Cronies Sans Credentials Censor Science

Remember this story about the NASA scientist being blocked? Looks like the little scamp who restricted his speech is also more than a little liar:

George C. Deutsch, the young presidential appointee at NASA who told public affairs workers to limit reporters' access to a top climate scientist and told a Web designer to add the word "theory" at every mention of the Big Bang, resigned yesterday, agency officials said.

Mr. Deutsch's resignation came on the same day that officials at Texas A&M University confirmed that he did not graduate from there, as his résumé on file at the agency asserted.

Maybe he can get a job helping Brownie consult on disaster management. They both have the same qualifications.

Speaking of blogs, now that you are liberated from corporate america, is you own coming soon?

Yes, within the next two weeks, if all goes according to plan. One theme I'll poke at frequently is, broadly, ways in which religious movements/precepts/etc. form and drive ostensibly nonreligious events.
