AV,

Thanks for providing this article. I'm glad you did. Unfortunately, there is a small minority that read this article with disinterest because there is no sensationalism in it. No furloughs, no ambulance chasing, no dogs biting off a grandma's arm, no nutin'.

This thread will get maybe a page or two of responses, however; start a thread about NASA furloughing ET and his friend Kermit the frog and then you'll have a thread as long as the mini-series Thorn Birds starring Richard Chamberlein and Pee Wee Herman.
