I guess the county needs the money...LOL.

If it turns out to be cocaine, have that guy contact the CIA and the Venezuelans.

You know, all of the scientists are know saying it's ice...which apparently means that winter isn't over on Mars yet, either...LOL.

Yep, the scientists are now fairly certain that it is ice. I saw a cool animation of it sublimating (going directly from solid to gas).

I suppose some will say that is Bush's fault too. {sigh}

Well, at least "ice" is only a three-letter word; hopefully, he can pronounce it correctly.

However, since the man cannot complete a longish sentence without flubbing it up, he'd probably say the word for the backside of a donkey instead.

If only ice-cream sublimated on sight : )

It could be powdered milk...or maybe leftovers from some martian LDS member's wheat storage.
