Is Peckman related to Balloon Boy’s daddy?
but when the mothership DOES land in Denver and the aliens invite us all on a ride, you don’t get to join us. You can just stand there on the ground and watch us have fun flying around in a spaceship. Ha ha ha.
Are you an alien racist? Are you denying the opportunity for all of us to get know our celestial brothers and sisters?
I am concerned for you….
There was a Star Trek – Enterprise episode that aired a few years ago where this 23rd century Tom Tancredo-type pol headed up this organization called “Terra Prime” and was demanding that all of the visiting space aliens be order to leave the earth immediately because they were contaminating our culture.
If that happened, I’d be sure to change my tune and delete this diary so our new alien overlords will know that I am ready to serve them.
special technology to pick up this information. They know you don’t want them. You’re already on a special list, your brain gets eaten first.
Damn! The secret plan! Sorry, Master…
We will have SOOOOOOO much to comment on.
I am sure i don’t have to point out that i am joking about all of this, right?
that people recognized that most amendments that end up on the ballot are poorly written, full of unintended consequences and poorly understood by the general population.
Maybe if people see that you can get a UFO welcoming committee on the ballot they will start to see that government by plebiscite is stupid.
Maybe I should get a ballot initiative to declare a holiday on my birthday and require everyone to buy me a coffee (1 sugar-cream if its a little burnt) and give me a neck rub when I ask.
My favorite comment from the Post article comments:
Nonetheless – I pray it does not violate the Taxpayer Bill of Rights!
Or, if they’re lucky, Romulus. Definitely not Vulcan though, as this initiative is highly illogical.
We’re double nerds.
I think it’s great.
How many other cities have a UFO commission?
If they make a wrong turn, they could end up in Mesa County, and we wouldn’t want the aliens getting the wrong impression.
I think we could make it happen.
Anyway, remember that this isn’t Colorado’s first foray into UFO investigations.
The Condon Report came out of CU.
was the only one who could get enough gullible voters to sign petitions!
The way we’re going into debt we’re just about maxed out on the Chinese credit card. There’s nobody left on earth that will buy our notes. We need to find these aliens ASAP and sell them some T-Bills.
Any way we can move up the date of the initiative and make it state wide?
I came here in 1997 from the Pleidian system, basically to educate you all in the ways of advance races, so that you might help transition the world into a new dimension. My first task was to change the majority in Colorado’s state legislature, then in its congressional delegation, and finally in its electoral college.
My next job is to transform Gecko into a leftist, and get MAH elected to any office.
Stay tuned.
Talk about boldly going where no one has gone before…..
That the fact that President Obama was born on the planet Kenya (amazing how some names are the same in different galaxies) will become public knowledge!
It’s like the amazing fact that every culture has a drink called gynnan tonnyx.
When you land can we schedule an interview?
Kang and Kodos both really love their families and are well spken, considering they don’t have larynxes. They display a boundless enthusiasm for their mission to destroy Planet Earth and subjugate humanity. You’d think they’d be jaded conquering another race of bipeds, but you’d be wrong. What you get with Kang is a slimy overlord willing to work long hours, and someone who can breathe ammonia if he needs to — that’s dedication! Kodos is harder to get a handle on. I didn’t want to ask anything controversial because his mandibles were dripping, but he’s full of ideas how to enslave humanity and seems to relish his current position.
Nobody asked me to sign this one. I’m not even necessarily inclined to believe in extraterrestrial intelligence (just as I haven’t seen concrete evidence to support the notion of terrestrial intelligence). But it would have been fun to help put this one on the ballot.
n/t
I’m a freakin’ alien!
The signature gatherer asked me to sign a petition to put a “public safety” measure on the ballot. People who don’t read the text might sign it thinking they’re doing a good thing.
Do you think you’d sign it if it had been posed to you in a deceptive manner?
The ethical orientation of the petition gatherer.
Guess it depends on the ballot question. I tend to at least scan the full title text of whatever I’m going to be signing, in order to have some inkling of the subject at hand. I’ve refused to sign several petitions, myself.
But, in this case, if the petition gatherer had said that the issue was to protect “public safety,” and I had read the actual ballot title and skimmed some of the text, yes, I probably would have laughed my ass off and still signed it.
