Rocket To Russia
By Mitch Berg
Gary Miller – late of the great, lamented Truth Vs. The Machine, from which this blog’s “First Ringer” is a refugee, has switched hos oeuvre to Facebook, a medium whose Ambrose Bierce he very clearly is.
And Gary notes something that had flashed across my mind as I listened to the State of The Union:
…the President’s continued references to Sputnik as a way to inspire young people would be much more effective, if: 1. They still taught kids in publik skouls about Sputnik. 2. The country which launched Sputnik, the Soviet Union, still existed and hadn’t collapsed under the burden of a socialist command economy similar to one which the President hopes to implement here. Other than that, heck of a story.
Heh.

Heh. Just so long as Gary doesn’t make like Bierce and wander off into Mexico some day, never to return.

Another WTF moment not going to waste.

Ambrose Bierce may not be the most flattering analogy.

I’m thinking in the “Devil’s Dictionary” sense of the term.

Desert? I’m not so worried.
Farmville? I’m worried.

The Devil’s Dictionary is a book every conservative ought to own, by the way.

Can’t we get Obumbler on the rocket?
