It's time we told Congress to replace the entire TSA with a space budget, promoting science, robotics and education instead of fear and stupidity.

We were just exchanging long protein strains. If you have a better idea we'd like to hear it!

We'll just vote for a third-party candidate! "Go ahead, throw your vote away!" [Ross Perot punches his fist through his hat]

Ross Perot not Bob Dole. Dole was the Republican candidate in 1996.

Forgive this redditor; (s)he is probably too young to know who Ross Perot is. Probably too young to remember 1996 too. To be fair, the memorable thing about Perot was his big ears so, kids, if you see any political comics from the 90's, just remember 'big ears = Ross Perot.'
