Good ole Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy has an article today:

“NASA decides there’s no place like home, and home is no place.”

He discusses the fact that due to probable pressure from the bush Administration, NASA’s official mission statement has removed the phrase: “To understand and protect our home planet….”

This of course has a lot of NASA scientists and researchers up in arms, considering how much NASA does to research climate change, meterology (like working to predict earthquakes and typhoons, for example,) geology, etc. It’s another tendril of hostility the administration has regarding issues that “cause them problems,” such as global warming.

I’m too tired to tirade about this. It really speaks for itself. bush and his greedy, criminal, ideological, fascist, theocratic, arrogant, dogmatic cronies suck beyond belief and have no right running a pluralist and free nation. Oh wait, they don’t want to, thus they’re trying to change it, wantonly ignoring reality in the process.
