We may not know if there is Life on Mars, but we do know there is water in the air. Terra-forming dreamers are probably drooling at the prospects of opening the first Ski Resort on Mars.

Did anybody see how this "rescue plan" has been modified?
The bill was originally a two-and-a-half page proposal and now is hundreds of pages of earmarks like tax benefits for film and television productions, stockcar racetrack owners, wooden arrows designed for use by children and tax benefits extenders for Virgin
Island and Puerto Rican rum-makers... No, I’m not kidding!
With a Senate like this what hope do we have?
