Asteroid 2006-Mustafah

Meanwhile, other scientists fear the asteroids. NASA is attempting to come up with some sort of scheme to defend us against rogue asteroids with unstable, likely Islamic orbits. The French, in a preemptive move, have already surrendered to asteroid 2004 XP14, which will make a close approach to the earth next monday. NASA insists that it is a global problem, and that other nations should really get off their asses and help out.

Well, because they are Islamic terrorist asteroids. Of course I hate their freedoms. Its not like they love my freedoms. The only freedom they want for me is the freedom of the grave. A five mile wide, half mile deep glowing red hot grave, to be specific.

Uh, "The U.S. Congress has tagged NASA to use its “unique competence” to deal with the potential hazard faced by Earth from such celestial wanderers, in order to help establish a warning and mitigation strategy."

Are they talking about OUR NASA? Sure, they're Congress, which means they're about twelve steps removed from reality, but does ANYONE with two brain cells to bump together really think of NASA as "uniquely competent"?

I think they are using the term "Unique Competence" in the same way we now use the word "Special." As in olympics, special.

Ex-ACT-ly.

Speaking of which, have you seen the movie "Ringers"?

Funny you should mention that, Patton. As I write this, at 11:21 in the evening on Saturday, I just finished watching Ringers five minutes ago on PPV at my Mom's house in Ohio.

Ringers is the funniest movie I have seen this year.
