the ever-cheeky Barron's comes through again with this gem:
As for Newt [Gingrich], he outdid himself by unveiling a lunartic plan to build an American colony on the moon within eight years once he gets past the preliminary nuisance of being elected president. Cynics were quick to seize on the fact that he made the announcement in Cocoa, Fla., in the heart of NASA country, where there's a heap of unhappiness because of layoffs from a much-reduced space program as evidence that the scheme was brazenly political.
But we think that's unfair. For one thing, Newt's indisputably spacey. For another, he's already promised the moon to the voters so there's no reason to doubt his desire to give them a colony on that celestial body as well.
