    NASA, nasa, or Nasa? The article summary has all three.

    What's that word that starts with a "P" and ends with "oor Editing"?

    Because private industry did such a great job of evacuating the city of New Orleans before hurricane Katrina. Let's turn over our space program to the free market and see how it handles it.
    Hey, Louisiana is a red state, right? So they voted for Dubya?, no? Well, since they,re so wonderfully anti-government, why don't they let private entreprise bail the water out for them, and take care of the poor people who have nowhere to go, and, for that matter, shoot at the looters?
