Moon Base

So Newt lost Florida, but I almost wanted him to win. Not like, I wanted him to win because he'd be eaiser to beat, I mean, I almost joined Team Newt for a second. Then I went back to hating him.

I actually love listening to public figures propose daring new ideas that could upend everything we take for granted. So listening to Newt speak, and debate, is a lot of fun.

And you know how much of a sci-fi geek I am. You know I stream Star Trek on Netflix every chance I get. So a moon base sounded pretty cool to me.

But of course, it's retarded.

I don't need to tell you why it's retarded to propose balancing the budget and building a moon base, and it probably sunk Newt's chances in Florida and maybe the whole primary.

It's one of those big, exciting ideas you enjoy in your head and don't blurt out on national TV. Like "I bet it would be really hot if Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis made out." Yes, of course it would, but hot chicks making out is not a solid platform to run for president on.

Neither is a moon base.
