Go Green or Face a Space Alien Attack?

I just read an article titled: "Aliens may destroy humanity to protect other civilisations, say scientists".

The authors of the study written about are from Penn State and NASA. They suggest that aliens (not the illegal type coming from Mexico) might attack and destroy us because of global warming. A link to the full study follows.

As an alum of Penn State, I am embarrassed about the Penn State connection, but not surprised. Global warming alamists will say anything to scare us into ruining our economy by regulating carbon dioxide.

I am more afraid of global warming alarmists like these authors and Al Gore than space aliens.

Don't hold your CO2-laced breath until ET arrives and is appointed by Obama to head the EPA. LOL.


UPDATE - One of the authors of the report is "affiliated" with NASA. The report is not a NASA report. Click here for more information.

Rick Perry - Pious or Political?

I first though the following article in the Washington Post was tongue-in-cheek, but I finally concluded that the author was serious. Can you imagine that Gov. Perry called for a prayer event and missed the opportunity to be political? Or was he just very, very clever?

Click here to read an article titled "Piety is the policy at Rick Perry’s prayer rally". I especially like these quotes:

"Yet what Governor Perry did Saturday is unusual in the history of presidential campaigns, at least recent ones. He engaged in extended citation of passages from Joel, Isaiah and Ephesians. He would reel off immense chunks of Scripture--without any interpretation whatsoever, as if the verses were self-explanatory"

"If he intends on using the religion card effectively beyond the Iowa and South Carolina caucuses and primaries Governor Perry will have to come up with something more inclusive than this."

Is it possible that the good Governor called for the prayer event because he realized that America needs God?

Tea Party Hobbits and the Ring

Recently, John McCain caused an uproar by calling Tea Party people "hobbits". Click here. I just can’t see why he made so many angry. In my view, he made either an unintended or very clever complement to the Tea Party.

Author J. R. R. Tolkien created the hobbit character. In his famous work, The Lord of the Rings, the hero was hobbit Frodo Baggins. He saved Northwest Middle-earth from Sauron, the Dark Lord and titular Lord of the Rings.

Frodo was the consummate good guy. Honest and true, he was as much the "salt of the earth" as Tea Party people are today. His home, the Shire, exemplified today’s Middle America, where many Tea Party people live. (Liberals call this "fly over country")

Washington, DC can be likened to Mordor, home of the evil Lord Sauron (you decide who he is like today) who wanted to control all Northwest Middle-earth by possessing the Ring. (Like power politicians lust for today)

Frodo, the hero hobbit, was able to save Northwest Middle-earth by destroying the Ring in the fire of Mount Doom in Mordor. (Like an election and change today)

It seems that John McCain has illuminated the way to salvation for America – The Tea Party Hobbits.

Will the real Frodo please stand up? Please!!!
