Via Pharygula, I learned of the Citizen's Briefing Book, where you can sign up and vote to prioritize different ideas posted by us, the unwashed masses. I was looking for the "Dump the ISS into the Pacific" idea so that I could vote for it, and serendipitously found this one.
Go. Vote. Because, "THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE FACING MANKIND TODAY IS THE DISCLOSURE OF OUR CONTACT WITH INTELLIGENT SPECIES FROM OTHER WORLDS." Really.
The curious thing about the folks who voted for this idea is that, to a one, they believe that the extraterrestrials (who have been buzzing our back roads, mutilating our cattle, and who gave us the microchip) have benign intent and hold the secrets to a clean, Utopian society -- secrets they are eager to share.
While I, I welcome our new insect overlords.

Fascinating.
The real question, to my mind, is whether Obama would be willing to engage in talks with the ETs without preconditions.
Vote me up!

And if we make contact with the aliens, will they tell us what they did with Elvis and Bigfoot? Those are MY burning questions.
AP, was it you who e-mailed me with a question? If so, can I include your blog name and URL? :-)
And why is my word verification RETRUND?
Yes, it was I. Yes, you may.
I don't know.
I read a bunch of entries. My favorite included the following:
"ETs are not as spiritually advanced as angels."
I can't tell you haow much better I feel, knowing that ETs are not morally superior to angels. You know how ETs like to gloat, and we all know Seraphim do NOT have a sense of humor.
My verification word is "blesses". I kid you not!
Thanks, AP! :-)
It would be lots of fun if you were my sister. You, Pixie, & I could raise a lot of hell. And Mom says we can work out a leasing arrangement so she can be your part-time Mom.
Ooh, this is interesting. I had never considered the possibility that aliens are communicating with us through word verification until now. Somebody needs to look into that. I got "shalsim"...I'll interpret that to mean that I can expect some late-night visitors soon.
