It's Getting Cold.

Nothing surprising in the news that President Bush wants to freeze domestic spending next year--especially since the term "domestic" no longer includes "homeland." Interesting, though that the AP notes that even NASA is slated for only a 1 percent increase or so, "pending appeals to the White House by outgoing NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe." Oh, that should work really well: "Excuse me, Mr. President, I've got a cab waiting outside. But if you could just add a few more bucks to what used to be my budget, that'd be great. Thanks."
