  2. facehead says at 2:51 pm, June 18th, 2009

    When can we leave?

  3. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:51 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Humans still have not colonized the moon.

  4. chascates says at 2:51 pm, June 18th, 2009

    I voted yes only to escape from the Birthers, PUMAs, and Paultards.

  5. dijetlo says at 2:52 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Any chance that 23% is the Republican base?
    If so, let’s get started, we just need a really big sling shot.

  6. forgracie says at 2:53 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Moon Base Alpha or just my own place?

  7. SayItWithWookies says at 2:53 pm, June 18th, 2009

    This is not a scientific poll.

    Hell, it’s not even a reasonable fucking question.

  8. Mr Blifil says at 2:53 pm, June 18th, 2009

    No? NO?

  9. 51dimes says at 2:54 pm, June 18th, 2009

  10. Joe Schmoe says at 2:54 pm, June 18th, 2009

    How many people are Republicans: 23%
    How many people are Democrats: 77%

    The moon is the only place the GOP is safe from Obama.

  11. seachel says at 2:55 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Once again, the people rally around Aaron Neville!!

  12. Formerly Preferred says at 2:55 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Trick question, because it DOESN’T SPECIFY WHICH MOON.

  13. nappyduggs says at 2:56 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Leave the moon alone!

  14. Mild Midwesterner says at 2:57 pm, June 18th, 2009

    As long as I don’t have to wear those ill formed zipped jumpsuits.

  16. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:59 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Sarah Palin didn’t know how to answer on account of her not being able to consistently see the moon from her house.

  17. bologna_wallet says at 3:00 pm, June 18th, 2009

    With two wars, massive economic debt, health care crisis, North Kores, Iran, uprising of teh gayz- this is exactly what we should be asking the American public

  18. Chickensmack says at 3:01 pm, June 18th, 2009

    I see a snapshot that says 20,736 people went to CNN for information, found this, and thought it good enough to engage. MORE “JAPANESE TOURISTS BUSTED IN ITALY CARRYING ENTIRE U.S. TREASURY STUFFED BETWEEN MANGA AND ANIME DVDs IN SUITCASE” STORIES, PLZ!

    kthx

  19. Moononites are jerks. Especially Err.

  20. Hooray For Anything says at 3:02 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Ladies and Gentlemen, the Most Trusted Name in News.

  21. malvones says at 3:03 pm, June 18th, 2009

    this only confirms my long held suspicion that “American” CNN.com is CNN.com International Edition’s deeply stupid, galactically fucking retarded third cousin

    If I’m going to be struck down by a bolt of teary-eyed nostalgia, I’m taking the rest of you with me god dammit.

  23. WhatTheHeck says at 3:06 pm, June 18th, 2009

    All youse guys who want to go, we’ll call Moonies.
    And please live on the dark side of the moon so we don’t have to see you lunartics.

  24. facehead says at 3:06 pm, June 18th, 2009

    I’d like to visit Moon Unit Zappa.

  25. OReillysVibrator says at 3:06 pm, June 18th, 2009

    I think Mr. Kristol’s views on the moon are summed up in its entirety in the following:

  26. lizard scum says at 3:08 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Why not? Since the Moon and Outer Space are American, I trust there won’t be any terrorist prisoners there.

  27. SayItWithWookies says at 3:08 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Hey little girl do you want some candy?

    __ Yes

    __ No

    This is not a scientific poll.

  28. Monsieur Grumpe says at 3:08 pm, June 18th, 2009

    dijetlo:
    one word.

    Trebouchet

    http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1981395/posts

    Works for poop also!

  29. Come here a minute says at 3:09 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Stupid polls are what you take
    “Living on the moon”
    I hope my brain don’t break
    “Living on the moon”
    Cable news forever
    “Living on the moon”
    Jump the shark together
    “Living on”, “Living on the moon”

  30. SlipperyDick says at 3:10 pm, June 18th, 2009

    No, no Bill. The moon is full, Uranus is gassy.

  31. x111e7thst says at 3:10 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Do I get to wear astronaut diapers?

  32. magic titty says at 3:11 pm, June 18th, 2009

    “Would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?”

  33. nbawriter says at 3:17 pm, June 18th, 2009

    magic titty: Yes, the ghost of Harry Carey has hijacked the CNN Poll … from space!

    Next question: What’s your favorite planet? (Mine’s the sun.)

  34. Hooray For Anything says at 3:19 pm, June 18th, 2009

    In defense of CNN, it’s much better than Fox’s poll:

    Would you like Barack Obama to live on the moon:
    -Yes
    -No
    -Yes, but only if he takes ACORN with him
    -How do we know he wasn’t already born on the moon since we haven’t seen his birth certificate?

  35. BadKitty says at 3:23 pm, June 18th, 2009

    nbawriter: The sun is not a planet.

    Mine’s Pluto. Wha? DOH!!

  36. Sussemilch says at 3:25 pm, June 18th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: spittake

  37. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 3:26 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Next poll:

    Would you…
    (a) Like to swing on a star.
    (b) Carry moonbeams home in a jar.
    (c) Be better off than you are.
    (d) Undecided.

  38. dijetlo says at 3:35 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: I bow to your engineering expertise and note that since it already hurls chicken shit, it meets spec. How soon can we get that delivered?

  39. magic titty: I know I would.

  40. 51dimes says at 3:48 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Crab1: “Three demensions. How quaint. We have five….THOUSAND.”

  41. Inadequate Blackmail says at 3:48 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Jack Cafferty better ask this question during the Situation Room or else I’m going to start turning to Fox.

  42. Barry White Zombie says at 3:48 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Gil Scott-Heron says only white people live on the moon. Why is CNN racist?

  43. gferris5 says at 3:52 pm, June 18th, 2009

    I’d go up there just to dangle the world’s first “MoonNutz” That’s badass right thur!

    Hahaha (first trucknutz comment of the thread)!

  44. Mista Eko says at 3:54 pm, June 18th, 2009

    77% of us like to look down at the earth from above
    We would miss all the places and people we love.
    So although we might like it for one afternoon
    We would not want to live on the moon.

  45. facehead says at 3:57 pm, June 18th, 2009

    I hear it is lovely in the spring.

  46. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 3:59 pm, June 18th, 2009

    I always want to moon the Earth. Always.

  47. 19kevin8 says at 4:02 pm, June 18th, 2009

    You mean I’m not on the moon right now? Ah, fuck!

  48. willdude says at 4:04 pm, June 18th, 2009

    How’s AT&T’s 3G coverage? Excellent?

  49. Mr Blifil says at 4:07 pm, June 18th, 2009

    This is a hoax to get us up there in time for the next ASTEROID BARRAGE.

  50. NoWireHangers says at 4:17 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Step 1: Get confirmation if these are the same 23% that still love W, think Barry is an illegal immigrant muslin teleprompter, and can’t find the USA on a map.

    Step 2: Call NASA.

  51. BlueStateLibtard says at 4:18 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Enough with the jokes–I’m glad to see CNN devoting its time and energy to important matters like this.

  52. Suds McKenzie says at 4:25 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Lou Dobbs will probably have an existential breakdown over this one.

  53. Hooray For Anything says at 4:41 pm, June 18th, 2009

    BlueStateLibtard: I hope they definitely show what people are saying about the poll on either Twitter or the CNN message boards. Those comments are always highly illuminating and add much to the issues at hand.

  54. Joey Ratz says at 4:42 pm, June 18th, 2009

    NoWireHangers: Step 3: Profit!

  55. d4g33z says at 4:57 pm, June 18th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: But those lamps ruled! At least in season one…

  56. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:59 pm, June 18th, 2009

    We’re whalers on the moon,
    We carry a harpoon.
    But there ain’t no whales
    So we tell tall tales
    And sing our whaling tune.

  57. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:01 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Are there dark skin people on the moon that we can bomb? Otherwise, I don’t wee why Bill Kristol would care.

  58. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:04 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Ignignokt: We are Mooninites from the inner core of the moon.
    Err: You said it right.
    Ignignokt: Our race is hundreds of years beyond yours.
    Err: Man, you hear what he’s saying?
    Ignignokt: Some would say that the Earth is our moon.
    Err: We’re the moon.
    Ignignokt: But that would belittle the name of our moon, which is: The Moon.
    Err: Point is: we’re at the center, not you.

  59. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:08 pm, June 18th, 2009

    No one can defeat the quad laser.

  60. dijetlo says at 5:31 pm, June 18th, 2009

    NoWireHangers:
    Fuck Nasa, they’ll want to build habitats, make sure the colony is self sustaining. They’ll take ten years to study the problem, spend a billion dollars and then ask us if we want to see a picture of Crab Nebula. I’ve been waiting thirty years for my flying car and jet pack, I’m not willing to wait that long for this.
    Besides, these are Republicans, real Americans, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps folks, they’ll be fine. Just tell them the trebouchet is cost effective, you know how they feel about the government wasting tax dollars. Just fling a bunch of pillows up their first and tell them their are no brown people on the moon so they wont have to apologize for slavery, they’ll knock the thing over trying to get on it.

  61. OpusOne says at 6:05 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Next week on CNN.com…It’s a simple question: Do you want to go to Mars with a dead guy and a sandwich? Yes or no?

  62. forgracie: May I just say that your geek credentials are impeccable?

  63. oldguy says at 9:42 pm, June 18th, 2009

    Thank you all. This is why I read Wonkette - to laugh until I start getting dizzy.

  64. ElitistMarxshits says at 3:44 am, June 19th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe:

    I don’t know if you think he’s joking (in which case you’re a cop), or you’re laughing (in which case you’re a criminal), but there’s one thing you CANNOT laugh at: “Watson-Webb is also the proud owner of a 20-foot-long cannon, out of which he used to fire his wife!” No joke, criminal.

  65. If people only knew how hot moonsecks was, it would have produced the opposite result.

  66. Regarding Repblicans on the moon, I am very curious to know how they would pay for their social services there if it is tax-free. No doubt it would be a massive earth subsidy
