Shutlle returns safely but "Where's the Beef?"

Happy they landed safely today. Now that they are back, what was really accomplished on this trip. Maybe I have it all wrong, but I didn't see much of anything accomplished, as I have written in an earlier posting. Seriously folks, someone has got to state the obvious simple truth. It hasn't been worth the money! Between the money we are spending in Iraq, which is also not worth it, and the Shuttle, we are now broke as a nation. We could have spent this money on helping the effort Blair started in Africa to end poverty and help African nations really get on their feet. That truly would have been a mission we would have all been proud.

Isn't anybody listening or are they all too busy deciding if they should run again in 2006 and 2008 for political office. No one is watching the store, so to speak. But we are and we get our chance to speak again in 2006 and 2008. maybe this time we will speak with one voice and scream, "Enough is enough!"

Update: Noon PST

On MSNBC I learned the mission of this Shuttle by veteran reporter, Jay Barbree of NBC. He named 3 things that were this mission objectives:
• Go bring stuff to Space Station
• Spacewalk to repair Tiles in Space
• Bring back trash from Space Station

Expensive garbage service!!!!!!
