Hey just out of curiosity...WHAT ever happened to us going to MARS?
Remember?

The MONKEY made that big speech where he said we were going to MARS?

Anyone heard THAT discussed recently?

I love it when they roll "product" out like this, make a big splash with it, and if it doesn't click immediately, they pull it off the shelf and forget about it.

These guys are some BOLD dumb assholes, I'll give them that.

1. That pipe dream got stuffed in the same memory hole. . .
as that series of weekly speeches Smirk was going to give on the future of Iraq during the run-up to the transfer of power last June. Remember that? He gave one speech, the nation gave a collective WTF?, and Smirk's handlers pulled him from the stage.

3. Same thing that happened to the 18 billion for AIDS in Africa
Does anyone really expect this unprincipaled pimp for the mega rich to actually do something other than transfer wealth to the wealthy?

When he says he will do something to enrich the upper class, I beleive him. Everything else is a distraction for the morons that listen to anything he says and takes it seriously.

6. After the big announcement of 18 billion for aids, the administration
actually cut funds that were already allocated. There is no end to the chicanery. Hello America, are you awake yet?

9. The plan's changed.
Now, instead of Mars we're going to Dizz Knee Land.

And I just flipped off President George,
I'm going to Dizz Knee Land.
