WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT – AT 7:59 A.M. ET:  And we thought these people were progressive, enlightened, on the cutting edge.  Hah.  Look what they did:

(AP) Denver residents have jettisoned a plan to officially track space aliens.

The proposal defeated soundly Tuesday night would have established a commission to track extraterrestrials. It also would have allowed residents to post their observations on Denver's city Web page and report sightings.

The Denver man who proposed the measure, Jeff Peckman, says the government is tracking alien sightings but refuses to make the reports public. Peckman is a meditation instructor and promoter of new technology, including something he says reduces the "chaos of electromagnetic fields."

Peckman contends opponents greatly inflated the commission's projected cost.

He previously proposed an unsuccessful ordinance requiring the city to offer stress-reduction measures.

COMMENT:  Is there no room for science?  I ask you, is there no room for science?  If you were a space alien, how would you feel about this?  Rejected?  Oppressed?  Ignored?   

Sure.  This is the first sign that BUSH (!!) is back.
