Stupidity not limited to Earthlings

The Weekly World News has silenced its presses. The fantasy paper has announced that it will no longer publish a physical issue; it will just maintain a Website, and that's it.

Above, then-Texas Governor George W. Bush holds up an issue of the WWN in this May 3, 2000 AP file photo. Apparently, aliens in outer space have only managed to tap into Fox News satellites. However, this could be a positive - maybe they'll think that Earth isn't even worth invading if that's all they've looked at.

On a much brighter note, I can never look at pictures from the 2000 campaign without pondering what America would be like today had the Supreme Court not crowned King George president in the fall of 2000. It's likely 9-11 would have still happened; the planning was too far along at that point, and our intelligence agencies too hamstrung, but the War in Iraq? It almost certainly never would have happened.

But, there's no use pining about what might have been, because it doesn't change a thing, because when the fantasizing is over, I still find myself living in a country being "led" by George W. Bush. Less than 545 days to go.
