01/15/2004: "Hodge-Podge"

A big installation at work this week has had me into work early and home very late everyday but I want to make a few short comments on some of the things happening.

Space Program
If John Kennedy had not pushed the space program 40 years ago, our lives would not have all the creature comforts of today that we take for granted. The list of things that have been produced as a direct result of the space program is huge. We need that kind of innovative catalyst again. As for the price tag, a mere pittance compared to what opportunities it will bring to market in the future. Personally, I would rather fund this than another failed social program the government thinks we can’t live without.

Carol Moseley Braun
Dropping out of the race today. Should only be a few more weeks before the rest of the drips have gone down the drain. She will throw her support to the bellicose Dr. Dean. Good. The polls are showing Dean on a downward trend and I really want him to win the primary because he is the last person I would want to see win the election.

Dennis Miller
I’ve missed his essays on Fox but his new show on CNBC will debut on the 26th. Check it out!
