Stranger than fiction?

When I was younger I read a lot of science fiction by Robert Heinlein who was very good at creating these entire universes, not without some humor. In his books there'd be all kinds of outrageous (by the standards of the time he wrote it and/or I read it)

I was reminded of that time when I looked at Raw Stories Headlines today:


"Dems try to exclude Clinton from event heralding bill she introduced; Aide reportedly tells ...

Companies offer government 'mind reading' brain scanners

Video: Frist blames CNN for low Republican approval...

Court largely backs Texas redistricting

Post hits NYT: Leak fuels critics"


Unlikely headlines for the future:

1. Bush family donates fortune to charity

...

science fiction novel:

The first one about excluding Clinton seems like a play out of the GOP handbook.

The second one makes you wonder if it is a joke. Maybe it really IS time for the tin foil hats, that is if they work against those brain scanners.

The 3rd one is just so laughable, he might as well blame the sun for rising. The GOP has done carp for this nation and they wanna blame anyone but themselves. SOP nowadays, but never before realistically imaginable to the degree it goes on now.

The Texas redistricting that sent the state Democratic lawmakers on the road while Tom DeLay illegally used Homeland Security resources to look for them. In the past one might have reasonably expected that any half way objective Supreme Court would side against the obvious ploy of off census year redistricting that gave the GOP so much more power. But nowadays, what can you expect from a Sup Ct that intervenes in a presidential election? And then is packed with other so called "non-activist" judges by the current admin? Must be a new def of NON or non-activist.

Last, one of the supposedly leading liberal newspapers "hits" the other supposedly liberal leading paper, The New York Times on a leak. What science fiction novel is that out of?

:kick:

a whacky world view if one DOES NOT believe in the outrageous!!

Instead of being called conspiracy theorists, the doubters will be referred to by some yet to be determined designation.

Ostrich comes to mind, but I like birds.

One who buries ones head in the sand and thinks if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.
