Comments on: Obama calls for rational, fact based debate on important issues https://gregladen.com/blog/2011/04/27/obama-calls-for-rational-fact-1/ Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:42:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.8 By: Scott Rowed https://gregladen.com/blog/2011/04/27/obama-calls-for-rational-fact-1/#comment-502438 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:42:48 +0000 http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2011/04/27/obama-calls-for-rational-fact-1/#comment-502438 What is hidden under Donald Trump’s hair?

A reliable source tells me that Donald Trump is an undercover agent sent by Xenu, who is secretly sucking the intelligence from earthlings by applying a galactic vacuum around their skulls. He is careful to avoid killing his victims, and leaves them with just enough mental capacity to attend Tea Party rallies or work as commentators for Fox News.

I am, of course, bringing this to the public’s attention as a service. America is struggling with economic, environmental and social difficulties that are being ignored while we’re being sidetracked over the issue of Trump’s origin and intentions. It’s time for him to come clean and prove that he is not a Xenu operative. A certificate of live birth is not sufficient as it can be forged. He will also need to provide a DNA sample, and lift up his hair (or remove it, if applicable) on live TV, to prove to Americans once and for all that he doesn’t have thetan R6 implants in his forehead.

perhaps the media will finally figure out they’re being played for suckers.

Oh, please. The media doesn’t get played. They choose to suck of their own free will : )

Much like the boy who called wolf, perhaps the media will finally figure out they’re being played for suckers. Somehow, I doubt it though.

I can put two and two together. He is the first “native son” president, and they can’t afford to lose that stature.

You call yourself a scientist, Greg? You must be one of the 99% who are wrong.

T. Barnum. [By the way, did you know Barnum was on a US half dollar – yes, a real, legal tender 1936 50c piece!]

What’s he hiding? Did he change a D to a B? We have a right to know.

The righties are impervious to evidence. Watch them invent something else to say it’s not real. These are the same people who say 99 of 100 scientists are wrong while their one crackpot is right. Even with no facts.

He is a modern P. T. Barnum. Anything that keeps people talking about him is a success. Obama doing this will only add fuel to the fire and it will be an even more inane issue after this one. Oh wait, aren’t they now questioning his grades?
