LOL! You beat me to it while I was typing.
(I'm too darned slow!)
:-P
I guess I did beat you. However, you put more detail in Richard C. Hoagland's response. In terms of which is the better response, you get the points.
That being said, IMO, the only thing Richard C. Hoagland cares about in politics is, whomever gets us to Mars to prove (disprove. *Snicker*) his crazy theories. True, he probably believes some of the crazy conspiracies surrounding Bush. But, since Bush announced the Moon/Mars plan, he's actually semi-happy about that (though he probably wants it to be immediate. :-/).
