Area 51

Thanks to the internet, the concept of a government secret base has been rendered little more than a quaint James Bond plot. For example, in decades past, the public only had conjecture and hearsay to feed its curiosity about the inner workings of the US government’s shadowy military base on the southern shore of Nevada’s Groom Lake, a site better known as “Area 51.”

I can't wait to see which Republican troll-- I'd bet on fake preacher Bryan Fischer or one of two Texas congressmen, Louie Gohmert or domestic terrorist Steve Stockman-- is the first to accuse Obama of being in thrall to aliens from Mars. The proof: His unjustified anger at Ed Snowden may be due to the exposure of Area 51, where the U.S. works jointly with aliens on various projects.
