Title: Very Interesting
Post by: MikeyV on December 14, 2006, 11:47:56 PM
I recently ran across this site (http://www.ucsusa.org/scientific_integrity/interference/a-to-z-guide-to-political.html) as featured on Slashdot (http://politics.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/12/14/2123214).

It's a site that chronicles the current administrations interference in scientific inquiry.

It's sad and disgusting, all at once.

Sad, disgusting, and not a surprise: the Re[a]gan administration redefined ketchup as a vegetable to meet some silly requirement for school lunch nutrition.  Politics always trumps wise and honest policy in this administration.

Ketchup isn't a vegetable? Dammit! Now I have to recalculate all of my calorie counting back as far as 1984. Sonofabitch!
