Bush's Star Wars Systems Scores Another F-

Doesn't matter that its cost would fund SS and education for many years to come - even though Bush's missile defense system tests have flunked every damned time, he won't withdraw the plan.

Of course, CNN spins these non-successes differently. In the past, when the tests also failed severely, the govmint used to say they were "spectacular successes" within certain "core" criteria. Meaning, I guess, that somebody spelled the name of the test right in paperwork or that each failure that got Bush's "yahoo!" netted Karl Rove another campaign check.
