Is There Life on Venus? Is Such a Thing Even Possible?

Venus courtesy of www.esa.int
If you were to ask me a few weeks ago, "Is there life on Venus?", I would have told you..."Uhhh...of course there isn't!!  Are you insane!!??  How could you ask me such a STUPID question!!! HAHAHAHAHA!"  But wait, true believers...not so fast...  

It appears there have been some recent findings, that could shed some light on this.











Let's learn a little bit more...












Life on Venus:  Is Such a Thing Even Possible?

ancient mysteries expert Giorgio Tsoukalos

Russian scientist Leonid Ksanfomaliti recently revealed that photos taken by a Russian satellite during a 1982 mission to Venus seemed to point to the existence of living creatures, including a being that "resembled a scorpion."  SEE:  Life Spotted on Venus - Russian Scientist | Science | RIA Novosti

And so we ask...






"Is such a thing even possible??"








NO!

"NO Because no." poster, created by an unknown genius


NASA disregarded the claims made by Ksanfomaliti, saying the supposed life-like creatures were more easily explained as a " piece of the lander",  a "lens cap", and "noise in a digital image."

So, there that settles that.



Of course there will always be skeptics who doubt the official government line on this...



Mitt Romney vs. Newt Gingrich: (catch up on current events in the Republican race for president in 30 seconds or so)

Newt "the comeback kid" Gingrich is seemingly soaring to a dead heat with Mitt Romney in Florida

Well, once again proving that jimmyfungus.com is the greatest time saving website on all of the internets, I will sum up what is going on in the Republican race for all of you in a matter of just a few minutes.

Mitt Romney, trying to fend off a mounting challenge from a feisty Newt Gingrich, goes on the attack in the Florida debate.  Mitt takes umbrage to Newt's plan to spend billions or more on a moon base, and tells him "you're fired!" in this clip:






In this clip John King reveals that Newt did not provide "witnesses" to ABC to contradict his ex-wife's version of events, as he previously stated:





However, kids, am I the only one to point out the obvious? What would these "witnesses" know about a personal and private conversation Newt supposedly had with his wife about having an "open marriage" anyway? Seems like that was just a diversion from Mr. Newt to begin with. Not taking sides here. Just stating the obvious.

In other news, former Senate Majority Leader and well respected Republican guy, Bob Dole, is apparently siding with the Romney camp.  Well, long story short (now i am paraphrasing here), but Dole pretty much says Newt is a temperamental dumb ass who wouldn't make a good president.  SEE: Dole assails Gingrich in plea to conservatives – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.co .  On the other side of the coin, Rush Limbaugh and Mike Reagan rush to Newt's defense, at least on some issues...SEE:Mike Reagan, Rush Limbaugh Blast Romney ...

Well, earlier in the primary season we saw Glenn Beck insult Newt by calling him a "progressive", and giving Mitt a tepid endorsement saying, “If I had a gun to my head, I'll vote for Mitt Romney.”  No, seriously,...he meant that in a good way.  Also, during the South Carolina contest we saw tea party hero Sarah Palin endorse Newt.  All of which is very confusing. 

The fact of the matter, if you look at the careers of Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, AND Barack Obama...they really have not been that far apart on the issues.  But now teams Mitt and Newt want to bash each other over the head about who is more "conservative."  When we get to the general election, the nominee will want to make themselves look more all inclusive, and less extreme...and that's the way the crazy game goes.

Anywho, I still think the nominee will be Mitt Romney, because the Republican party always nominates the person who's "turn" it is, to run...McCain, Dole, Reagan etc.  Having said that, maybe Mitt just duped me into thinking it was his "turn" because he has been "running for president for 900 years" as Don Imus said...and I have mistaken his persistence for high standing in the Republican party.  Welp, we'll see how it goes...

The plot thickens.

Max Keiser wants to "Kill Hollywood"

Max Keiser with his sunglasses on... like a Boss
In the latest episode of the Keiser Report entitled "Kill Hollywood!", renegade economist Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert interpret the controversy over SOPA as a battle, in fact a "civil war", especially in California between silicone valley, on the side of technology and free speech, and old guard oligarchic Hollywood (the MPAA and the RIAA) who want a "copyright cartel" in Max's view to put a "muzzle on free speech" to maintain their monopoly.

Max and Stacy go on to say, that the internet has especially become enemy number one to the American government since Mubarak was overthrown in Egypt. SOPA and PIPA were taken down with "lightning speed" thanks to social media, in the same way Mubarak the dictator was in Egypt.

Max also discusses what he sees as a "Mubrak style crackdown" on the internet from the U.S. government recently, and weighs the pros and cons of "perpetual copyright vs. open free communications", and talks about the connections between SOPA, and the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) which could lead to the "indefinite detention of American citizens" in the event of civil unrest brought on by an economic calamity. Here is the episode:

Facethejury.com SHUT DOWN...maybe for good

Well, let me tell you about a website called facethegerms err..ummm...I mean facethejury.com.  This website has been around a long time.  I think it was around even before myspace, and gave the cool kids somewhere to hang out way back in the day.  The gimmick here is you set up an account, and the facethejury "jury" gets to rate you on a scale of 1 to 10.  Apparently it isn't so cool anymore as there seems to be a lot of frustration going on, not only with it's members, but especially with whoever is running the site these days.


Way back in this golden era of the internet, when facethejury.com was cool (at this time in human history, Oasis was the biggest band in the world, and all the girls were wearing their hair like Monica Lewinsky) "face the germs" as I so affectionately call it, became one of the first websites that I declared a vendetta against.  I decided to try out this new juggernaut of social networking, and start an account.  Unfortunately, I received probably the lowest rating from the facethejury "jury" in the history of the website.  In a fit of rage, I tried to cancel my membership, but all my attempts at cancellation were ignored...until I posted a picture of a jar of Jiffy peanut butter as my default pic, for which this act of insubordination my account was summarily suspended. 

Fast forward to 2012 (the last year of human history according to my trusty Mayan callendar), and I was surprised to discover that facethejury was still around in much the same form it always had been.  So, I figured I would join up and use their extremely popular forums to dispense some "freedom information" about Funguzz Vizzion endorsed Independent presidential candidate  Abraham Fungus Jr.,... as I figured based on my prior experience,  the other features of the site would not be of much use to me.  Much to my delight, when I tried to log in a few days later, my rating from the facethejury "jury" was a score of a PERFECT 10!  Well, how exciting.

However, this joyousness did not last very long...for this morning when I tried to log in...I received this message, evidently from whoever has been running the site for "the last 6 years" and he/she was not in a mood to be trifled with:

"I no longer have the time nor inclination to deal with the constant squabbling that goes on between the members of this site. I realize that for many of you, FaceTheJury.com is 99% of your lives. Unfortunately for you, it is only 1% of mine. Deciding who's right, who's wrong, who's giving out who's personal information, who's broke who's heart and which moderator is playing favorites is laughable to me. I figured by now, most of you being in your mid 20s would have grown out of this. You haven't. So, as with most things in life, the attention craving few have ruined things for the somewhat realistic many. I'm inclined to shutdown the site entirely. It's existence hasn't mattered to me one way or the other for the last 6 years. I kept it running because I felt I was giving you guys a place to continue to talk with your friends.

I think the best solution is to turn the site into a private, invite only site. If you'd like to continue to be a part of it, great. If not, that's fine too. For now, I'll only accept existing accounts. At some later point in time, perhaps I'll start allowing new accounts on an approval basis only, or give existing members invite codes to allow others to join. Most of you will of course be accepted no questions asked. Some of you, probably won't."

And then to add insult to injury (yet another humiliating kick in the crotch) there was absolutely no guarantee I would be able to ever use the site again!



Oh my, I think this is the most stinging rebuke I have received on the internets, since I received that angry e-mail from Dr. James White.  (Actually, it was one of his assistants..or..well, it was someone who sent me a grumpy e-mail anyway.)  Well, that sucks!...or does it???  What a great opportunity for jimmyfungus.com!

So, let me make this formal announcement to the "attention craving few", who have been roundly rejected by facethejury.com staff and thrown into the streets of "reality" to fend for themselves...  You are cordially invited to turn jimmyfungus.com into "99% of your lives."  Feel free to whine, bicker, and squabble in the comments section as much as you want...24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the rest of your lives...if nescessary.   Take the flying leap...committ FUNGICIDE!  DO IT!

Alright, alright...enough of this insanity...let's play ourselves out with a song...
