"[House] Science [Committee] Democrats lauded an agreement reached today on the Conference Report for S. 1281, the NASA Authorization Act of 2005. Following today's approval by the conference committee, the legislation is tentatively scheduled for consideration by the full House this week... "During the conference, Rep. Jackson-Lee was a strong proponent for... more educational programs in the sciences for minorities..." I should hope so, given that she showed up at JPL a few days after the Mars Pathfinder landing and asked if it could photograph Neil Armstrong's footprints. |

Wow, yeah, there's stupid and then there's mind meltingly idiotic. This of course falls into the latter category I'm afraid.
However, it does not top the time two years ago when I was discussing the successful MER landings with a co-worker when he asked, completely seriously: "oh wow! how many of our astronauts did we send this time?". Its that delightful sort of question that causes your eyes to completely roll back in your head and your bowels to involuntarily empty. |
