Comments on: Another Bush flunkie at NASA http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/08/01/another-bush-flunkie-at-nasa/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic.

The latest was yesterday when the Congress, with its Democrat majorities who were elected to put a stop to this abortion of justice and defilement of the Constitution, knuckled under and gave King George even more authority for illegal wiretaps and spying on American citizens. Come on, January 20, 2009! But it's still going to take a long time after that to repair the damage done to science, education, and the country in general after we kick the bums out.

Granted, I stopped really paying attention when the author proved an inability to differentiate between "Bush/Cheney/Rove". I guess you'd be upset that the janitors at NASA didn't have BSME's in Sanitation. I’m sorry, but… where’s the controversy here?
