NASA and Quarantine

A couple of things in the news today sparked my interest and gained my attention. One was NASA and the LCROSS project and the other is the MASS state reps and their quarantine bill.

First up NASA.

NASA Moon Bomb

Today NASA tested crashed, yes crashed! On purpose, one rocket and one satellite into the moon. The LCROSS project is designed to determine if there is water present on the moon. Slamming rockets into the moon will generate moon dust NASA hopes to analyze.

What the fluck? When I first heard and read this I thought you got to be kidding, is it April Fools Day the second! Let me see, crash rockets into the moon to see if there’s water? Brilliant idea! Dam the torpedoes, full speed ahead. This has got to be the stupidest idea from NASA yet.

Poor Mr Man in the Moon

Here’s a simple idea, if you want to know if there’ water, I don’t know, how about returning to the moon and test the soil or something. The moon has been there since the beginning of time. Do you think that they know whether or not the moon will be adversely affected? They don’t.

This is another example of too much time on your hands with the difference being our taxpayer money. 45 million Americans are without health-care and we’re test-crashing rockets into the moon. Nice way to spend taxpayer money.

Next up are the state of Massachusetts State Representatives and the recently passed quarantine bill. The state can now force you into quarantine and also force you to get the swine flu shot. Supposedly for the greater good and to stop the pandemic. The only “Pandemic” I see are people’s fears taking over. Public Health people are becoming zealots in their desire to control us from ourselves.

It’s another example of government crossing the line and stepping into the Big Brother zone. This “idea” reminds me of the movie Outbreak. Have you seen it? Confine people to a town and then bomb it to hell for the sake of humanity. I ask, after we quarantine those people, are we going to burn them too? Can we quarantine stupid people also? My first pick will be that any politician who dreams up useless legislation be BANNED IN BOSTON!

We're Watching You

I have to remind my self that no more posting before I have my first cup of Java.

Lights out ?

I’m pissed! My sister spent the entire day watching our country’s farewell to Senator Ted Kennedy. She waded, tirelessly, through inane comments, interviews and commercials
only to be disappointed in the end. According to my sister, everything was going along as scheduled. (One last viewing for the public, followed by a private viewing for dignitaries
and family members, a drive along a route [specifically requested by the Senator] and a flight to Arlington National Cemetery.)

By the time I sat down to watch this historic event come to a close. I saw the Honor Guard awaiting the arrival of the Senator. I thought, what the fuck! Where are the lights? You can barely see them. I began to think who is the idiot that planned this and why aren’t there any lights. Did they not consider, that…oh, let’s see…night may fall? “All is going according to schedule,” the buffoons at CNN reported repeatedly. So, what the hell happened? And, why weren’t there any lights? I, quickly switched from news channel to news channel and to my horror, they all looked the same. Black! I guess they all paid into a pool for the same satellite feed.

Stupidity really does start at the top.

When the time came for her final goodbye, Ted Kennedy’s young, granddaughter was audibly shaken as she could not see the speech she had prepared. “I can’t see…I can’t see…”, she cried out as she stood at the podium. Heartfelt words written for her grandfather could not be read because there was no light for her to see them. The long and flawless coverage ended in utter disaster which could have been easily avoided.

“Well, as you can see… or, as you can not see, this is the end of a historic day”, said Fox (Faux) News anchor Chris Wallace. My sister told me that a few years ago Dreamorks (a Motion Picture Company) was hired by NASA to clean up the original footage of the first landing on the moon. NASA’s complaint was that the footage was too dark.

Courageously, the geniuses at Dreamworks worked their magic and were able to right the problem. Instead of harboring this disappointment any longer, I’m thinking of calling Dreamworks. This is how the conversation will go;

“Hi, is this Dreamworks? Wanna, make some extra money? I have just the job for you…

Even in death the Kennedys are cursed.
