Broadcasting into space.

This is a bad idea. (scroll down to exoplanet post.) Our government hasn't learned to read the bills they vote on and we are going to broadcast our stupidity across interstellar space? I'd send this.

If we were being realistic we would send a couple thousand pages from the Stimulus, the Democratic budget bill from this year, Bush's TARP idiocy and the assorted health care bills currently floating around. The aliens would know not to expect us for a few thousand more years.

We aren't going anywhere with folks like this running things.
