Kerry to Travel to Antarctica, State Dept Grilled Over Why

November 4, 2016 4:55 pm

After announcing that Secretary of State John Kerry will be traveling to Antarctica, State Department spokesman John Kirby was grilled over why Kerry was traveling there and the trip’s cost to taxpayers.

Kerry will travel to a research station at the South Pole in a trip that begins Monday.

Kirby said the foreign minister of New Zealand would not be accompanying Kerry when asked by reporters. Flights to the South Pole normally stop in New Zealand first. Reporters then asked what the diplomatic purpose of the visit is. Kirby said the reason is climate change.

“The purpose for the South Pole was to talk to researchers and scientists largely about climate change research,” Kirby said.

Kirby was unable to provide an estimated cost for Kerry’s trip.

“There’s some criticism that this trip is basically, you know, the secretary wants to knock Antarctica off his bucket list and he’s doing it on taxpayer expense,” a reporter said.

“I’m hoping he goes wind surfing with a pod of killer whales. They could use variety in their diet.”


No Way! Even Killer whales have food standards.

Maybe they’ll just play with him like those baby seals.

There is a theory that Atlantis is under the ice. Another book says the Nazis have a base under the ice. They make as much sense as Kooky Kerry

Kerry will meet with the ambassador from Vulcan.

Since NASA (or someone) announced discovery of the planet the Vulcans decided logically they should open formal channels.

It is spelled out in one of the Star Trek books.

It’s part of a wildlife diversity effort: introducing horses to a new continent.

None of the above.

Kerry's trying to find a warmer personality than the one that he currently possesses.

He is making sure no one is razing the penguin villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan.

Taking State department hard drives and burying them a mile under McMurdo next to the Stargate and ancient weapons chair.

That way prosecutors will never find them.
