More politics of the absurd

No Deal (yet) for Watson. Disgraced former House Minority Leader Bob Watson (R-East Greenwich) had another day in court in New Haven, CT. Watson was arrested last April on DUI charges. Marijuana was found in his car and urine tests showed marijuana and cocaine in his system. He managed to squeak by with a blood alcohol level at 0.01 below the DUI limit in Connecticut.

Watson pleaded not guilty and his next court appearance is September 23. Watson has admitted he had the marijuana for a medical condition (but he has not registered to be a medical marijuana user). He also claimed the police were picking on him.

Well, we wrap up (more or less) one conflict (Libya) and another one pops up to take its place. The newest threat to American security is the announcement last week by the Canadian Department of National Defence that it will seek bids to produce a stealth snowmobile. Not a joke. They are prepared to pay up to $550,000 (Canadian) for a prototype. The vehicle must be a hybrid, naturally, and silent enough so Canadian soldiers can swoop down on their unsuspecting enemies – like in Maine or Minnesota.

Why we simply CANNOT reduce defense spending.

Silent but Deadly. According to Marine Corps Times, Marines posted in Afghanistan have been ordered not to audibly fart, curse, or discuss politics, religion or women out of concern that such behavior would be offensive to the Afghanis. Other than shoot people, what else is left for the Marines to do?

Here’s one for Dan Slattery. According to a report done by a consultant researcher for NASA, there is a decent chance that any encounter with alien visitors – space aliens – could end up with the aliens destroying the Earth. The researcher speculates that when they see how we are destroying our plant due to global warming, they will conclude that we are a degenerate species and that we could pose a danger to other living beings on other worlds if we are left alive to develop interstellar travel. Message to Dan Slattery: being vaporized by space aliens is a slightly more credible threat than the supposed health effects of wind energy generator you found in your “research.”

Fox News has the answer to the Alien Threat. Like Dan Slattery, Fox News is always a step ahead. They also read about the space alien story and they figured out exactly what to do. Watch:
