Will Wes Clark form a "Department Of Time Travel?

[mzmolly]

"I still believe in e=mc², but I can't believe that in all of human history, we'll never ever be able to go beyond the speed of light to reach where we want to go," said Clark. "I happen to believe that mankind can do it."~ Wes Clark.

Though I found this on a parody site, I do fear what the RW would do with this information in a general election.

Here is the article

1. I think Parody sites are pretty Kewl, at least you know your message

is getting out. They couldn't develop a parody site without knowing your message.

I love the site. I think it is funny!

GO WES GO

[mzmolly]

4. It's good to have a sense of humor and as you say...know your enemy

:hi:

[xultar]

6. AMEN, if you enemy plays their hand first you can counter and

kick their asses. There's nothin like a good ass kickin early in the morning!
tee hee heee...

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

2. I hope so, he'll have a lock on the geek vote

[mzmolly]

7. he he, I wonder whos got that locked up now?

'the geek vote' ;)

[xultar]

10. Dr Nye, the Science Guy has the geek vote in a Lock! n/t

[mzmolly]

12. Has he endorsed anyone yet?

Cause if not, here's a great photo op if he's a Clark supporter.

[KittyWampus]

21. MzMolly You Are TOOOO Funny!

:D

[mzmolly]

29. heh heh...

That was a fun find for certain. Glad you appreciated it. ;)

[xultar]

Tee Hee heee, that was quick too! n/t

[xultar]

22. oops! My bad n/t

[w13rd0]

3. I'm not a Clark supporter...

...but I beleive mankind can achieve FTL as well. Of course, that statement says NOTHING about time travel. Of course Drudge and his fellow right wing hacks take a film they saw in grade school and 'extrapolate' Clarks meaning. Yeah, maybe he can go back in time and keep Bush from stealing Florida...

[mzmolly]

5. Wouldn't that be great, undoing the 2000 election.

;)

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

15. lol! That's his secret plan

:evilgrin: :bounce:

[mzmolly]

27. Ok then he's got my vote...

Ok, welllllll maybe not? :evilgrin:

[LuminousX]

8. The follow up to the Wired article

http://www.pc-radio.com/clark-timetravel.html

On September 30, I published an article at Wired News entitled Clark Campaigns at Light Speed.

The article reported on remarks made by Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark during a campaign event Sept. 27 in New Castle, New Hampshire. At the event, Clark stated his belief that humans will someday be able to travel faster than the speed of light.

Due to a faulty understanding of physics on my part, I originally reported that Clark had professed a belief in the possibility of time travel. While some experts have previously said that travelling faster than light implies time travel, Clark in fact did not specifically profess an interest in time travel.

After several readers e-mailed me about this aspect of my article, later on Sept. 30 I revised the online version of the story to avoid suggesting Clark had advocated research into time travel. (The quotes attributed to him, of course, remained unchanged.)


###
Let the pukes try to bash Clark on this, the fact of the matter is Clark never claimed it, it was a writer's bad understanding of physics.

[mzmolly]

14. Interesting and good to know!

Phew! That makes two of us with a bad understanding of physics. ;)

[BearFlagDemocrat]

Facts have little to do with it...

As anyone who remembers the whole "Al Gore invented the internet" bruhaha remembers.

[xultar]

34. I happen to know that Wes isn't the first inventor of the time machine

Give it up for the BRUVAS! A black man invented the first time machine because he wanted to go back to visit his dead father.

GO BRUVA! GO BRUVA!! I saw it on Discovery or TLC

[mzmolly]

35. Int-teresting.

:donut: Off for coffee folks, it's been fun. Thanks for keeping this good natured.

Mzmolly :hi:

[Tom Rinaldo]

9. Somehow

I don't think the man who was entrusted with this assignment:

Apr. 1994 - June 1996 Director for Strategic Plans and Policy, J-5, The Joint Staff, Washington, D.C.

is particularly vulnerable to accusations that he is a weirdo flake. I would love for the Republicans to go after Wes with that one. It would be fun to watch them make total fools out of themselves.

And if you keep using thread headers like that one, I would be concerned over how you might be perceived by others.

[xultar]

11. Don't worry, turnabout is fair play other Clark supporters posted Dean

parody site threads. Alls fair in love and war. Clark is a big boy and we are all big boys and girls. We can take a liitle criticism and parody.
Just remember at first they were ignoring Clark. Now, they aren't. That is a good thing.

For people to take their time to mess with you they must be concerned for some reason. I take it that the race is still in swing and that Wes must be gaining some speed.

So parody sites don't bother me or the vast number of Clarkies!

[mzmolly]

13. Are you serious, they'll use anything

but that's another topic I guess.

[xultar]

16. Yeah, I'm waiting for the Wes Fathered Children with Aliens or

Wes played soldier neekid, or Wes wanted to star in the West Wing but he did't get the part so he pulled a Sean Young and now he's blacklisted from hollywood.

[mzmolly]

32. Here is some good dish...

"An important clue was provided by Wes Clark ... Wes offered proof that abductions were only demonic encounters. He said several of cis "abductees" had stopped their abduction experiences by screaming
"Jesus is my savior" when aliens were next seen."

Though I'm certain this is not our Wes, I doubt the Republicans are above using it in the coming election ;) Then again, they wouldn't want to lose the corner on the Jesus market, so ???

http://www.nationalufocenter.com/alien/abductions.htm

Can you tell I got up wayyy to early this am? *yikes*

[tameszu]

37. What's the deal with Sean Young?

And, uh, go Clark!

(And if the RW considers this as A-List stuff vs. Clark, then they are screwed if we nominate him!)

[FDRrocks]

17. That would rock!

But when would this so called department exist?

[ShimokitaJer]

23. It either already exists...

... or it never will. Wrap your mind around that one.

The only think keeping us from moving from point A to point B before light can is our stubbornly insisting that we have go through all the points in between.

[TacticalPeek]

26. But don't we first have to get to the point halfway to B?

And . . .

So, not only is time travel impossible.

Travel is impossible.

:)

[KittyWampus]

31. Especially On Holiday Weekends!

"Travel Is Impossible"

[mzmolly]

28. Last week of course!

:P

[alexwcovington]

18. Obviously a freeper site

"Paid for by Citizens for a Democrat Candidate for President of the United States."

No progressive would neglect the "ic" in "Democratic"

Not that I have any strong opinions on Clark...

[mzmolly]

33. Totally freeper, they link to RW trash too.

wadda ya know?

[KittyWampus]

19. Republicans Like Weapons Systems & Democrats Like Time Travel Machines

Works for me. And here's the Campaign Slogan-

Republicans are stuck in the Past. VOTE DEMOCRAT AND STEP INTO THE FUTURE!

How's that, she asks? :dunce:

[xultar]

20. Elect Wes and get Back to the Future! n/t

[Ksec]

24. Geez, Shoot the man fer bein' edacated.

I perfer a guy with some edumicashan runnin' thangs.

25. then he can have the Doctor as vice-president

this Doctor--

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/

[PsychoDad]

42. The Clark / Who Ticket...

Works for me, but can the Doctor run as VP, as he is not a native born citizen...
And which Doctor? I vote for number 5

[PsychoDad]

43. The Clark / Who Ticket...

Works for me, but can the Doctor run as VP, as he is not a native born citizen...
And which Doctor? I vote for number 5

[Silverhair]

30. Actually, it may be possible, sort of...

I read an intresting article some years back in a reputable science magazine. I take Scientific American and Discover so it was probably one of those but I'm not sure.

It is definately true that you can't travel faster than light in you local time-space reference, if the local reference is itself moving, then you can go faster than light. The article talked about creating a wrinkle (Warp?)that would be fast moving, (Warp speed?) in the continuim and riding in that wrinkle. Sort of like surfing the cosmos.

Wish I could remember where I read it. So Clark isn't that far out of it.

Even if he is off base on that one, it at least shows that he has a mind that will look at new ideas, that is able to think outside the paradigm, and that in and of itself is a good thing.

[kaybea]

36. To the rightwing...

e=mc squared simply translates into:

economy=master card squared. Borrow and spend, they understand.

That there science larnin' stuff tho ain't approved.

What will the "RW do with this information"? Probably spin like this:

"Al Gore thought he invented the internet. Wesley Clark thinks he invented the speed of light. Is he an elitist commie bastard like that Albert "pinko" Einstein?"

Just a guess.

:think:

[bobthedrummer]

38. I once started a thread about the neo-con moles around Clark

and how he would be harmful to the Democratic Party in the long run.
But I stated my reasons specifically in terms of his military past, he's talked about his neo-conservative friends in DoD, it is contamination by their influence in DC and military think tanks that leads to pork and war IMO.
It would be a nice thing to see a Dean/Clark ticket. Dean will beat Bush next year regardless of running mate. Me, I'm smelling the coffee yet voting for Dennis Kucinich in the February 17th, 2004 Wisconsin Primary.

Howard Dean has always been my second choice. I beware of neo-con moles around Clark. Militarism is a huge component of fascism IMHO.
I don't hate Clark by any means and would even like to see him as VP on Dean ticket, but then again I don't belong to any political party myself but I do hate fascists in Republican Party.

[Pontus]

39. But Arnold is a Republican!

And better watch out for the Borg attack!

[John_H]

40. Cool? Does that mean we can get the old moderate Dean back?

[Jackhammer Jesus]

41. That quote's been played out on FAUX already.

I think Clark said that a couple of weeks after his campaign started, and Fox was the only station to pick up on it - for a while, they'd show that quote every time they mentioned Clark, even on completely unrelated topics. I guess it didn't stick.

[meow mix]

44. this post mimics freep posts

its an exact duplicate with what the freeps often like to say.

congrats!! LOL
pretty sad when you steal jokes from the pigs over there.

[peabody71]

45. Anybody read JohnTitor.com?

Flippin creap out.

[KittyWampus]

46. Time Travel Is An Important Issue In The 2004 Campaign

We can't let the naysayers win.

[TahitiNut]

47. We're ALL Time Travelers!

We're all traveling into the future at the same rate, ignoring relativistic differences. Some of us are being dragged kicking and screaming and some of us are pushing the envelope ... but we're all time travelers.

Every time we look at a star we're looking into the past. The Hubble telescope looks into the past more than most.

Government and industry and ordinary people invest a lot in "time travel" ... planning, scheduling, projecting, betting, predicting, investing, and insuring just to mention a few investments. Then there's archeology, history, storage, journaling, photographs, documentaries, and all kinds of investments in the past. $Billions and $billions.
