Katrina Delays Shuttle

    No, that's just more leftwing spin, trying to make NASA look out of touch. In fact, the Shuttle has been deployed to rescue survivors of hurricane Katrina. Bush's FEMA assures the Gulf Coast that help is on the way, ASAP. We'll have that Shuttle right over - in Fall 2006, just in time for the Congressional elections. Otherwise, enough Democrats might get elected to the House to impeach Bush, and then where would our faith-based space program be, without its greatest champion?
