Neil deGrasse Tyson on Why We Should Be Wasting More Money on Stupid, Useless Junk Like Science

I was gonna write a post about how Michele Bachmann has discovered who's really responsible for teabaggers' racist/homophobic behavior (Hint: It's Nancy Pelosi, obviously), but then I started thinking that maybe I've been hurting your brain with all the smart smartness I've been posting today. So, I decided that I should really give your brain a rest, and post this clip of Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining what about NASA means for our country's future and why funding it is probably almost certainly for sure not a waste a money…

That felt good, huh? Okay, now back to more intellectual endeavors, like Sarah Palin's TV special and how it was just as good as everybody thought it would be.
