A brief exchange on a policy initiative of recent note:

Me: So, what do you think of Dubya's new moonbase?

Other guy: It's a grand idea. We should send him there as soon as possible.

More seriously, it's interesting to note that the basic engineering and science planning was done by noted engineer and scientist Karl Rove, who thinks it's important enough that the current projects of the lesser intellectual lights at NASA should be shut down to pay for it. Gosh, it's nice to have the grownups in charge.
