You know I know everybody, including Mittens, ridiculed Newt's moon base idea. Sure it was part of his self-ego bloated fantasy. Yes it's not happening because of costs and all that.

But the basic notion appeals to me since I'm a space fan and I hate how irrelevant (and let's admit it: lame) NASA has become. Plus it could be the desperately needed enema down in central Florida's economy, which has uemployment over 10%. A permanent solution.

More than anything else, it's an fascinating idea. It's cool, if unrealistic and easily mockable. But dammit, IT'S COOL! (Remember last two times it was proposed by Bush Sr. and Dubya) What ideas has Mittens given for his possible administration besides Anti-Obama this and that? His wage idea was great, but he's dropped it recently last I checked.

No on that moon base shit tonight, Mittens replied that he rather have those Federal billions instead go to housing. Government housing apparently. Maybe PB is right, maybe Mittens is a Democrat in closet denial after all.

Believe it or not, constructive ideas aren't an evil liberal thing. T.R. is seen as the first "Progressive" President, and he was a Republican. Regulate unsanitary food and medicine? Be responsible and preserve our forests and coastal shores? Break up some Trusts who've gotten bigger and more powerful than the nation?

No wait, he's an evil socialist after all.
