shocking news today out of washington: g-dub and his buddies are fucking with epa data.

889 scientists or 60 percent, said they had personally experienced at least one instance of political interference in the last five years; 394 said they experienced frequent or occasional "statements by EPA officials that misrepresent scientists' findings."

More than one-fifth, or 285, said they had experienced "selective or incomplete use of data to justify a specific regulatory outcome," the report said.

remember all those times in college when you wrote a paper and then just basically skimmed the book that you never read for quotes that may vaguely support your point? a lot of people still do it, especially when they want it to fit in with their ideology. while it's fairly acceptable from two bit bloggers, it seems a little wacky to deny empirical data because it doesn't fit in with your 4000-year-old book of jewish tribal mythology.
