QotD, depressing translation edition.

Congress will always choose short-term pork over long-term development unless there’s strong Presidential leadership.” – Glenn Reynolds.

Translation: commercial spaceflight is hosed. This administration simply doesn’t do “strong Presidential leadership.” Particularly when it comes to private space exploration: liberal Democrats have hated space travel since the Great Society. Gotta spend that money right here on Earth, don’t you know?

God save the Republic from scientific illiterates. And from the people who vote for them when they really should have known better, too.

‘Next week on C-SPAN: Cabinet fart-lighting contest!’

God save the Republic.

[UPDATE]: Greek, Roman, what’s the difference? Dead white guy either way, and it’s not like anybody in this administration reads the classics anyway.

So that’s no literacy in English, no math skills, and no historical knowledge. I figured that I could get away with the nerd thing, being one myself – but I may have to apologize to the other members of my sub-group for the implied slur if this keeps up.

I swear, sometimes I almost think that those people pull this stuff just to embarrass me in public (f-bomb warning):

Also, apparently the Vice President uses the same online quote website that the President does. It’s like watching Revenge of the Nerds, only featuring functional illiterates who aren’t good at math.
