So, I was listening to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me this weekend, and they had an interesting tidbit:

Apparently, there is some buzz about NASA considering a manned Mars mission -- as a one-way trip. Up to four astronauts would be sent to Mars as the first step in establishing permanent human settlements on the planet -- and they'd never return.

I immediately thought of which 4 people on planet Earth, I'd most like to see spend the rest of their lives on Mars....My top 4 picks:

1) Regis Philbin
2) Kelly Ripa
3) Mel Gibson
4) 3 way tie: Charlie Sheen/LadyGaga/Ke$ha

So for pure fun -- who are your top picks to go to Mars....and never come back?

As a nod to Ray Bradbury's "Mars is Heaven!" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_is_Heaven!)...

1) Obama
2) Reid
3) Pelosi
4) Frank

Damn, they'd get that planet running like a top, eh?

Well, Mars is the red planet. So a commusoshulizt utopia would be most appropriate.

Dang, no "useful fools" to do all the work while they argue about redistributing it. :P
