Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, January 26, 2010

Although projects such as SETI search for signs of extra-terrestrial life on other planets, it's possible that alien life forms could be found "right under our noses -- or even in our noses," according to physicist Paul Davies. "How do we know all life on Earth descended from a single origin? We've just scratched the surface of the microbial world."

Explains GOPpers. They're just a weak strain of ferengi, even the rogue ones.

Anyone here surprised that NG3 took a completely non-political thread and turned his idiotic "I hate righties" schtick to it on the first post?

I didn't think so. I wasn't surprised either.

I think goathole is an alien.

I think Donnerboy has the hots for Uranus.

Check on Pennsylvania Ave... So that's why he can't come up with a birth certificate...:0

I think goathole is an alien.

Actually both I and my hole are.

... and you thought you caught shit when you called her your FB.

#7 Good one. FF

This is all Bush's fault.

If I sneezed or blew real hard do you think I could id myself of Danni, ringmaster, legio and commonsense?---

" you think I could id myself "

Your Freud is showing.

One of the several minors on my 170+ hour BA is psychology.
Once I understood cognitive dissonance I went on with physics.
I'm still in touch with the prof who taught me about cognitive dissonance.

helmreich.socialpsychology.org

He gave me my first real job at Tektite II in the Virgin Islands; Summer 1970.

Very interesting theory, and explains about half the posters here.

Always was fascinated with psychology--would have loved to go deeper into that field---there's a ton of things I would have loved doing---my wife always remarks I need another 9 lives.

Could Be - Just look who the Dems are: Examples are replete, but can they be of this earth?

John "Lurch" Kerry, Barney Frank, Chucky Schumer, Harry "Comatose" Reid, Nancy Pelosi, even Barak Obama without medical records or college records and who knows whether he is born in this galaxy, let alone in Kenya. And who cares.

But it: Could explain why these and others in the Democrat Party are so out of touch with the free borne American People, this Constitution and want to impose their complete rule over us with this horrendous Health Care plan, Cap and Tax and break the back of the American people with Trillions and Trillions of debt on generations to come.

I say its as good an explantion as any.

"---there's a ton of things I would have loved doing---"

I could spend quite a few lifetimes in the Navy.

I ended up spending one in Physics.

It's all good.

If you aknowledge that life could have come from outer space then you must agree that God could have placed it here. But, intolerant libs insist that kids only be taught evolutionary theory.

I wonder how much cognitive dissonance is going on with the posters---

Please don't tell us Rosanne Barr was one of them...

"Please don't tell us Rosanne Barr was one of them..."

Works for me.

Interesting comment---just had one of my kids come out of the Navy with a high security clearance and now has a great job with a defense contractor.

There went my supper.

" Navy "

One of my dearest friends flew Phantoms off aircraft carriers in Viet Nam.

The ice is melting.

And goat, sorry to make you whine, but really, the hit was too obvious to ignore. If I hadn't hit the GOPpers 101 or Fukwad thom would have hit the Dems. Can I help it if you righties are slow?
But cheer up, it sounds like the Rancher is off chickenloving and lookin' to goatsex. Some thing to do next leave. and that's not a typo.

And goat, sorry to make you whine,

???

Which post of mine is a whine? On one of them I noted your usual "i hate righties" remark, on another I admitted to being an alien, and the last was an FF.

Which one of those three are labeling a "whine"?

It's possible that aliens walk among us?

You mean you haven't noticed my superior inteligence????
Sweetie, it isn't terrestial. Your planet could only wish to produce me.

NOw, how do I operate that remote control again???

Some so-called scientists make stupid statements like these and liberals go gaga....

Stick to evidence, not wild guesses....

And this makes nobody think about the actual purpose of SETI?

I'll bet the secret space program is aware of the alien presence:
20100126_1618_c3_1024
20100126_1518_c3_1024 - do any of these craft have the means to "communicate" with SETI?

Now I do understand about protecting public officials however, where were the secret service (evquivelent).

The perp never should have gotten that close.

Anyone with a mother-in-law knows this.

Anybody who has seen multiple episodes of MIB knows this for a fact.

Psychology minors,No offense against you Zat,cause I think your probably ok.

But my experience with psychology minors is either:
What's wrong with me,
Or how can I make you do what I want(junior managers)

Ironically, many space aliens believe that scientists walk among us. But they have no proof.

their are between 12 and 20 million illegal aliens among us.

Considering the life forms around deep sea sulfur vents, it isn't surprising.

"Considering the life forms around deep sea sulfur vents, it isn't surprising."

Some call them "vents." Others view them as "leaks."

(With a wink and a nod Kurt Vonnegut's way.)

Wasn't Vonnegut's "leak" what he called a mirror since he felt they were leaks into another universe? Breakfast of Champions if I remember correctly (probably not, though -- it's been over 35 years since I read it)

Or is it another leak you are referring to? As a huge voneeegut fan, I've got to know these things. LOL

Breakfast of Champions, indeed.

Trout did another thing which some people might have considered eccentric: he called mirrors leaks. It amused him to pretend that mirrors were holes between two universes.

If he saw a child near a mirror, he might wag his finger at a child warningly, and say with great solemnity, "Don't get too near that leak. You wouldn't want to wind up in the other universe, would you?"

Sometimes somebody would say in his presence, "Excuse me, I have to take a leak." This was a way of saying that the speaker intended to drain liquid wastes from his body through a valve in his lower abdomen.

And Trout would reply waggishly, "Where I come from, that means you're about to steal a mirror."

And so on.

By the time of Trout's death, of course, everybody called mirrors leaks. That was how respectable even his jokes had become.


Did you see Vonnegut's May 1945 letter in which he describes some of the events that helped inspire Slaughterhouse-Five? If not, it's at www.lettersofnote.com and well worth reading. Sparse, powerful prose.

Did you see Vonnegut's May 1945 letter...

Thanks to a thread about it here on the DR (surprisingly put up by bbob, IIRC), I did see it. S5 was one of those books that haunted me for a long time after reading it. I was a young teenager then and just beginning to fully grasp the horrors of WWII at about that time as well.

"What's wrong with me,"

Someone who hasn't studied cognitive dissonance yet.

Works for me.

A devastating thought--snot so comforting

This headline teased me yesterday when I first saw it. I thought they were being serious about aliens living among us. Turns out they are just talking about weird life forms that evolve here.

How disappointing! Here I was hoping it was a story of some scientist with a lunatic theory of straight out of Men In Black explaining the likes of Micheal Jackson and Dick Cheney. And all I get is a quite realistic theory about microbes!

...Tiny organisms from distant planets! At least this explains Tila Tequila.

I think it far more likely that aliens live on Earth unnoticed than the absurd notion that an advanced life form can develop the technology for inter-stellar travel and zip across the universe faster than light only to be captured on Jethro's homevideo crashing in the desert.

The idea that a species can outrun a photon and survive yet remain unable to outwit an Earthling is the most unbelievable of all.

I'll believe the gospel writers before I'll believe that shite.

I have been firmly convinced for years that my senior english teacher was an alien...
I swear that we could hear talking coming from the bun in her hair.

So your family is as fucking stupid as you? No shit.

actually believing it possible for life to have traveled here on a meteor, and evolved here makes it easier for me to believe that a god had nothing to do with placing life here.

Stick to evidence, not wild guesses....

takeit-Evidence of Jesus' divinity, Noah's Arc or the burning bush, please.

CIA Creates New (Fantasy) Crop of Terrorists!!!

Complete & Corrected CIA Headline Should Read: "If Space Aliens Live Among Us...Then They Must be Very Evil Terrorists!!!

Space aliens may live among us?

/Getting a real kick out of this thread.

Be Well.
