Don’t be fooled; the Bush space plan isn’t about space exploration &c. It’s the next use of the Preemption Doctrine ? to stop this galactic terrorist from succeeding in his plan to blow up the Earth for obstructing his view of Venus (and not, as erroneously reported in this space last month, for causing global warming there, too).

And if you think that’s funny, this guy thinks it’s really about oil ? and he’s serious.
