Lets just go along and name every federal building after him and be done with it.

I have to catch a flight to Reagan National Airport later, so I am getting a kick out of this reply.

Reagan had actual accomplishments to speak of.

Like sh*t-canning a whole whack of air-traffic controllers? Kind of an ironic name for an airport when you think about it.

LOL, I can't believe I forgot about that. Must be getting old.

johnboy2978: Jesus Christ. Can we just go ahead and canonize him already? How about we pass an amendment to officially change the name of the country to the United States of Barack? I am so sick of this guy already and he hasn't even started the screwing of the next four years. Like the dinosaur, the US will probably be extinct by the time he leaves office with all his crippling debt. I think God is starting to get Obama-Complex.

But honey, y'all won The Twitter.

Really, Fark, no mention of the obvious muslim conspiracy here?

Obamadon is clearly a terrifying dinosaur mascot for Ramadan.

I'm fine with firing the lot of them. You don't ground an entire nation.

And not one single photoshop of Barack with his head on a dinosaur?


Fark, I am so dissapoint.

Blackzilla was taken.

Wow, the trolls, shills, and retards are out in force in this thread.

I like Obama as much as the next guy, but seriously, Democrats wonder why others think they are cult-like with their love of the guy, and then they go ahead and do crap like this?

Do you know if the paleontologists are liberals? Besides, all they did was name an extinct lizard after him. Republicans are the ones who keep calling him God, Jesus, etc. Seems that Republicans worship Obama far more than Democrats do.

/Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Larson, Savage, and FOX certainly do, because without Obama they'd be out of work

It's time for Republicans to take back the Dinosaur Naming Committee.

Suck it, liz

/that sounded better in my head
//actually, no, that was just the echo

B.A. Baracusaurus?

Total nitpick, but did any of those animals actually live near Chixtulub as depicted?

Maybe dinodork knows. Paging dinodork to the thread.

Late Cretaceous finds from that area aren't common, what with the whole giant asteroid crater thing.

Ha! Just as I walk in the door from a long day of research up at DMNS.

It's hard to say if they were near the impact site since, well, there isn't much left for latest Cretaceous deposits in that area (that whole impact/tsunami really did a number on them), though I did see tsunami deposits in northern Mexico when I was doing field work there about a decade ago. Lots of plants.

One could argue that the lizards were pretty widespread, and we have other Hell Creek Formation dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and Torosaurus (it's not a Triceratops dammit) down as far south as New Mexico. Plus if it's high enough up, the fireball can be seen from quite a long ways away.

When digging on Triceratops this summer, we could see the ISS every night. It was visible from basically our position on the Montana border till it went into earth's shadow over Wisconsin.

Ishkur: fta: The researchers concluded that no species weighing more than a pound survived.

*cough*
Coelacanth
*cough*

They probably meant land animals. But to get technical, the last big coelacanth of the mesozoic was Megalocoelacanthus (I prepared the two specimens found in Kansas, and discovered a full 50% of them). It's related tot he modern coelacanth Latimera chalumnae, however Latimera, even as as a genus, most certainly wasn't around at the end of the Cretaceous.

Hungarosaurus will laugh his cloaca off when he gets told about is.

/barack means peach in Hungarian

So when is Obama going to get his own Zord?
