Sort of off topic, but I need to dump this so I can get on with my work...

Watched Rep. Boehlert, House Science Committee chairman, (Space Sub-Committee under Rohrabacher works under him) try to get through ammendment which would make us less dependent on foriegn oil in five years. I don't know if we have five weeks to do this, little less five years...

The battle was bruising. The auto industry, instead of spending their money on engineers, spent it on lobbyists, in their usual manner. Bogus numbers on fatalities were brought up - no one pointed out that your chances of survival depend on whether you are in the SUV (Suburban Battle Wagon) or hit by it... How those numbers got in the NAS rpeort and who made them up are a couple of real good questions...

Just a tip...
