Sockpuppet Friday (Moon Unit edition)

As usual, you are positively encouraged to engage in sockpuppetry in this thread. The usual rules apply.

Please, be sure to switch back to your regular handle when commenting on other threads. I have made that mistake myself.

And remember: the worst sin you can commit on this thread is not being funny.

In the segment on space policy during last night’s CNN debate, Wolf Blitzer  observed that a lot of people have lost their jobs in Florida as a result of the decline of America’s space program.  It was left to the viewer to draw the inference that Newt Gingrich’s renewed emphasis on ideas like a permanent moonbase was perhaps not merely one of his recurring flights of futuristic fancy, but also an unsubtle pander to a bloc of voters in a key primary.  Left entirely unmentioned was the fact that space programs are among the very few Americans support cutting and the inferences that might be drawn about a politician who will pander away even low-hanging fruit.

    JD (7362cd)

  18. JD is a bad bad bad man. I know because I know things. I know things because I have an active imagination. I have an active imagination because I do drugs. I do drugs because the make the voices tell me to stop monkeymooning the potatohat.

    EPWJ (7362cd)

  19. Am I still runnin’ for somethin’? I can’t remember what I was supposed to do today.

    Rick Perry (7362cd)

  20. I personally vouch, staking my good name and reputation, on the existence of Barack Obama’s budget balancing plan.

    Tax cuts for 98% of americans? I promise that has already happened.

    Tommy X24rrr (7362cd)

  21. shouldn’t the focus of the thread be on specifically what I insist it should be? Even if that makes absolutely no sense?

    I just don’t see how you doing what you want to learn what you want to learn will achieve totally unrelated goals that I came up with and seem relatively unimportant.

    seattle snooki (7362cd)

  22. You have to admit, when NYC assumed a gun owning Navy SEAL was insane and had him thrown in an asylum without checking him out, we had a point. You’d have to be crazy to expect NYC to treat such a person fairly.

    Mayor Bloomberg (7362cd)

  23. Bloomberg you islamophobe.

    EffyousidewaysBloomberg (ef98f0)

  24. Do Not Watch This Video

    Trust me, not your lying eyes. The video might make Newt look like a Reagan supporter encouraging Republicans to be more conservative, but don’t worry about that. Trust me, instead. I will […] tell the truth.

    DRUDGE REPORT (7362cd)

  25. Reagan is holy. Anyone disagreeing with him is automatically wrong, even if he was saying stuff like ‘balance the budget’. How can a budget deficit be a problem if Ronald Reagan was president at the time?

    Schizophrenic RINO (7362cd)

  26. So, did everyone just adore my neon cobalt dress at the SOTU. All the other frumpy guests in my box faded into the background due to my brillance. I just love being the star of the show.

    Michelle Obama (8aabf0)

  27. So, did everyone just adore my neon cobalt dress at the SOTU.

    I totally thought it was great that you wore a $3000 dress to a speech where you ostensibly supported the 99%. It’s subtle humor like that which keeps life interesting.

    Kinda inappropriate look, too, for a SOTU, but enough to leave room for the sapphire stud bikini you plan to wear next year.

    1% (7362cd)

  28. Don’t try to pretend you have cajones on my turf, Buddy.

    Jan Brewer, Gov of AZ (8aabf0)

  29. Newt’s got a point. The Chinese are trying to get to the moon, why not us who have already been there and would have had a colony on it 30 years ago but for the democrats? is it a form of welfare? Sure. But considering the the trillions we have and are continuing to spend on slugs and junk like high speed rails to nowhere, I rather spend some money on geniuses who’s work will eventually lead to things that benefit us all. And while we are at it, lets restart the huge collider program in Texas that was killed off during the Clinton Administration.

    cubanbob (ad2274)

  30. Moon colony? I think I saw a moon colony just the other day. A bunch of people with their pants down around their ankles were bent over while looking at the ground at something behind them. I wanted to stop and go over to see what the thing on the ground was, but my Secret Service driver wouldn’t stop the car. I think it could have been a Big Effing Deal!

    Joe Biden (58dde3)

  31. Antarctica has oxygen, water, etc. but only scientists are willing live there for short times.

    So let’s go colonize the moon! Who wants to volunteer to live where walking outside means instant death, plus you have to bring your own air?

    I hear the golfing is spectacular.

    Looney Newt (b120ce)

  32. There’s a coincidence today. On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and a historian later said, ‘He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it.’ Well, today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake’s, complete.

    The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honoured us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and ‘slipped the surly bonds of earth’ to ‘touch the face of God.’

  33. HEY! Leave my secretary alone!

    Just because I brought her up? Repeatedly? Schyeah. Who are YOU to question MY math? I’m friggin Warren Buffett and I don’t answer questions!

    Warren "Chris Crocker" Buffet (325a59)

  34. Yeah, guys. You’re supposed to accept what your betters tell you and not ask any questions. That it doesn’t make sense to you only proves you’re all idiots.

    President Barack H. Obama, Healer of Planets and Supressor of Tides, I mean Tax Brackets (325a59)

  35. Cigarettes are intolerable for airing on TV, but people drinking animal urine and animal semen in exchange for money is wholesome entertainment.

    … so long as there aren’t any chewing tobacco commercials. That would be gross!

    National Broadcasting Corporation, AKA GE AKA Democrats (7362cd)

  36. I’m the smartest person in whatever room I happen to wander into.

    Of bills we’ll run up while we’re together

I had my eye on ANTOHER 2ND home in Arizona, this one not so close to the fairway, with a pool, water feature, gazebo,fire pit, 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, a play room, overlooking the open desert. Sunsets to die for! It looks like something on HGTV. And this stupid bastid is going round saying I don’t make so much is causing banks not to give me a mortgage. SHUT UP!WHy did you decide to make me the big example?

    Who the hell wants to leave Arizona in winter to spend a January night in freezing DC sitting next to a Sasquatch/Wookie hybrid attacking Cheese Doodles all night? It was a cloud of Doodle dust. DOn’t think the drycleaner can get that orange crap off my blouse.

    What? Yes, I know those guys are not running for president. But did you see me kick their butts? I body-slammed ’em, baby! Whoo!!!

    Now, if Obama gets all mean and attacky, like Mitt, then I’m gonna have to point that out. Ain’t gonna be no “there you go again” moment with me, honey. I’m going all-in with “why you bein’ so mean, playa?” Whoo!!!

    Y’know, thinking back on it, it might have been a Big Effing Tower. Was I in Paris? I forget where I am some times.

    …What was I saying? Oh, yeah, Paris. That’s in Texas, right? Rick Perry is the governor, there, as I recall. Wait, no, he’s the lead singer from Journey.

    Ok, wait. I’m confused. Why is the lead singer from Journey a presidential candidate again?

    J Biden, Esq, (8e2a3d)

  95. G.O.P. was having trouble
    What a sad, sad story
    Needed a new leader
    To restore its former glory
    Where, oh where was he?
    Where could that man be?
    We looked around
    And then we found
    The man for you and me
    And now it’s…

    Springtime for Gingrich and G.O.P.
    Maddow is giddy and gay
    Reagan them in a frantic pace
    Look out,
    A Romney-Newt debate

    Springtime for Gingrich and Tiffany’s
    Winter for Cartier’s in France
    Springtime for Gingrich and Tiffany’s
    Come on, Newties
    Go into your dance

    I was named New-ton Le-roy
    And liked the zoo as a small boy

    Everyone says I’m a moon-ie
    Just because my plans sound loony

    Don’t be stupid, be a smarty
    Come and join my NewTzie Party

    Springtime for Gingrich and G.O.P.
    Florida’s gone kosher today
    Bomb throwing is my style and then,
    Reagan is on the rise again

    Springtime for Gingrich and G.O.P.
    Iran’s gone shopping once more
    Springtime for Gingrich and G.O.P.
    Means soon we’ll be going
    We’ve got to be going
    You know we’ll be going to war
