Sweet

Can anything the President
accomplishes make the GOP happy?
No, because they're all jerks. Big fat
jerks who smell funny and fart a lot. Fart-fart-fart!
I hope Mr. Obama calls Speaker Ryan on
an hourly basis and apologizes to him for
the horrific Iranian quagmire for which
the White House is now responsible.
Bwahhhhh-hahahahahahahahahah!

Over the weekend I
journeyed to the land of $5 bottles of
water and blew the wad on "The
Martian", a movie that was awarded
the Golden Globe for Best Comedy (I'm not
kidding) apparantly because
the "science" in the story is
Gilligan's Island-level absurd. I
will not go into detail as that would
take most of the afternoon to fully document
every
stupid
plot-point but it really bothered
me that a
mission-trained
botanist spent
over a year on the surface of Mars and
didn't
utter one word about his search for life
on the planet.
You know, the VERY FUCKING
REASON he was
sent
there.
Apart from all that, a pretty good popcorn
film if by "popcorn film" you understand
me to mean "open your skull, remove your
brain, and replace it with a bag of gummi
bears".
Gack!
Over and out.
BTW, defend the book version all you want.
I haven't read it and most likely won't.
I'm just saying that the movie version
was juvenile nonsense from
almost the first frame.
In my very humble opinion the movie is
most egregious in that it gives the general
public the
idea
that
sending humans to Mars is almost trivial.
It is punishably propagandistic in that
regard
as nothing about getting people there
and back will be easy or safe.
Cosmic rays and solar flares will be among
the
many potentially lethal problems that will
be encountered. Let's continue to put our
money in robots.
They work and we get better at them all
the
time.
