Houston, We Really Have a Problem

This week, everybody who remembers the safe return of the Apollo 11 Spacecraft 46 years ago, e-mailed an entry to the Whistleblower Limerick Contest.  The winner is a boyhood Neil Armstrong’s next-door neighbor, Mr. Gorsky, whom the first moon walker recalled during his historic lunar landing.

Mr. Gorsky wins an official photograph of Obama from his photo-op with Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin in the Oval Office on July 20, 2009 to commemorate their historic landing; a White House Video of Obama’s speech where he claimed to be in Hawaii during the moonwalk when his own biography says he was really living in Indonesia at the time, and an official White House clarification concerning Obama’s account of being in Hawaii during the event.

Not since Bill Clinton got caught lying about watching black churches being torched in Arkansas when none ever caught on fire has a presidential memory been discredited so quickly. No wonder our Quote for the Day Committee chose Abraham Lincoln’s: “No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.”

Mr. Gorsky’s winning entry is:

Back when America put a man on the moon
The national debt had yet to balloon.
“Made in the USA” was still a good motto
And we weren’t called “arrogant” by some a-hole mulatto.
Apollo 11 was the sweetest patriotic tune.

And from the Anderson Laureate, who wonders why they don’t give out Pulitzer Prizes for Limericks:

Back when Americans put a man on the moon,
Apollo 11 was the spacemen’s cocoon.
Just about eight years sooner
Before the expedition lunar
A Hawaiian and Kenyan spawned a buffoon.

The first line of next week’s limerick is:
“Liberal outrage is so phony and fake”

Remember: We never print all the bad stuff we know and certain people ought to be damn glad we don’t, especially 95-year-old Deadbeat DemocRAT John Glenn, who Hurley the Historian says just happened to be born on Monday’s date in 1921. Is that a coincidence or what?!

Whistleblower Video of the Day

Neil Armstrong’s One Small Step

First steps on the moon by Neil Armstrong while he says his now immortal words.”On small step for man, One giant leap for man-kind.”

NOTE: There were two cameras – Buzz Aldrin had a movie camera running from the window of the Lunar Module, and the film was later developed. The television camera was mounted on the descent stage and as Armstrong descended he pulled a cord that deployed the camera and set it operating.

   Note: We guarantee iPhone subscribers who don’t go home and see links and pictures on their computers are not going to appreciate all of this good stuff today.
