On the fortieth anniversary of man setting footprints on the moon that will last for thousands of years, unless they are obliterated by a Mentos ad, comes the news that Jupiter’s sanctity was violated by a member of the C-Street Fellowship comet or meteor leaving a scar about the size of Lou Dobb’s ego the earth.
This is a tragedy of epic proportions for the Obama Administration as Jupiter is where Hawaii stores its vital records — at least according to Glenn Beck. On the other hand FoxNews personality Bill O’Reilly is quick to point out that Jupiter had it coming with its pastel coloring and putting itself right next to the Asteroid Belt.
I would like to thank Jupiter for being so damned big that it has taken a few for the solar system, specifically us. The last event like this being almost exactly 15 years ago with the Shoemaker-Levy comet. The scary thing is, we knew about that event more than a year in advance, this one only afterward.

Wasn’t Dan Quayle supposed to be watching out for these things? Jupiter is going to be ticked off.
Don’t know about Mr. PotatoeHead, but rest assured David Brooks has got it covered. I mean, in his latest tour-de-force we can see he has his eyes trained intensely on the biggest threat to Earth…Liberalism.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07…..38;emc=rss
Can one “article” possibly trot out more cliched devices to bash Liberals? We got everything in there, from tax-and-spenders, false equivalency, Nancy Pelosi-BOO!, and one of their/his all-time favorites…Liberal Overreach, and concludes with this whopper with sleaze:
The next time Bobo says something that even remotely flirts with Truth and I see fellow Liberals say, “Hey, Brooks doesn’t seem so bad sometimes…” I literally think I’m gonna vomit. I would’ve thought his screed about Rick Santorum being a champion of “the poor,” and chastising the “poor” for voting out their best advocate, Mr. Man-on-Dog, would’ve been enough to discredit this charlatan completely, but no. Perhaps this latest excretion will.
Bobo is a BigMoney operative of the highest order, and is one of the most dangerous because he has some at least some writing skillz, however minimal, and can fool people better than the other “conservative” writers. Can we send him to Jupiter on a fact-finding mission?
Good morning, pups. It’s Bobo and Cohen today. Bobo has labored mightily and produced “Liberal Suicide March.” He says it once seemed as if President Obama would lead a center-left coalition, but instead, he has deferred to the Old Bulls on Capitol Hill on issue after issue. If the rest of his statements are as accurate as the polls he refers to, he’s completely full of shite. He says “Nancy Pelosi has lower approval ratings than Dick Cheney.” The information I find says Pelosi’s approval rating is 39% and Cheney’s is 37% (and rising… I guess absence makes the heart fonder). Bobo, STFU. Mr. Cohen, in “Iran’s Tragic Joke,” says Iranians do not take kindly to seeing their country turned into a laughing stock.
Here they are.
The coffee and tea are ready, the cold drinks are in the fridge for later, and I’ve got banana nut muffins. Did anyone else catch Rachel’s “factual corrections” last night of Pat Buchanan’s spittle-flecked rant? It was a thing of beauty. Have a great day.
This take a while but watch Buzz Aldrin punch a Moonwalk denier. Oh 9/11 folks, come on down!
Bobo? Find a fact? Not if it jumped up and hit him in the face, like stepping on a rake. Let him go to Jupiter and do one of his sociology pieces, or a wistful meditation on what it means to be far from home. (The other possibility would be just to drop him into the atmosphere to make a first-person report on that…)
Make sure you forward it to Barrow!
He sent out a survey on health care. Heh. I sent it back, hoping to put a flea in his ear. I believe I called the current system a national disgrace, and said a plan without a strong public option would be a sham, and when asked what my greatest fear about health care reform was I told him it was spineless congresscritters gutting it at the behest of their masters in the insurance and big pharma industries. Teach him to send me surveys…. He didn’t ask for specific name or address, just zip code, so he probably can figure out I’m a constituent.
Isn’t that where he gothis facts?
I always thought he went here to get his “facts.”
Just walked through the other room and caught morning joke quote as gospel brooks’ screed. Disgusting piece of shit that morning joke. And why can’t that guy show up for his own show with any kind of regularity? Just asking.
Good morning all and thanks for the post Attaturk.
Looks like were back in Mr. McBobo’s World.
The thing that freaks me out is that the little putz is 15 years younger than I am. He comes across as such a crotchety, cranky old man…
Priceless. Thankyou.
PS raining here and, apparently, I am to blame …… it is a cat nip day!
Bad weather is always the fault of the human staff. Catnip can blunt the disappointment, though!
raining here and… I am to blame ……
Nice trick !!
Cool post. Jupiter has always been one of my favorite planets. I, too, would like to thank her/him for taking a few for the earth. Very big of you, Jupiter, thanks!
Also. Don’t get mad at those commenters above, we won’t really send Bobo to you.
Morning all, Gosh did we ever have a storm last night – super high winds, golf ball size hail, tons of rain. Waiting for the sun to come up to see the damage. There was so much hail it was drifting in places.
Good morning all. Lost my internet last night in the middle of an interesting discussion.
Wow. If I never see golf ball size hail, it will be too soon. I hope everything is OK.
I wonder if we could ask BillO for a Uranus check? Except he’s all asshole.
Mornin’, pups -
Just a little while ago cnn had what’s his face interviewing the head lawman of the home town of the missing military guy. The media is apparently going crazy trying to pull their usual crap of getting loved ones to talk on-camera…….sounds like it ain’t working in this place. And bloody good on the family and everyone in the town who refuses to talk about the family’s emotions/reactions/blah, blah, blah! The cop was extremely reticient (sp?) and king’s (is that his name?) fustration was so obvious it was almost funny; he was totally freaked that the town had managed to keep their knowledge of his identity hidden for so long. heh…….
I’m assuming this is a neck of the country that’s pretty conservative…..wonder what his family/friends/townspeople think of their beloved fox and the freak they had on who was making assumptions about what actually happened over there during his capture.
Breaking news: media sucks! :-(((
I for one would like to hear what Dan Quayle thinks. I don’t want to listen to it for more than a second as I suspect cacophony, but it would explain a lot. The guy used to give spelling lessons to children for a living. He can’t spell his own name, but he sure can give you a lot of options for potato.
If we can just get a few things started on the way to Jupiter, maybe we can clean up?
Jupiter was looking too big to flail, I suppose. Brings out the worst in those thug meteors.
