George Honors Scientists ---pix->>>
Edited on Mon Feb-13-06 01:47 PM by Stephanie


I guess these are scientists who know how to keep their mouths shut about inconvenient truths?

How was the weekend home alone, George? Did Pickles remember to lock the liquor cabinets?

2. The article doesn't say what
field of science Dr. Lightfoot is in, but he better watch out because funding WILL be cut. A Google search on Edward N. Lightfoot brings up zero results.

3. Dr. Lightfoot is an a professor here in Wisconsin.
I happen to know his daughter well and she is no Bushie. I do not know his poliitical background but lets him out of any cracks on scientists. Thank you.

4. I am only wondering if he is censored or not
Most scientists associated with Bush are told to shut up.

10. No cracks on scientists,
just cracks on Bush cutting funding to anyone he lauds.

7. Chemical Engineer, In 1960
Professors R. Byron Bird, Warren E. Stewart and Edwin N. Lightfoot published "Transport Phenomena." Text has since become icon for chemical engineering students. (58th printing in 1998.)

The Chimpster probably told him that it's good that he's not wearing his Engineers hat today otherwise he might not get the medal over his head.

6. Does W remind anyone of Michael Douglas in Falling Down?

"I'm the bad guy?"

I see that as his reaction when he eventually grasps the truth, that is when Karl Rove returns to the abyss...

8. Since when did Bush like science?
That's one thing he and Hitler have a difference on. Heh.
