There will only be so much money available for NASA in any event, and for the amount of money we spend on manned space exploration to the moon (or gawd help us - MARS) we could send robotic spacecraft to look for life on Europa AND Enceladus AND build space telescopes, etc. etc.
Let's talk about science vs. flag waving here.
Not to mention:
"A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey's on the moon)
I can't pay no doctor bill.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still.
(while Whitey's on the moon)
The man jus' upped my rent las' night.
('cause Whitey's on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
I wonder why he's uppi' me?
('cause Whitey's on the moon?)
I wuz already payin' 'im fifty a week.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Taxes takin' my whole damn check,
Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin' up,
An' as if all that shit wuzn't enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an' arm began to swell.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Was all that money I made las' year
(for Whitey on the moon?)
How come there ain't no money here?
(Hmm! Whitey's on the moon)
Y'know I jus' 'bout had my fill
(of Whitey on the moon)
I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,
Airmail special
(to Whitey on the moon)"

This quote is almost becoming quaint...
I'm just glad the Bush administration has such a stellar record for veracity. Nothing they have ever said has turned out to be duplicitous, deceptive or misleading. It really does come down to looking at who has more of a better record for factual statements, and the Bush administration is the most straightforward, honest group of folks I've ever seen. Yup.
