Oh, the irony.

After numerous recent reports of the Bush administration putting the squeeze on scientists at the FDA, EPA and the Surgeon General's office, it looks like its the time of year when the prez bestows medals on scientists that accord with his political motives, or at least dont interfere.

Some of what these people have done is really impressive, particularly the work on the Big Bang theory. I wonder if Tony Snow put out a caveat before hand, something like "we realize that the Big Bang theory is a false opinion, fundies of the world, but Congress is making us give them a medal anyway". By the way, thanks to my friend Ryan for trying to explain bootstrapping to me. Guess I need more Corrucini face time.
