The Henny Penny Protocol

Defying all the odds, Newt Gingrich is still in the race to the White House. Short of cash, he is now charging $50 for photographs. I thought this was a good idea, until I found out they were shots of Newt (Angelina Jolie he's not.)

Only an idiot would count him out, though. This is the point where Gingrich the science geek will shine. Those who wondered and laughed at Newt's space obsession will get their well deserved comeuppance, because it is on outer space that his plans rely. And no, I'm not referring to Newt ruling his lunar colony either; that's Plan B.

No, Newt Gingrich is pinning all his hopes on the chance that his opponents will be hit by meteors before the convention, leaving the field wide open for him.

Rocks falling out of the sky.

The theory isn't so far-fetched.

 After all, the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid once before.
