The most lovely Union of Concerned Scientists has
documented the Bush administration favouring candidates for advisory committees based on their political views. This is apparently because "public policy decisions must, in most cases, incorporate considerations other than science". In other words, oil companies need to continue posting
record profits, so we need some "science" showing that global warming is nothing to worry about. Whew! There really is a
Republican War On Science.
This is approximately as fun as reading
Pat Robertson Quotes.
