Another Hubble Discovery!

NASA keeps taking lots of pictures of crazy space stuff, and keeps discovering new things. For example, a fourth moon orbiting Pluto. As P.J. O'Rourke notes in the forthcoming issue of the Weekly Standard,

            Oh, maybe it's a waste of taxpayer money.
            But government wastes taxpayer money.
            This is what government does. It can't
            be changed. Our earliest evidence of
            government, in the ruins of Babylon and
            Egypt, shows nothing but ziggurats and
            pyramids of wasted taxpayer money, the
            TARP funds and shovel-ready stimulus
            programs of their day. Let's waste taxpayer
            money putting that look [of wonder] back
            on [my son's] face.

It's not bullet-proof logic, but he does have a point.
