Internal Paultard Chaos Erupts Over Possible Astronaut Endorsement

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

paularmstrong.jpgIn one of the better recent threads at Ron Paul Forums yesterday, someone floated the idea of courting Neil Armstrong’s support based on a blurb from the famous astronaut’s Wikipedia page: “The first man to walk on the Moon was also approached by political parties from both ends of the spectrum. Unlike former astronauts and United States Senators John Glenn and Harrison Schmitt, Armstrong has turned down all offers.” Later in the thread however, Armstrong’s ties with the CORPORATES are revealed — he’s a Freemason and a Skull & Bonesman, it seems, and therefore made up the moon landing!

Osama Bin Laden Found, On Mars!

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008


Taking a much-needed break from breaking things, hiring diaper-clad psychopaths and blowing up spaceships, NASA has released a shocking photograph of a man on Mars that some lunatics believe could be “Bigfoot,” the Earth monster. But others in England think the Martian is Osama bin Laden! [Fox News, The Sun]

Government Types Hold Alien Panel, Pull 9/11 Card

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

UFO research will never progress because of this fucking movieHistory will remember the 2008 Dennis Kucinich campaign for two things: his hot-ass wife Elizabeth, and bringing UFOs back into the political dialogue. Kucinich’s discussion of his UFO encounter during the last Democratic debate sparked a resurgence of very important questions about how our government is handling the “alien situation.” No, not Mexicans — like LEGIT aliens in flying saucers and shit. Last week, former Arizona Gov. Fife “The Fife” Symington wrote about his alien encounter after years of denying it. On Monday, The Fife was a key member of a UFO panel featuring experts with Air Force, NASA, FAA, Et Cetera and So Forth experience. MORE »

Nation Cheers As NASA Shuttle Doesn’t Explode

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

The space agency best known for crazy diaper-wearing vengeance-killing astronauts, crazy drunken astronauts and a fleet of crippled old space vehicles likely to explode upon takeoff or landing has beaten the odds today and actually brought a broken space shuttle home without being destroyed in the process.

NASA Also Lost $94 Million — Possibly In Space, Probably Drunk

Friday, July 27th, 2007

'The only danger is if they send us to that terrible Planet of the Apes ...' - WonketteThis week we’ve learned that some NASA dork sabotaged a computer bound for the International Space Station, another NASA crook stole $150,000 from the space agency, and that the astronuts at NASA have repeatedly piloted the space shuttles while drunk — which may explain why 40% of the shuttles have crashed. And we learned all of this before today’s NASA press conference about all the whacked-out shit NASA has been doing instead of sending spaceships to other planets so we can escape this world before the aliens attack.

WTF NASA

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Oh, Hackman, he's great in everything. - WonketteIs NASA trying to cause as many terrible space disasters as they can? First, we learned NASA is letting all the astronauts drunk-drive whenever they feel like it. An independent panel found at least two occasions on which space adventurers were allowed to fly despite being totally wasted. The panel was convened after crazy astronaut Lisa Nowak drove to Orlando in space-diapers to kill her astronaut boyfriend’s girlfriend. Which is crazier, yes, but somehow it makes a little more sense than letting space jockeys throw back a few space-cocktails before getting behind the throttle of their Space Shuttles. Now comes this confusing outrage. MORE »

NASA Also Can’t Spell the Shuttle’s Name

Friday, July 13th, 2007

Photo by ASSA - WonketteOh, NASA, is there anything you can’t fuck up? The Gerald Ford of space agencies is getting ready for another tragic shuttle launch, so employees decided to cheer everybody up with a happy motivational poster that, as you see, didn’t quite get the Endeavour’s name right.

Another NASA Vehicle Having Trouble Landing

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

The eagle has landed. - WonketteStill feeling slightly patriotic after the new & improved one-day July 4 weekend? Maybe you would like to help the world’s least-competent space agency figure out where to land one of its huge NASA vehicles. This was posted an hour ago in the Washington DC travel forum on Trip Advisor: MORE »

NASA Now Crashing Trains, Too

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

I'm going off the rails of this crazy train ... - WonketteIn a hilarious slapstick NASA version of that one time when Ozzy Osbourne’s jet crashed into Lynyrd Skynyrd’s tour bus or something, a train carrying those giant space shuttle rocket fuel tanks crashed in a forest in Alabama. MORE »

Exile Update: Bush Now Fleeing Entire Planet

Monday, April 9th, 2007

Instant Ubik has all the fresh flavor of just-brewed drip coffee.  - WonketteDespite attempts to retire to Texas or Paraguay or Halliburton’s new Dubai headquarters, George W. Bush’s exile plans keep hitting a snag: Nobody wants him around. But according to a breaking BBC report, the soon-to-be indicted president has finally found a place where the people aren’t protesting his arrival, because there are no people at all. MORE »
