>We should have a mission to travel to Gliese 581 C. After all it is only 20.5 light-years away. Our mission would be to bring democracy and freedom to its residents. Does it have any residents? Who cares? We will carry out our mission anyway. :)


A friend emailed me this morning that she turned on Charlie Rose last night because Sigourney Weaver was supposed to be the guest. Instead the guest was none other than President Bush. She said Charlie's first question was, "What is Plan B in Iraq?" The answer: "Plan B is to complete Plan A." Then he beamed like he expected a gold star. Charlie repeated the question, it was again evaded, and then Charlie gave up and went on with the rest of the interview. Good grief.
