“Congress will always choose short-term pork over long-term development unless there’s strong Presidential leadership.” – Glenn Reynolds.

Gotta spend that money right here on Earth, don’t you know?
God save the Republic from scientific illiterates. And from the people who vote for them when they really should have known better, too.
