Alien nation
We are about to endure a news cycle in which each of the Presidential contenders is asked whether they believe that earth has been visited by aliens.
This is the outgrowth of a non-denial by Dennis Kucinich, responding to a debate question that should never, ever have been asked.
This is worth being angry about, but don’t bother. It’s just the way the media is.
Oh…and Dr. Paul? The correct answer to this question is: “No, I don’t believe in aliens. What’s with all these radicals and conspiracy theorists running for President, anyway?”
It pissed me off enough to turn off the TV.

I don’t for a moment blame you.
Chris Matthews is leading off EVERY post-debate candidate interview with the spaceman issue. Bill Richardson, who has spent months trying to get anyone at all to ask him a serious policy question, looked very much like he wanted to punch Matthews when he was asked about this.
I would not have blamed him for doing so.

Yeah, I saw that pififul exchange. It was on the promise of asking Biden the *same fucking inane question* that I decided I had had enough.

Dennis Kucinich IS a space alien.

The Supreme Court is split on this decision, as well.
