NASA needs to be grounded, forever.

Mission control- come in mission control. To all of you boys and girls at NASA, slowly push back away from your million dollar toys, the professionals are here to do the job right. That's right, trying to re-launch the shuttle program now is a bit behind the times. Burt Rutan, the White Knight and Space Ship One are the wave of the future. While you were sitting on your thumbs trying to figure out how to keep your jobs, Spaceship One was successfully launched into space TWICE within two weeks and returned to Earth safely. Game over, give it up. NASA had a Cold War fueling the fervor of the 60s and 70s, but the good ol' US of A is back to worshiping the almighty dollar and corporate America is about to hand you your pink slips. There is money to be made in space and the idealistic relic known as NASA is sitting squarely in the way of real innovation. If you want a case of compassionate euthanasia in Florida; PLEASE put NASA out of its misery!
On a different note Farm Aid is back for a concert in Chicago. I wonder if John and the other dozen Mellancamps will be there with their hands out? At least they're asking for cash this time and not preaching about how overtaxing the G-8 nations will make the world a better place.
SOMEBODY TAKE MY GOVERNMENT AWAY!!
