The Concavity cabinet

quote

SEC. STATE: You mean simply tell the truth? That Johnny's C.U.S.P. platform necessitates—given the unfeasibility of shooting national wastes into space, since NASA hasn't put a successful launch on in over a decade and the rockets simply fall over and blow up and become more waste—that—given the amount of additional waste annular fusion's start-up is going to start putting in circulation the minute start-up commences—that his platform all but necessitates the second-tier option of transforming certain vast stretches of U.S. territory into uninhabitable and probably barbed-wired landfills and fly-shrouded dumps and saprogenic magenta-fogged toxic-disposal sites?
