got lucky this time... of course it was only "23 feet across and wouldnt have dented the surface [of the earth]"

Diddy one but still enough to ruin someones day in the wrong place if it didn't manage to completely burn up.

Meh, these types of asteroids fly closely a few times per year, IIRC.

But hey - if it had actually hit, it would have been Bush's fault!

What spin? If he didn't waste so much money there would be an anti-asteroid department ready to launch countermeasures at them.

PLUS he installed a giant ASTEROID MAGNET in Boston so he could start an inter-galactic war in China.

Michael Moore said it so it must be true!

Fox news would have reported that the asteroid strike was because God doesnt like Universal Health Care.

The asteroid near miss is probably just part of the viral advertising campaign for Hollywood's latest piece of space junk....

Nah. For a good lie to work it has to be plausable. :DL

Like this:

"Bush's tax cuts kept Congress from fully funding the Asteroid Defense Initiative.
