“Officially, the White House says Obama never went to Mars…”
By Dennis G. January 4th, 2012
The title is a quote from Spencer Ackerman’s Danger Room blog from Wired.
He has a great scoop on the latest Obama conspiracy theory (h/t GOS):
As a young man in the early 1980s, Obama was part of a secret CIA project to explore Mars. The future president teleported there, along with the future head of Darpa. [snip]As “Barry Soetero,” the 19-year-old Obama was one of 10 youths selected to secretly teleport to and from Mars, forming a band of interplanetaryTeen Titans. Regina Dugan, the director of Darpa, was another member.
Between 1981 and 1983, Obama is supposed to have visited Mars twice, by way of a teleportation chamber called a “jump room.”
I can’t wait for mittens to work this into his stump speech—and this is very good news for John McCain. It also seems to be good news for birthers as it provides a new explanation for their cause:
You can scoff at the idea of Obama on Mars. But it explains a lot. Obviously the birth-certificate controversy is a side effect of Obama forgetting to sufficiently establish his fake identity as he learned to manipulate time and space.
I wonder if Drudge has turned on the blue light yet and/or if Halperin is on the case?

No no no. Barack Obama is a Time Lord. How else could he fake the evidence of his own birth?

Makes sense that they’d install one of their own at this time. Cover up the truth of what’s really going on. Natural gas fracking don’t cause no earthquakes. Fracking for dilithium crystals is another story.

this one seems legit, you have photographic proof right there in yr post

Oh, wait a minute, I have it! Barack Obama is Lazarus Long, and he went back in time and slept with his own mother! He is his own father!

I wonder if there were also gay trysts on Mars – but with Martians. Is it gay if it’s with a Martian anyways? Inquiring minds need to know.
January 4th, 2012 at 8:27 pm
College of the Siskiyous!? That can mean only one thing. Bigfoot were teleported to Mars too. Probably to breed with Marvin the Martian’s death killer dog, K9, producing killer death Bigdogfoots who will conquer the earth with Acme disintegrator ray guns.

Isn’t it obvious by now that that “Hawaiian birth certificate” is a hologram fabricated by an advanced alien civilization?

This is why Bush wanted to go to Mars. To divert the time line and keep Barry from becoming President!

The funny thing really is, there’s probably a not small number of people that will sincerely believe this (that Obama went to Mars).

Yes, but the ones that really concern me are those who will try to exploit their belief. Example:
A year or so ago, the Georgia legislature heard testimony from a woman who claimed that the Defense Department had put up billboards with a cell phone number that anyone could call which would transmit a signal to the microchips the DoD had implanted in her vagina and cause her great pain. So the legislature passed a law against implanting microchips in people.
Now, I cannot fault that woman. But I have nothing but contempt for the legislators who passed a useless bill which can only reinforce her delusions and those of others like her, rather than doing something that might really help such people, like increasing funding for mental health programs

OT:
With the possibility of an inevitable Romney candidacy looming, Leon Wolf at the Redstate Ranch has called the cowboys out and has started the quadrennial Redstate Roundup to get their cattle in the pen, headed into the chute and onto the slaughterhouse trucks so they can be taken to market, where they are properly rebranded, processed and packaged for consumption by their Chosen One.
Unfortunately for the cowboys some cattle have been startled by the chaos, which caused them scatter and mix with some of the unbranded mavericks, making more of a mess of things. The Redstate cowboys are valiantly trying to round the cows up for their final branding and trip to the slaughterhouse but there is disagreement among them about which brand to use; the Romney brand or the Noot brand. The Perry brand is still popular but some of the cattle think that it won’t sell at market. The Bachmann brand was dropped because of a fear of mad cow disease.
Things are really tough over there at Redstate Ranch.

New Hampshire actually has the largest legislature of any state with a 400 member House. That works out to 1 rep for every 4,000 people or so. It’s not a very good setup for keeping out the riffraff so they always get more than their fair share of the nuts.

Sadly, when Olbermann quit MSNBC, the internet was rancid with conspiracy theories. Even on this very blog, a FrontPager speculated that Obama had ordered MSNBC to fire him.
This has been his entire history. His has great talent. But he freaked out at UPI, CNN, ESPN, Fox Sports, ABC Radio, The New York Yankees, MSNBC (twice), and now Al Gore’s liberal network.
He’s the broadcast version of Billy Martin—a great talent who could never keep it together.

Jesus. You go to sleep for eight hours and this shit happens. How the fuck did this get out?
I just need to make some calls to Langley, methinks, kiddies. None of you go anywhere. If some nice officers knock on your doors, do not panic.
You may wish to pack some clean underwear.

@Ken:
Now imagine being the legislator who voted against this insane bill, explaining this to his neanderthal brethren.

I think that original story is pretty old – I remember seeing it a few months ago. Still a very impressive piece of work.

WEll, this explains everything!

This is an obvious White House plot to distract people from teh very serious questions surrounding “Obama’s” birth cert—no, I’m sorry, I thought I could be sarcastic enough, but I just can’t pull it off.
