The Bush administration

I have tried to note in this blogs occasions in which evidence has been provided of failures of the Bush administration to deal well with scientific information. If you click on the tags for "Bush administration" and/or "Science Policy" below you will find a long and sad history.

Remember back in 2005 when President Bush indicated that he thought "the theory of intelligent design should be taught with evolution in the nation's public schools." This is consistent in that Nicholas Kristof reports:

Characteristically, he does not believe in evolution--he says the jury is still out--but he does not actively disbelieve in it either; as a friend puts it, "he doesn't really care about that kind of thing."
