Team Chimpy vs. reality, chapter 9,435,322

60 Minutes last night.  Bush muzzling scientists when the science contradicts his worldview. (The link also leads to the video if you missed it.  Worth a look.)

Not much different from the handling of pre-war intelligence, incidentally.

On a related note, good thoughts to the folks in Queensland who just got Katrinaed.  I don’t know anybody there myself, but we’ve got enough Aussie readers that somebody might have family.  My best wishes to you.
