Meat? You've got Obama cancelling the Space Shuttle program, the third stage of a Russian lift system with a perfect 30 year history now meant for crew capabilities exploding before reaching orbit, two (2) Darpa Mach 20 lift vehicles vanishing, and now the announcement of the possibility of completely abandoning the ISS - all within a couple of months.
This isn't meat - it's a five course dinner with separate wines. All that's left is for a girl to pop out of a cake during brandy and cigars.
