		<description>Tom: I am all for private space ventures, but so far none has put a rocket into orbit, let alone a manned one. And when they do, it&#039;ll be the first time they&#039;ve done it. NASA has done this many times, and has the wherewithall to continue it. That four year gap is a yawning chasm in space agency time.</description>

		<description>The squidboy is back in the lead the last time I checked hehe. BA was about a hundred ahead a few hours before that. Ah well.

Anyway, back on topic. I agree with Evolving Squid. I am constantly annoyed that Canadian polititions can&#039;t see that bumping up the budget of the CSA would be a good thing. It is currently so pitifully small that I am embarrassed every time the agency is mentioned. I want a real space agency!</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Reason #11 to vote for Pharyngula...&lt;/strong&gt;

 Someone is voting like mad, and it ain&#039;t one of my partisans. The naked dude is passing me by and increasing his lead. Vote for Pharyngula (and remember, you can vote every day!). Unless you really want to read......</description>
