Rudy Giuliani will protect us from aliens

Not illegal aliens... space aliens! A kid in New Hampshire asked him the question yesterday:

I think it's a legit question! But I want more specifics on Rudy's plan to prepare us for an alien attack. Also an asteroid impact, and that La Palma volcano. No, really! I will vote for the candidate who hires that kid as a disaster-preparedness consultant. :)

P.S. I also want to know the candidates' positions on protecting our senior citizens from robot attacks.

Comments

"And when they grab you with those robot claws, you can't break free. Because they are made of metal. And robots are strong."

I'm surprised a real insurance company preying on old people hasn't run this ad already.

As for Giuliani, the correct answer would be one of the following:

1. Develop a computer virus to infect the mother ship.

2. Spread a cold virus to the aliens.

3. Beat the alien with a baseball bat and throw a bunch of water on him.

Friend's response when I showed him this: "Let's work our way up slowly, shall we? How about spending more on earth crossing asteroid searches than the average McDonalds franchise costs in a year."

Because there is a profit motive for building a McDonald's. Unfortunately, there isn't one for detecting and shooting down asteroids....until it is too late, anyway.

The funny thing about this clip is Giuliani sees the potential and really doesn't seem to go anywhere with it. It's not a slam on the guy. It's just the "what do I do with this?" look on his face.

Personally, I would have gone with the whole disaster-preparedness route myself.

That kid has a promising future in the White House press corps.
