QUOTES TO PONDER
Beware Space Pirates!!!
Don’t have enough to worry about? Senator Ted Cruz is asking Congress to approve the formation of a ‘Space Force’ tasked with protecting "the nation" against – wait for it – space pirates!
Cruz brilliantly reasoned that because pirates threaten the open seas, “the same is possible in space.”
Never fear, the Tweety Birds are on it:
Running to my computer to work up a pitch for ‘Ted Cruz and the Space Pirates of the Seven Galaxies’ right now. —Christopher Tillman
Oh my god. Ted Cruz’s new priority is SPACE PIRATES. Inject this right into my veins. — Caroline McCarthy
You laugh now, but wait till it’s the year 2350 and you realize Ted Cruz was right. —Frank Luntz
When I saw that “Space Pirates” were trending because of Ted Cruz, I just assumed they were here to take him back to his home planet. — Palmer Report
🏴☠—Elon Musk
