Appropriate reaction to the successful lauch of the Orion space craft: THAT. WAS. AWESOME.
Nice to see Indiana in the vanguard once again, becoming one of 17 stares (led, naturally, by Texas) filing a lawsuit against President Obama's decision to create legal status for millions of illegal immigrants by executive action:
