Isn't that a kick in the ass, to have one of the worst destroyers of US science keynote, along with his pal Bill Clinton, at a scientific conference on biotechnology.

I wonder if the topic will be how evil stem cells are?

Excuse me, I have to go vomit.

Can't that man stay in his hole?

2. Probably the same MBA's who have displaced scientists running pharmaceutical companies.

One way to climb the corporate ladder in pharmaceutical companies is to assiduously avoid knowing any science.

4. Almost like inviting Goebells to speak at "B'Nai Brith."

Haven't used Godwin's law in a while.

Or at least it's like inviting Amory Lovins to a meeting of engineers.
