I spend a depressing amount of time writing about crackpots these days. On the other hand, it can be pretty amusing too. So does that mean I’m depressed but having fun anyway? Um….I guess so. For example, here’s Rush Limbaugh yesterday commenting on the news that NASA has discovered running water on Mars:
I said, “what do you think they’re gonna do with this news?” I said, “look at the temperature data, that has been reported by NASA, has been made up, it’s fraudulent for however many years, there isn’t any warming, there hasn’t been for 18.5 years. And yet, they’re lying about it. They’re just making up the amount of ice in the North and South Poles, they’re making up the temperatures, they’re lying and making up false charts and so forth. So what’s to stop them from making up something that happened on Mars that will help advance their left-wing agenda on this planet?”
….OK so there’s flowing water on Mars. Yip yip yip yahoo. You know me, I’m science 101, big time guy, tech advance it, you know it, I’m all in. But, NASA has been corrupted by the current regime. I want to find out what they’re going to tell us. OK, flowing water on Mars. If we’re even to believe that, what are they going to tell us that means? That’s what I’m going to wait for. Because I guarantee, let’s just wait and see, this is September 28, let’s just wait and see. Don’t know how long it’s going to take, but this news that there is flowing water on Mars is somehow going to find its way into a technique to advance the leftist agenda. I don’t know what it is, I would assume it would be something to do with global warming.
I dunno, I just can’t tell anymore. Is he serious? Is this meant as a joke? Or what?
But I guess it doesn’t matter, since his audience will take this seriously regardless. So now we can expect some new kind of conspiracy theory to make the rounds about how the Obama administration is fabricating news about water on Mars. Probably to distract attention from Hillary’s email server. Or Benghazi. Or Planned Parenthood. Or one of the dozens of other mind-blowing scandals that Obama somehow keeps under wraps thanks to his pals in the liberal media. Or, as Rush says, maybe it’s really all about global warming something something something.
Or something.
