Geeze. That's so wasteful. Who cares about the moon? We should be putting the smack down on Putin.

(Totally kidding, in case you couldn't tell.)

THANKS OBAMA!

I guess I'm having a hard time understanding how something that was signed into law two years ago still needs to come up before the House.
