It doesn't appear that the two Congressmen have anything against the Centennial Challenges program itself; instead, they are concerned NASA is moving too far ahead on the overall exploration program without Congressional approval. The denial of the reprogramming request probably means that NASA won't be able to announce any prizes until FY2005. The program had hoped to announce an initial set of prizes (valued at no more than $250,000 each, the current limit NASA is authorized to offer) by the end of the current fiscal year.
This was a state-level issue, not a federal one. Not that it would ever have made a difference, it's just too easy to get stuff online, and they don't have the resources or the authority to search incoming packages.
I still prefer Johnny Clegg & Juluka/Savuka. Too bad they never had the attention or stardom that Simon got.

You realise he's been on the lam for a very long time now, right? That not everything has 'the war' or 'Bushcroft' as a primary cause? That more people freely say much worse than he has every day and nothing happens to them, nor will happen to them?
And I suppose the space aliens have something to do with it as well? After all, you don't hear about them either, so the government must be keeping them a SECRET.
May as well set it aside if you're going to use arguments like that. No point, you can assert anything you want that way with no requirement of proof. "The government keeps it a secret, so therefore if you don't hear anything about it it must be true!" Whatever.
So you're saying Joe McCarthy will rise from the dead and use the PATRIOT Act to see whether MLKj checked out 1984 on Hoover's card?! WTFOMGDOUBLEPLUSCONCLUSIONJUMPINGBBQ!
Yes, I know what you're trying to imply with those links - but it takes more than "Here's some links, wink wink nudge nudge, eh?!".
It's a bit late to start getting upset about procedural anomalies in Congress, that's been happening since the beginning. Let's talk about non-germane amendments and riders to bills... and a thousand other things.
And where is the FBI actually using this to spy on 'average people'? And can you come up with any particular reason why they might give a crap about what the 'average person' is reading?
Yes, that's my point. A lot of sex. You have obviously never been exposed to an oversexed female for any length of time. In the short term, yes you're missing out, but in the long term, just be glad you can still walk properly.
Nymphomania isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's the equivalent of flogging it every 15 minutes whether you want to or not and having to deal with it getting whiny and bitchy when you don't.

It was just a poorly-thought-out law all around.
Great, now we're gonna start seeing 'ought of been'..
Apparently not... try reading the responses, that's the whole point.
And cultivating impotent rage will give you ulcers.
Hyperventilating like that all the time will damage your sinuses.
OMG, governments can multitask?! I was hoping the IRS was going to be too busy running IED patrols in Iraq to demand I pay my taxes next year!

Try less hysterics, more reason.

I was waiting for the paragraph where it described DTrace's ability to cook breakfast, make coffee, and suck cock all at the same time.
Ok, well, I really do hope you get a chance to experience my POV someday - it's fun, but not exactly what you think it's going to be.
Oh goody, a recursive argument.

As Martian "Winter" approaches, it'll be interesting to see what really cold weather does to the rovers (other than breaking them).
There's an asshat visiting Starbucks locations on Mars, too?!

It'd be cooler if we called it 'scalping' instead of 'skinning'.
Why dont you read through some of the responses in this article and maybe you'll see who's really being bigoted and intolerant.
Hint - it's not the few Christians who still post here.
WWII was not about religion, it was about lebensraum. Crack a history book before you crack your trap.
Feh. You kids and your New Math.
Hmm. That's a tough decision. I think I'd have to go with lawyers with bats chasing Major Leaguers around.
Gonna burn in hell either way.
World != planet Earth.
Only difference is, in their holographic message the princess would look like she's about 12. Possibly with fur and a tail.
"because the military procurement budget is the single largest jobs program in the Federal budget."
As opposed to welfare, which is the single largest get-paid-to-sit-on-your-ass program in the Federal budget.
You should give DS9 another chance someday - granted, it doesn't really find itself till season 3, but it still ends up better than it started.
