More on Bush vs Science

BBC News has an article on the Bush administration's hostility to science something I wrote about before. They of course have more facts. Since entering office Bush has cut university research funding by almost half. Vint Cerf wrote about this in the Wall Street Journal.

Here's another scary quote "How radically we have moved away from regulation based on professional analysis of scientific data ...to regulation controlled by the White House and driven by political considerations." That's from Russell Train, an EPA administrator under Nixon and Ford.

There's a reason geeks are creating things like this.
