I love Keith O!

He just gave a great shout-out to his Trek demo tonight. Criticizing the Republican budget unveiled today, which showed spurious projections of the Obama budget priorities out to the year 2080, he quoted an Office of Management and Budget official who said, tactfully, that such long-range projections had 'a significant amount of uncertainty' attached to them. Keith then said 'not surprising, since 2080 will be 17 years after we make contact with the planet Vulcan'.

Hee! He even got the date of 'first contact' right!

If we collected "Cost of Protecting Your Ass" fees from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan. We could wipe that debt out in no time. I think $40 billion each, per year is reasonable. Or they can just fend for themselves.
