but I'm also skeptical of sending people to Mars in the near term, as the Bush administration has proposed.

Can someone point me to where the Bush proposal included sending people to Mars in the "near term"? Return to the Moon near-term (10 years) but a to my knowledge, no timetable was established (near or far term) for a journey to Mars.

Quick, someone send a memo to Shelia Jackson Lee that they've found a planet was responsible for the "irregular behavior of Uranus"

Won't she be surprised!

I don't understand why they're abandoning the Hubble telescope either.
