But wait, it gets worse. As a Canadian I have had more than my fill of Lloyd Axworthy. He is an advocate of "soft power". As our Foreign Minister, he thought that Canada should abandon all military effort and instead rely on negotiations at the UN to settle all differences. The guy was and is a total idiot. Just what do you think the North Koreans think of a country that advocates "soft power'' What a dolt!

Behold one bad swamp rabbit. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I figure any intelligent life form would take one look at our behaviour planetwide, throw the gearshift in reverse and head for Mars and those 8' tall Julie Newmar amazon ladies <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

Maybe someone needs to send Lloyd Axworthy a Captain Feather Sword outfit from the Wiggles. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That rabbit was actually the vanguard of an Alien invasion. Carter, acting in his capacity as Commander in Chief, repelled said invasion with his fishing pole. Resistance is not futile after all..... <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Maybe we should send him over to Pakistan to negotiate some "soft power" peace with Bin Laden. I'm sure the old bearded terrorist would be willing to listen.

It would seem that the gentleman has lost his tinfoil hat.

Mr. Kavanaugh, you have a very interesting family.

I don't imagine any aliens will show up here. Remember we have been beeming TV signal into space for what? 50 years now? I figure that anybody within range of the signals has probably fled the area in a panic.

Signal dissapation makes it less likely. I dont' rmemeber the exact number off the top of my head, but by the time you are half a light year out, I worked it out once that you were getting tiny, tiny signals. As in double digit negative exponents of ten for eavery watt the signal started with. At that strength, you are really going to have be hunting for it. Assuming of course they can translate the protocal- they will get AM easily enough, but the video side of TV is less likely.

Unless it is an intensional signal, it isn't going to be heard. It's like shouting in a sawmill. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
