Roswell Incident..

[thegoldpt]

Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claim an unidentified
flying object with five aliens aboard crashed on a sheep and cattle
ranch just outside Roswell, NM.

It is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by
the U.S. Air Force and the Federal Government. However, you may not know that in the year of 1948, exactly nine months after that historic day:

Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
John F. Kerry
William Jefferson Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
and Barbara Boxer were born.

This piece of information has now cleared up a lot of things.

It also clears up the question of whether people post things without checking it out.....

Origins: This amusing bit of political humor first hit our inbox in August 2006, positing a connection between July 1947 events in Roswell, New Mexico (i.e., the alleged recovery of an alien spacecraft and its occupants) and the birth nine months later of several currently prominent Democrats.

At the risk of belaboring the obvious by deconstructing humor, we'll point out that the basic premise of the joke doesn't ring true. First of all, the normal human gestation period is about 38 weeks, so children conceived on or shortly after the date of the Roswell incident (8 July 1947) would most likely have been born (assuming ordinary, full-term pregnancies) in April 1948, not March. Secondly, only one of the political figures named was born even approximately nine months after the events as Roswell.

Five of the figures listed were born well before March 1948:

* Dianne Feinstein (U.S. Senator, California): 22 June 1933
* Nancy Pelosi (U.S. Representative, California): 26 March 1940
* Barbara Boxer (U.S. Senator, California): 11 November 1940
* John Kerry (U.S. Senator, Massachusetts): 11 December 1943
* Bill Clinton (former U.S. President): 19 August 1946

Two more of the persons identified were born considerably later than nine months after Roswell:

* Howard Dean (former Governor of Vermont): 17 November 1948

* Charles E. Schumer (U.S. Senator, New York): 23 November 1950

Hillary Rodham Clinton (U.S. Senator, New York) was born on 26 October 1947, a mere three months after the Roswell incident.

Only Al Gore, Jr. (former U.S. Vice-President), who was born on 31 March 1948, came into the world at a time that reasonably fits into the framework of this humorous premise. Quite possibly this item started out as a joke specifically about him, and others later expanded it into a joke about Democrats in general.

I would have taken it as a compliment, being called offspring of a greater intelligence that managed to locate us and travel to us.

It don't take much intelligence to crash into a frigging Planet in the Middle of Frigging NOWHERE.

Oh, sure, they had a flying saucer. But they was just the drivers, eh, and they couldn't even do that without crashing.

It's not like they were the flying-saucer-scientists who designed it.

Sorta like all them folks who can watch a tv but have No Clue as to how it works.

(hell, too many folks cant even explain how a Toaster works).

Superior alien intelligence? Ha!

(Of course the Really Intelligent aliens are proving how smart they are by staying the heck away from this mud-ball full of murderous thugs.)
