From that right wing rag Mother Jones...

Quote:A scientist hired to oversee scientific integrity at the Department of Interior says he was canned earlier this year for flagging concerns about one of the agency's studies. Dr. Paul Houser, a hydrologist, has accused the DOI of "scientific and scholarly misconduct and reprisal," a complaint currently under investigation within the agency.

Quote:When he raised those concerns to then-DOI press secretary Adam Fetcher, Houser says he was told that he should not write anything about them in any electronic correspondence. "He wanted a hard copy, no email," says Houser, in order to avoid creating any internal correspondence that could be subject to a Freedom of Information Act request. (Fetcher is now the deputy national press secretary for Obama's reelection campaign.)

You wouldn't know what science was if it bit you on the ass(despite you claiming to be in the fiekd of science). THat is unless the Bible is science, of course. Your kind are bringing us to the new dark ages(yes moron, that actually happened).

So, what's your science background, Robs?

His apartment is probably infested with rats and cockroaches. Does that count?

Well, it certainly isn't the Bible.

Just read the article, and one thing really struck me.

They run the same hokey ads at Mother Jones that they do an WND.COM.

Exactly the same ads! Talk about covering both ends of the spectrum.

Nice, but I didn't ask you what it isn't.
