Our President Is A Fool

Sadly, the attacks on science by the right wing do not stop with evolution. Due to the behavior of the Bush administration 9,000 scientists, including 49 Nobel laureates and 63 National Medal of Scientists recipients signed to following petition:
"A growing number of scientists, policy makers, and technical specialists both inside and outside the government allege that the current Bush administration has suppressed or distorted the scientific analyses of federal agencies to bring these results in line with administration policy. In addition, these experts contend that irregularities in the appointment of scientific advisors and advisory panels are threatening to upset the legally mandated balance of these bodies."
