I hope Shelby thinks of a better way than Ares I to secure pork for his state. Seriously, I can't believe all of the praise for the Ares I, which is basically a step-back from the Shuttle in all respects (including costs) except for the launch abort system.

He's doing what a senator should.
If it was Jupiter that he was trying to protect, would he still be the bad guy on the NSF forums?
