Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars
edmunz writes "Foxnews just placed an article on their website saying that Bush is expected to make an announcement towards the middle of next week, proposing a manned mission to Mars as well as a return to the moon. Bush hopes to spark a renewed public interest in space exploration. No mission would happen any time soon, rather a preparation of over a decade would take place before the first men/women set out to explore Mars."
No, while reform is nice, we could use a lot more cash in a lot more of our systems. Not that I disagree that money shouldn't be taken from *this* program...it needs it too.
Unfortunately, in this country it has become quite fashionable to trumpet the tax cuts you are giving to everyone, while giving them to the ultra-hyperbolic-rich, and swinging an axe at every program you can find, often cloaking it as a block grant or a reform/reorganization.
Don't vote Republican folks...
Given a choice between free speech and free beer, most people will take the beer.
Anyone who considered Saddam Hussein to be a great ally and gave him weapons because of it, is kinda hardcore, yes.
I am aware. For the record, I voted for Gore in 2000.
I second the motion. Let's send Arnold too. He likes Total Recall so much in California, let's let him relive the movie.

In "No Escape: Male Rape in US Prisons" Human Rights Watch has shown that not only is America #1 in incarcerating its citizens, and #1 in sexually punishing its citizens via its prisons, but this sexual abuse targets whites more than other ethnic/racial groups. This makes sense if one seeks to increase government power over the majority-white, non-criminal population through sexually sadistic intimidation. This neglect of the 6th Amendment's guarantee against cruel and unusual punishments is, therefore, malign neglect. It so corrodes the foundation of a multi-ethnic society that it is arguably the greatest crime against humanity currently being committed on the planet.
Seastead this.
By your "logic" you'd send yourself to Mars.
So it would be like a new Australia in the works?
I wonder what a Martian dingo would look like...
To reign is to serve.
Clinton and Clark did not get one US soldier killed in the Balkans.
"Had as much to do with the Republicans in congress as it did the president."
Those Republicans are still there and the economy sucks. Maybe it's the massive tax cuts for the wealthy that might be the problem.

We already did vote Bush out, last time I checked, but somehow he finagled his way into the White House anyway. :)

Us non USA-citizens demand to vote (every vote helps).
Damn, I guess I'm just not funny today. Score: 0, flamebait. Ouch.
Karma: Meh (Mostly from meh.)
