How Mars is Governed
β¦The Martian government was directed by ten men, the leader of whom was elected by universal suffrage for five years and entitled "Elon." Two houses of Parliament enacted the laws to be administered by the Elon and his cabinet elders and was limited to a
membership of 60 persons, each being appointed for life by the Elon as vacancies occurred by death.β¦

Space Caligulaβs father read the book and named his son Elon.

As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nationβs 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year.

            President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

            The fact that Trump and Elon assume that anyone who was put in a position of responsibility at Fort Knox would of course steal the gold is revealing.

                Walter Huss's plan to take back America for God, one precinct at a time, Part 1 of 2
                Or, a reminder that Steve Bannon isn't the first right winger to propose a grassroots "precinct strategy" for a populist take over of the GOP

            Something to understand about the nazi salute nonsense is that back during Reconstruction there was a cottage industry of Klan denial, where Democratic papers would pretend the KKK didn't exist or point to their stupid rituals as evidence they were a Republican delusion or otherwise harmless
