NASA Vets & Administration Clash Over Moon Plans
mattnyc99 writes "There's a serious feud brewing this week over the Bush administration's plan for a manned mission to the Moon as an eventual stepping stone to Mars. The Planetary Society, a top group of former mission managers, space-based scientists and NASA astronauts argues, is set to rebuke the Moon plan at a conference next month in favor of hopskotching an asteroid on the way to the Red Planet. Agency chief Michael Griffin issued an abnormally strong response to the society, calling it an overly political criticism of Bush for a plan that he says was 'the best legislative guidance NASA has ever had.' Either way, it's clear that the stars are aligning for the whole space race to be reconsidered as a new administration steps into the White House. So far Clinton and Obama (who just added his) are the only contenders with space proposals."
Greetings (or salve) Slashfags. As most of you were educated in public schools, you probably missed out on Latin lessons, along with anything other than advanced welfare claiming skills and AP Ebonics. Well, now's the chance to rectify your pitiful proletarian preparation. To start with, we'll be looking at line 1 of Catullus 16:
Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo,
Or, in English
I'm going to fuck you in the ass and make you suck my dick
The first word is pedicabo - this is the indicative future of the verb pedicare, literally to sodomize, something that Apple users and furries will be familiar with.
ego - I, myself. Not the latter day reference to the arrogance/confidence displayed by the jocks who flushed your head down cubicles and then screwed your sister, but a simple first person reference.
vos - you (plural). Similar to when you'd say "you" addressing a group of friends, if you had any that is.
et and. You (plural) are autistic and of poor hygiene and moral fibre.
immurabo - Future indicative again, this time for the verb immurare - to skull fuck, what those jocks did to your sister (and probably to you in the cubicle, truth be told).
Keep practising, and remember - just because you were born working class scum, doesn't mean you'll die as anything else.
RIP Heath. I'll miss your rock-hard abs and buttfucking ability.
And I know deep-down you hated niggers. I just know it.

Frankly, the US healthcare system is so ridiculously inefficient compared to everywhere else in the developed world, you should be able to fund universal coverage, and get better outcomes, and spend less than you currently do. Heck, we fund near-universal health care here in Australia for the same proportion of national income that you guys spend on Medicare and the VA health system.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo
