"How the White House put its own spin on research"
A snip from an article. Enjoy...

"The Bush administration was on Tuesday accused of systemic tampering with the work of government climate scientists to eliminate politically inconvenient material about global warming.

At a hearing of Congress, scientists and advocacy groups described a campaign by the White House to remove references to global warming from scientific reports and limit public mention of the topic to avoid pressure on an administration opposed to mandatory controls on greenhouse gas emissions."

1. That was one of the stories on our local NBC affiliate tonight...

The broadcaster who was reading off her sheet about the lowlife, scumbag Bush and his band of sleezbags tampering with scientific data relating to Global Warming made her look completely SICK to her stomach.

Eventually, all of the lies will catch up to that sad, ugly little man.

One of these days, the shit will finally hit the fan.

2. Only when we're standing in front of the fan.
It's late. I'm bitter.

3. C-Span covered the hearings
and the civilian witnesses clearly exposed the interference of results of prominent scientific research by Bush appointees with documentmented facts.
For the Dem reps who were asking questions, it was like shooting fish in a barrel, they outnumbered the minority party's representatives who as were as usual only attacking the messengers and not the message. Henry Waxman Rocks!
