Congress and NASA: how to waste money quickly and efficiently

OK, since Congress didn't pass a 2011 funding bill (yet/if ever), the 2010 bill is still in effect. And that bill (a LAW) requires that NASA spend $500 million buckaroos, otherwise known as a cool half-billion bucks, on a launch system that won't ever fly.

And the GOP makes noise about $1,500 earmarks for little history heritage museums that otherwise would have to charge $10 for admission.

Geez.
