I saw him at his town hall meeting today in Huntington Beach.

How's the surf?

I hate to brag, but HB is a damn good place to live. The last week the weather has been great. Unfortunately, with tax time rolling around, I've been stuck in the office most of the best part of the days.

Ask Dana. He is a surfer.

Yes. I would add this tragedy to the list of strategic mistakes made by the ne'er-do-well, Bill Clinton. When 41 proposed an exciting exploration program it lost by one vote in the (Dimocratic) House of Representatives, in 1992 I think. Part of the problem was NASA bureauctatic ineptitude; they wanted funding for exploration to be added to their current budget as opposed to redirecting resources to accomplish the President's directives. Also, in a move that will forever live in ignomy, NASA doubled the estimate of the 90 day study group tasked to determine the cost of putting a man on Mars. Another part was a pork barrel issue. Space Station had purposefully spread the wealth for construction of ISS to the maximum number of states possible. This ensured support in congress because what representative wants to see future dollars moved out of his district.
