The
year is 1947
Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, almost 64 years ago,
witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens
aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell ,
New Mexico . This is a well known incident that many say has long
been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and
organizations.
However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months
after that
historic day, the following people were born:
Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses?
I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for
you. It did for me.
No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!

This amusing bit of political humor first hit our inbox in August 2006, positing a connection between July 1947 events in Roswell, New Mexico (i.e., the alleged recovery of an alien spacecraft and its occupants) and the birth nine months later of several currently prominent Democrats.
At the risk of belaboring the obvious by deconstructing humor, we'll point out that the basic premise of the joke doesn't ring true. First of all, the normal human gestation period is about 38 weeks, so children conceived on or shortly after the date of the Roswell incident (8 July 1947) would most likely have been born (assuming ordinary, full-term pregnancies) in April 1948, not March. Secondly, only one of the political figures named was born even approximately nine months after the events as Roswell.
Five of the figures listed were born well before March 1948:
Dianne Feinstein (U.S. Senator, California): 22 June 1933
Nancy Pelosi (U.S. Representative, California): 26 March 1940
Barbara Boxer (U.S. Senator, California): 11 November 1940
John Kerry (U.S. Senator, Massachusetts): 11 December 1943
Bill Clinton (former U.S. President): 19 August 1946
Two more of the persons identified were born considerably later than nine months after Roswell:
Howard Dean (former Governor of Vermont): 17 November 1948
Charles E. Schumer (U.S. Senator, New York): 23 November 1950
Hillary Rodham Clinton (U.S. Senator, New York) was born on 26 October 1947, a mere three months after the Roswell incident.
Only Al Gore, Jr. (former U.S. Vice-President), who was born on 31 March 1948, came into the world at a time that reasonably fits into the framework of this humorous premise. Quite possibly this item started out as a joke specifically about him, and others later expanded it into a joke about Democrats in general.
In April 2007, the jape was reworked to aim it at prominent Republicans.
Four of the figures named on that list were born well before March 1948:
Donald Rumsfield (former Secretary of Defense): 9 July 1932
Dick Cheney (U.S. Vice-President): 30 January 1941
George W. Bush (U.S. President): 6 July 1946
Dan Quayle (former U.S. Vice-President): 4 February 1947
Three were born considerably later than nine months after Roswell:
Bill O'Reilly (political commentator): 10 September 1949
Rush Limbaugh (political commentator): 12 January 1951
Condoleezza Rice (Secretary of State): 14 November 1954

Thank you for your in depth research to be sure they really were not actually born from aliens. But then again, maybe they lied about their real birthday to aid in the cover up. I think that is more likely the case. And Snopes is part of the cover-up.
Are you for real? Double wow. It was a joke.

If Lopez said this... I would think it was funny. Why? Because the people named deserve it! (Please, this is NOT a thread about Kirstie Ally and George Lopez.)

Waterman was born around 1947. I few aliens were seen wandering around New York, Atlanta,and Pittsburg sightseeing before the mother ship came back to pick them up in 1950. This was verified with Snopes.

You are a scary dude ... what do you do keep a log about me? Can you say obsessed.
We thought you climbed under a rock and called it home. Now go away and obsess about me and wish you were not such a loser.

WW is from the planet Zoltron. My cats have told me that he is their conduit to the mother planet. His native tongue is Siamese Zoltanese. He was sent to this planet in 1955 and will be leaving for good on December 21, 2012. The mother ship is headed this way to pick him up. At that point, his work here will be done (actually it will be done on November 2, 2012, but the Zoltani commanders are allowing him an extra bit of time to tie up loose ends). Upon his return to Zoltron, he'll be installed as the resident expert on Earthly politics and economics. But then, on Zoltron, lying is considered a character virtue.

I couldn't help amusing myself.
Sorry that people don't like cats. I have 3 pedigreed siamese cats in addition to my dogs. My cats will be over to pee on your computer.

Are you for real? It was a joke. I will, in the future, try to remember to tell you in advance when I am joking. You thought I left?????????? You are doing too much thinking. Loosen that tie and just chill on the dock Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and your laptop.
