"... a coming [looming] space alien emergency ... sounds preposterous... [would the American] military arm of the blob would be so dumb as to try to pass off drones as alien spacecrafts ... something out of a 1950s horror movie ... Maybe it’s actually come to that in this super dumbed-down age.

James, please use that last line as the theme of a future column. "Safe and Happy" reading continues ... Commune founder driving all over Vermont sweeping the pharmacy shelves clean of crab lice ointments!
12/17/24: Thank you. Unfortunately, Carl Sagan's credibility to me is shot to hell, having accepted a huge publisher's advance for a book that he never wrote, and never returned the money.
I could never stand him for the simple fact he was a raging leftist. If he could have simply restricted his comments to science, it would have been tolerable.
12/17/24: An almost universal cloning procedure. The bastards have done almost incalculable damage politicizing their (looney-tunes) version of "Science."
Sagan seemed ok, but in any case, a problem with people is that they can fall into that 'give me the man and I'll give you the crime' sort of trap. IOW, it's almost too easy, like I'm unsure I've ever met, or ever will meet, a perfect angel in human form.
Except on this blog of course.
Granted, we can get some real nasties that make pin-ons a snap, but on the other side, we can also go witch-hunting.

At this point in time, I no longer give a shit. I got some great Kentucky Bourbon to share with the first terrestrial who shows up!
12/17/24: And he'll have a barrel of Jupiter Hootch to pass around, as well. Sounds like a plan! (Plan 9 From Outer Space!)
No time stamp? WTF? How are we supposed to archive by date?
LOFL
U shd read the book by Carl Sagan, "Contact", and watch the film.

A red diaper doper baby. In Bethesda, Brookline, Manhattan, etc, they raised them up to hate White America.
