hear the truth about what’s going on there unless it’s bad news. Or good news, depending on your political view and aspirations for 2006 and 2008.
Wait… you thought I was talking about Iraq? What, are you some kind of Hate-Filled Liberal Moonbat? Come on, people! We’re building democracy there. That Freedom Thing.
Sheesh!
I was talking about Mars.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter lifted off on an Atlas V rocket on a seven-month journey to Mars. The booster rocket shut down and dropped off into the Atlantic Ocean minutes into the launch. Seconds later, the second-stage rocket engine ignited.
Circling the planet for at least four years, the orbiter is to provide unparalleled information on Mars’ weather, climate and geology, which could aid possible future human exploration of the Red Planet.
…
Two NASA rovers launched in 2003, Spirit and Opportunity, continue to roam the planet and may be the first to relay information back to Earth via the reconnaissance orbiter.
Some people just can’t resist reading their own agenda into things.
The courageous minutemen of the Martian resistance will be victorious and drive the infidel rovers from the Martian soil!
..or you know.. not.
It’s only a matter of time before the Martians come here ILLEGALLY and start mooching off our bleeding-heart welfare system. The ACLU will force us to “tolerate” their backwards beliefs and before you know it we’ll all be talking from the backs of our throats and wearing funny helmets with brooms on them and goofy green skirts. Then come the reperations for our unjust occupation. We need to seal the ozone layer NOW.
Wow, you guys are funny! I just can’t believe it! I’m so glad I found this blog!
No liberal blog can hold a candle to you guys! I have never laughed so much in my entire life! I need to go calm down! Mars, hah! Ooh boy was that funny! I can’t wait to tell my friends how funny you are!
Has anyone found a funny liberal blog that was actually intended to be funny?
There’s one or two that I have added themselves to the Truth Laid Bear Humor/Satire community, but I am annoyed that others haven’t thought enough of themselves to ask to be added.
Watch out for those Martians.
After a while, they’ll be sending their kids here as “students” and “corporate resources,” but they will have a more sinister agenda, establishing sleeper cells that eventually will be activated to punish us for our support of the universally-hated Jovians. And they will be almost invisible…
Excuse me…I have to go ball the wall socket now, and put some Brillo in the toaster.
No Martians for oil! This trip to Mars is just another excuse for Cheney’s Haliburton to do something or other for control of the solar system! It’s technical, so I won’t go into details. Just remember, Haliburton eats babies and stuff, Martian or not. Trust me, I read it somewhere.
Sandy Bergen has the douments to prove it!
Has anyone alerted the guys filling in for the official border patrols? We want no illegal Martians here. Look what happened in War of the Worlds. Now that we’ve alerted the Martians that we’re on to them, anything can happen.
Bush needs to discontinue Star Wars and divert our resources to a new program:
Ugly-looking Green Alien Wars.
Unless they go thru airports. You can’t profile “Ugly-looking Green Aliens”, they might have old ladies stuffed in their baggage….
No one will know that they’re among us then.
i hate Bush
Liberalism lives in the youth of our nation in the next few years it will rise up and defeat evil conservatism.
