    \n
  1. I Find Your Lack of Relevance Disturbing: Is Star Wars a Joke Now? | Tor.com<\/a> – Sadly, yes, it is.<\/li>\n

  12. Perry\u2019s Moon Shot: Accusing Obama Of Leaving Astronauts To \u2018Hitchhike Into Space\u2019<\/a> – Because the US Government should definitely spend a lot of money … in my state!<\/li>\n
