Given the choice between pure, clean, fluoridated (but otherwise unadulterated) water and the Nightmare Under Elm Street, I know which I'd choose to have under my nails! (And I grew up on a sewage farm!) Maybe it's not the terrorists we need to be worried by, but instead the incompetentists. Lobster knows, they make our life hell all the time, and we run into those monkeys more than we meet your average, common, garden-type terrorist... hedera - no repair dude ever wants to deal with sewage!

Maybe it’s not the terrorists we need to be worried by, but instead the incompetentists. Lobster knows, they make our life hell all the time, and we run into those monkeys more than we meet your average, common, garden-type terrorist…

The repair dudes insisted that they NEVER deal with sewers, just drinking water...

Remember, for long-term "Under Big Cover Stories", there's always the juror's inevitable book deal to take up valuable between-the-ads fill-in time. Or "Jacko's Verdict: Thriller!", or "Gallup poll finds 62% of Americans think Jackson is GUILTY!", or... Hey, what's the deal with PBS/NPR/NASA funding (or potential lack thereof)? I thought this was a long-term Fundy goal, reducing the confusing selection of Anti-Republican Unbeliever False Satanist Baby-Beating UnAmerican So-Called "News Coverage", not something they could just slip in under the MJ radar. And NASA - after all, we all know those photos and filmclips of moonguys were faked, and there is no "planet Mars" (yeah, right, like Lobster would name a planet after a confection), and the so-called "scientists" are just looking to line their pockets with funds for so-called "rocketships".

Boy, that's a long way around just to squelch Adam (and us).

House Republicans beat back a Democratic challenge Tuesday to Majority Leader Tom DeLay, defeating an effort to cut $200 million from NASA's Moon-Mars initiative and spend the money instead to aid local police. By a 230-196 vote, the House rejected an amendment by Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., to transfer $200 million from the space agency to two Clinton-era grant programs that President Bush wants to phase out. The Justice Department programs are favorites of lawmakers because they provide help for local initiatives to combat methamphetamine, fund anti-gang programs and provide new equipment to hometown police departments.
