Okay, so, The Shrub has put some ideas on the table about space exploration. Bug stuff about going to the Moon and Mars. Skeptics wonder why - my own first thought is that it's mostly to get some space-junkies to vote for him in November.

But, given some of the policy decisions of the current administration, one is tempted to ask, "What does Halliburton get out of it? Drilling rights?"

Unfortunately, that may not be far from the truth...
