Space Shuttle is DOOMED - Cheney to attend Saturday's Launch
I know the weather may threaten to postpone the launch, and maybe that needs to happen as Darth Cheney is scheduled to be there for a Saturday launch.

NASA has enough bad karma w/out the Dark Lord being there too. His nefarious cloud of evil will have foam falling off the external tank like Mann Coulter shaking the dandruff out of her coke choked hair.

1. I hope he'll be seated 20 feet from the base of the rocket.
To get a really good view of the launch

14. i know, i think about that every day...and i acknowledge to myself,
Edited on Thu Jun-29-06 10:42 AM by flordehinojos
every day of my life ever since jebutinsky bush started to run for public office here in florida, that it was a very said for florida when he decided to move his entire family to our florida soil so many years ago.

today i even wonder if way back when, when he moved columba and his children here, if the bushes were not already planning some take over of the government even way back then--being that they knew florida electoral votes have a heavy (big) prize purse on them.

given the Machiavellian nature of the bushes i put nothing past poppy and his spit, i mean children, on this earth.

7. That's not even funny
I know I'm biased...I grew up in Cocoa Beach and have a family of Space Center workers. I was on the press lawn (in front of that giant clock they show on teevee) for the first two launches. The past shuttle tragedies aren't anything to joke about, there is so much at stake.

Can't we instead just hope that one of the foam chunks falls off and lands on Dick's head? I don't even want to joke about losing another astronaut.

I was thinking about driving over for the week-end to watch the launch, but now, fuck it.
