Fly Me to the Moon

Republican candidate and former beet farmer Newt Gingrich has his eye on the prize. First, the presidency. Immediately afterward, THE MOON.  Well, within eight years, the moon. But Newt's going places.

Slowly but surely. 

"When we have 13,000 Americans living on the moon, they can petition to become a state," Speaker Gingrich said boldly.  The 600,000 Americans in DC can wait. 

The instinctively grandiose Newt promised a "365 day a year relentless pressure" to embody the lyrics of Daft Punk. I believe the music video also illustrates Newt's plans for any illegal aliens on the moon. 

All we hear about from the Gingrich camp is the Rocket Man. What about Callista? From what I've seen, you mustn't speak to the future first lady, as human contact alarms her. 

         

It turns out Mrs. Gingrich III published a children's book called Sweet Land of Liberty about an elephant who sets off on a quest to discover what made America the home of the free. 

As a former American child myself, I can tell this will be a best-seller--if it isn't already--especially if she took notes from the great Maurice Sendak. 

Overall, things are looking up for the Gingriches. Let's hope Florida pulls through.
