Shootin' Rockets to the Moon and Other Things I want to Sound Off About

There are two things that I can’t shut up about today. I don’t have a whole heap of time right now, so I’m going to try to be as concise (and brutal) as possible. Ahem.

They shot a rocket INTO the moon today. Does this strike anyone else as a terrible idea? I know that they want to find out if the moon has water in / on it and whether or not it can harbor life (i.e. us), likely because those in the know happen to know that we’re a few minutes away from total decimation as far as Earth is concerned. HOWEVER… are these rocket shooters completely unaware that it is the moon that controls the water on THIS planet? Didn’t it occur to anyone that by changing the shape of our long-time orbiter, we might be drastically changing the face of the planet that all of humankind currently lives on? No? Morons.
I want to congratulate Barack Obama on his Nobel Peace Prize. Some say that it is coming too soon, as he is less than a year into his presidency. I guess that *might* be a *sort of* legitimate thing to bring up. What’s getting me is that there are people actually saying that this is “cheapening” the award. Again, think before you open your mouth, you guys. Do you know how this sounds?? Maybe you do and maybe you’re fine with that. Maybe these people are also fine with basically stating that they just don’t like this dude and can’t quite put their respective fingers on why… hm. I wonder what it could be… OH, WAIT! I KNOW! It’s because he’s black. Yep, the half-bred Lebanese girl just pet the elephant in the room on its bigoted little head. Way to go, America. I am indeed grimacing with a lowered head on behalf of all the white-ish people who are not acting like assholes about this administration.

Okay. That’s all for today. Ten four, readers.
