Pluto is a harsh mistress

Dramatis Personae
Barack Obama, President of the United States
Al Gore, Former Vice-President of the United States

GORE: Mr. President, we must send a manned mission to Pluto at once. And I graciously volunteer to head it.

OBAMA: Pluto? Why Pluto?

GORE: Have you not read [1]? There’s global warming on Pluto!

OBAMA: Oh, my God.

GORE: We must convince the people of Pluto to destroy their economy before it’s too late. I’m even translating An Inconvenient Truth into Plutian as we speak.

OBAMA: But . . . but what if the warming is simply occurring naturally?

GORE: Denier! You’re a denier!

OBAMA: Who, me? No.

GORE: So you’ll commit the funds for the mission?

OBAMA: Just how long will you be gone?

GORE: Hundreds of light years. At least.

OBAMA: You know, I think I can scrap up the money. Something tells me even Republicans will support the idea.
