Its Friday

Another work week has come and gone and the boss still hasn't posted to the site. True, he has school, work and family but what can I say . . .

School is slowing down now that only have 5 more articles, 2 cases and two presentations for both classes which is a relief. But to compensate for that, tax season is here. Two of the corporate returns are done, one more to go and then 6 or so personal returns and that's done. Then have my normal work on top of that. Currently going through the year end audit and closing down one subsidiary.

Despite all that, and if you have read all of this so far, thank you for reading about my life, truly, but have two articles that I think are more interesting then the goings on of my life.

NASA: China could be the next to moon:
Question, how do you get more money from Congress when there is a war going on and the party in power would rather give your budget to other departments (read programs that will help the people who are more likely to vote for them)? Tell Congress a horror story.

The story is if Congress doesn't increase the funding for NASA, the PRC will be the first to get back to the moon, which we all know is the property of NASA, since they landed on the place a while ago. Congress doesn't want to have anyone claim they "lost" the moon because they didn't give enough money to NASA so NASA is likely to get its budget increased. Oh for a line item veto and a president who would actually veto some spending bills.

The second story is political:
Diagnosis: Cheney:
Charles Krauthammer writes about Michelle Cottle article in the New Republic. Think about that for a moment. You have a blogger writing about a columnist who is writing about an article another columnist wrote about. Krauthammer is a talented writer and the story is worth a read.
