You've Got To Be Kidding

While on the subject of books, let me take a moment to condemn the US Congress (once more.) This time, it's because of their choice of witnesses. The House of Representatives is holding a committee on the use of science in policy making. Excellent. I'd like to see Chris C. Mooney, author of "The Republican War on Science" called to testify, and I'd like to see the National Academy of Science detail how the Bush Administration has hurt US commerce and industry with it's incessant war against the scientific method.

What's that? No can do? Well, which expert witness have you called?

No. Seriously? The dinosaur guy? Oh, we're so screwed.
