Where’s Doc Brown When We Need Him?
Wesley Clark, erstwhile NATO Supreme Commander and current Deomcratic Presidential hopeful, has recently put forth his opinions on time travel refuting every physicist since Albert Einstein.
From the article:
Then, the 58-year-old Arkansas native, who retired from the military three years ago, dropped something of a bombshell on the gathering.
"I still believe in e=mc², but I can't believe that in all of human history, we'll never ever be able to go beyond the speed of light to reach where we want to go," said Clark.
"I happen to believe that mankind can do it."
"I've argued with physicists about it, I've argued with best friends about it. I just have to believe it. It's my only faith-based initiative." Clark's comment prompted laughter and applause from the gathering.
Gary Melnick, a senior astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said Clark's faith in the possibility of faster-than-light (FTL) travel was "probably based more on his imagination than on physics."
This is the Democrats answer to George W. Bush? Honestly, this is almost as bad as Dan Quayle. Is anybody taking this guy seriously? He's just a stooge for the Democrats so that Hillary Clinton doesn't have to run against an incumbent Republican this time around. If Bush Jr. gets elected in 2004 then he cannot run again in 2008 leaving the door wide open for another Clinton presidency. Really, the Clintons don't even care if he wins this election, or any other Democrat for that matter. Clark is in the race to slow things down and keep the other candidates from achieving too much. To them, this is a throw-away election.
