New Link Category

I’ve created a category called “Inadvertent Comic Relief.” It will contain links to sites that are serious, but hilariously and relentlessly stupid. The honor of the first link goes to perennial anti-military-space loon Bruce Gagnon. As an example, here he expresses his frustration that the Obama administration is going to do nothing to prevent those evil Anglospherians from colonizing the moon and terrorizing the moon people:

In Obama’s opening words he talked about the early vision of our “founding fathers”. He intends to remain loyal to the rich white men who dreamed of their own empire — one that would challenge England’s global power. An empire that would push the Native Americans from their land, ravage the Earth for its natural resources, and move overseas to terrorize and colonize people in Hawaii, the Philippines, Guam, Latin America, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and ultimately the moon in the sky.

End the madness.

I’ve also added another of my favorite whacko conspiracy mongers — Elaine Supkis (who also happens to be L-5 Society founder Carolyn Meinel’s sister).

Me, Too

Jonah Goldberg finds this video a little creepy.

Why couldn’t they have made these pledges a year ago? Or eight? Why did they have to wait until the Messiah showed up?

I have to agree with Jay Nordlinger, too:

I don’t know about you, but I am particularly unkeen on arm gestures associated with party enthusiasm and loyalty…

Can you imagine the uproar in the press if this were happening with a Republican president?
