Funding for the original manned Voyager Mars Program was scratched in 1968, before humans had gotten out of Low Earth Orbit. Mid-'60s plans for a Venus fly-by with astronauts actually flying by it met the same fate.
From P. J. O'Rourke
'You're stupid,' is not something even his most severe critics usually say to President Barack Obama.
Stupid is a great force in human affairs.
China is trying to become America without democracy while America is trying to become France without cheese calories.
President Obama has contempt for real money.
Obama, in pursuit of power, has been as greedy and irresponsible as any Wall Street tycoon in pursuit of money.
For decades in America, there has been an effort to ensure that the rights of those who are not sane are the same as the rights of those who are.
In a free country, government is a dull and onerous responsibility. It is a parent-teacher conference.
Democrats hate Democrats most of all.
Democrats hate success.
