my favorite quote:

"Fifty billion dollars to buy atoms is too much," Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) said. "Frankly, I don't understand why they don't just gather up all the leftover atoms in their test tubes and Bunsen burners. I think the scientists should have to use those up before getting new ones."

the science thing even looks like an onion with all its layers peeled back. it's a conspiracy and possibly indecent! i can grow a science thingy for a tenth of that AND reduce CO2 emissions at the same time. if you look at the diagram it is clear that if you make the 2 bigger, you don't need 3 and most of 4. there's a big savings right there. you reduce the volume by using garlic instead of onions. ;)
