I feel unsatisfied and want to know what they will find NEXT!

Don't expect too much from this newly discovered object--it does not appear capable of supporting intelligent life.

Look closely my little cup cakes.....
This artical is a thinnly veiled political attempt by the Democrats to discredit the Republicans. Note the scientists name "Huck"(as in, to chuck, or throw out)ahuckabe. Ahh yes those crafty politicians are at it again, which is why my favorite write-in canidate will, again, get my vote, Sponge Bob Squarepants.
Hoooraaay for Sponge Bob!!!!!!!

It is confusing.
As a very conservative person myself, I consulted "The book" and the chapter about extraterrestrials was less than clear to me (as well as the entire book).
Huckabee the candidate (If I were Repub) he would be my type of guy.
He has a good sense of humor and by the same token he may not believe in the stuff he preaches.
I am a conservative independent, more independent than conservative. I pray for the members of our government not to go to hell all the way.
