EVEN MORE SIGNS OF
THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S
ATTACK ON SCIENCE

  • Bush enlists tobacco company executives to swear under oath that a lack of scientific integrity does not cause cancer
  • All reports now have the phrase "global warming" replaced with "Bermudafication of the Paradise Planet"
  • The science-fixers don't even believe their own spin anymore and now assert that reasonable people CAN'T disagree
  • Hoping to set a precedent, the administration's new omnibus contract with Halliburton specifically forbids integrity

FUNNY QUOTES FOR
Scientific Integrity  Cartoon

"President Bush has a plan [to fight global warming]. He says that if we need to, we can lower the temperature dramatically just by switching from Fahrenheit to Celsius."

– Jimmy Kimmel

"The Union of Concerned Scientists says the Bush administration manipulates and suppresses science. The administration points out that the Union of Bought and Paid for Scientists disagrees."

– Fark.com

"Should we force science down the throats of those that have no taste for it? Is it our duty to drag them kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century? I am afraid that it is."

– George Porter,
    British chemist
