Houston, We Have A Problem
Jul 9th
Please tell me they’re joking. They have to be joking, right? There’s no way this is true!
The foremost mission of NASA — the National Aeronautic and Space Administration — is now to improve relations with the Muslim world?
I thought we were talking about NASA here. You know, the guys who went to the moon, took pictures of space, and popularized Tang.
And now we’re going to make the Muslim world “feel good about” themselves? I’m not making that up; Administrator Charles Bolden said, “to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science…”
Absolutely! Here’s a few right off the top of my head. Increased understanding of geology in arid climates, an in-depth study of the “fight-or-flight” response in an isolated sociopolitical setting, and a deeper understanding of dishonesty on an international scale. To be fair, in the 11th century, Ibn al-Haytham was important in developing the scientific method, but that was almost a thousand years ago.
Wanna compare to some of Israel’s contributions?

Israel vs Iran and Turkey
You just can’t wake up Monday mornings any more without some country who hates Israel acting suspicious!
A couple of things here: first of all, Iran badly wants the S-300 missile system from Russia. For those that don’t know, the S-300 is a long range surface-to-air Russian missile. Obviously, to defend against an Israeli strike on Iran before Iranian nukes are a reality. How is this not suspicious?
Second thing, Turkey wants an apology from Israel. For what, you may ask? No, not for taking their favorite toy. No, it’s because of the Israel flotilla raid! Clearly just another attempt at international propaganda against Israel defending themselves.
So I want you guys to let me know. Am I nuts, am I crazy? Feel free to comment below.

Israel vs Iran
So, remember when I talked about Iran sending a flotilla to Israel?
Well, it turns out, they’re not going to any more. Why? Because Israel put too many restrictions on them. Isn’t that the point of a blockade, though?
Eh, they’ll probably just send nukes instead.
