The Real Reason Bush Wants to Go to the Moon

To keep this back on topic for SAA, I see on CNN that there are power
problems with the second Mars Rover. Let's hope that NASA can get it
working properly again.

The problem is simply that a 15-watt heater keeps coming on whenever it
gets cold, even if they don't want it to. It doesn't seem to be a very
serious matter.

What chapter of the KKK did you say that you belong to? Please,
enlighten us on what you hate about the above, and why?

If you're going to assume Al was being discriminatory you should
also consider coming to the defense of the "angry doctors", the "young
looking", "fired army generals", and "pale looking" people. Why did
you pick only three of the categories he named? Hmmm, I wonder?
I'm sure Al doesn't consider "French looking", "Jewish" or
"Black" to be bad things. People who don't have discriminatory
thoughts in their head usually don't hesitate to use the best
descriptive terms for recognition purposes that come to mind at the
time, with absolutely no offense intended.
My personal take was that he was simply trying to make it easier
for you to determine which of those pathetic idiotic candidates he was
including in the group. He knows how busy you must with your web
based I.Q. tests and have to read really fast.
Nowhere in his posting was the word "hate" used. The fact that
you make that assumption shows how you look at the world. I'm sure Al
simply is not a big fan of stupidity, and that's mainly what was being
implied about the candidates. His attack was definitely aimed at
their mentality, as it should have been. And, he thinks they are very
funny, as does most of the country.
Bravo Al!

Thanks for your support! It appears that the majority of this group is
liberal, and that's okay with me, as "some of my best friends are
liberal.":-) Nevertheless, it's okay for one of the liberals to poke fun at
Bush or the administration. After all, "Bush Whacking" is good, clean fun
and perfectly acceptable among liberals. However, if one has the audacity
to poke fun back at the liberals, he is accused of having a low IQ, of being
"not funny"...completely without humor, of being KKK material and of being
racially slanderous. I really feel sorry for them...what will they do when
dubya wins a second term?:-)

The issue isn't one of liberal vs conservative and which one is okay to
poke fun at. The issue is that this is SAA - about Astronomy. The cartoon
was about Astronomy. I would love for us to go back to the Moon. But, Bush
has no real intention of doing so. It's strictly political. Anybody - the
President, a Senator, a liberal - who is going to trash the Hubble (because
it has no clear purpose) because he says we should go to the moon (did Bush
ever say why exactly we should?) deserves to be lampooned.
Again, the original was Astronomy related. Your reply was not. That's why
so many posters have reacted strongly to your opinion.
