Isn't there some guy testifying about UFOs in Congress this week? We can only hope aliens see earth as a rare and valuable resource that we're fucking up so maybe they'll take it from us.
A lot of politicians just chase distractions...
There's always some nutjob wanting to testify to congress about aliens, and nutjobs in office eager to get the important shit out of the news cycle.
