GOP Declares War on Science

Not an original or even recent headline, I grant you; just the most recent assault on another front. I had the misfortune of having to meet the chucklehead Barton back in the mid-90s when I was working a beat on the Hill for The People's Radio Network. (By the way, never believe a word Pat Choate tells you.)

Anyway, the sense I'm getting here inside the beltway is the Repos are feeling the heat about the Iraq debacle and genuinely fear losing control of Congress in '06. And so they're throttling up their grand scheme to completely disembowel the federal government, or as much of it and as fast as they can, from any further oversight as it pertains to the corporate fancy, in the event they are indeed kicked to the curb and not nearly soon enough.

P.S. A shout of solidarity to Raymond Bradley, director of the Climate System Research Centre at the University of Massachusetts. Keep fighting the bastards, Ray!

You're rather naive' aren't you. "Irag
debacle" you idiot is keeping your ass
from getting blown up in your office building by crazed terriost that want to kill anybody that dosen't believe like them. I don't wish harm on anyone but if it has to come I hope it hits people like you that have no long vision regarding the WAR on terroism. If you had been around during WWII you and your kind would be calling the beaches of Normandy a "debacle". Be thankful there are young men who are willing to die so spoiled idiots like your have the freeedom to voice their opinion.
