I'm sorry to hear that. I shall notify the 164 NASA sponsored teams that they should plan on dissolving next year. Also I should notify the planning committees of VCU, Buckeye, Portland, Florida, Silicon Valley, Lone Star, Wisconsin, Los Angeles, Bayou, and Hawaii that their regionals are cancelled. Maybe if we hurry we can get the teams to go to other regionals that aren't funded by the government.

I'll let you be the one to tell Dean that DEKA should give up on prosthetic limbs, and you can also tell the soldiers that had their limbs blown off during the occupations. Also while you're at it, please tell all of the teams of your plan to privately broadcast the Kickoff, the Championship, and regionals over the internet, since we can't use NASA TV anymore.

Seriously though, the "taxes through roof" arguement is tired and childish. FIRST seems to be doing quite well, thank you very much, with government funding. I'd rather my tax dollars be going towards something worthwhile like FIRST instead of inane things like holding investigations on steroids in baseball. Besides, if you just eliminate the $275 million we spend on one day of the occupation, you could fully fund FIRST for the entire year, so don't go around with this bull$#!% about taxes going up.
