Science Fights Back!
A group of 60 renowned international scientists, including 20 who have won the Nobel Prize, today released a 37 page report accusing the Bush Administration of
"...repeatedly censoring and suppressing reports by its own scientists, stacking advisory committees with unqualified political appointees, disbanding government panels that provide unwanted advice, and refusing to seek any independent scientific expertise in some cases."
Read the article, here, from the New York Times. So on one side we have titans of science, people who are on the very edge of expanding the frontiers of knowledge, and on the other side we have Bush who thinks it's all "fuzzy science."

Howard Dean Bows Out
Howard Dean finished third in Wisconsin and has decided to stop campaigning. Read his statement, here, from Howard Dean For America. Much commentary and sniping was made by the conservative pundits who challenged Dean's leadership ability after his "screaming" incident. These are the same people, for the record, who had no problems putting a fratboy, C-student, coke-addict, drunk-driving, AWOL, kill-for-Jesus, never-left-the-US-in-his-life-before-being-President, clown who couldn't locate Iraq on a map in the Oval Office. Dean deserves credit and respect for galvanizing the Democrats. Before Dean, everyone was afraid to criticize Bush on the Iraq war. Now it is the achilles heel for Bush, and hopefully the Democrats will exploit it to the fullest. Thanks, Mr. Dean.

Presidential Quandary
Unsure which of the candidates sees things the way you do? Take this quiz, here, from AOL, that asks you to rate your own preferences on a range of issues and then matches you up with the candidate most like you. We had a 100% agreement with Dennis Kucinich, it should go without saying.
