So that's where all the dinosaurs went to die.

Don’t worry, Obama will get the EPA to put it off limits for development.

It was just declared the 348th holiest spot in Islam so only the Saudis can drill there.

So the big bang that killed them, blew parts that far, and here we thought space flight was something new.

In other news, President Obama has banned any future drilling on Hyperion or any other planet or satellite, while at the same time signing an Executive Order giving the Chinese and Venezuelans permission to drill ANWR.
(sarcasm, but believable from Obama)

NASA desperation. They put out this crap every year because they are welfare queens.
The other one is the AIDS lobby. Every year there’s a breathless report that AIDS has broken into the heterosexual white community and some country on the other side of the world is doomed.
And we just eat it up and send them $$$.

Ah Ha! A whole new market for algores “carbon credits”...
