U.S. Scientists Say They Are Told to Alter Finding
tree3075 writes "The LA Times is reporting that a survey by the Union of Concerned Scientists and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility has found hundreds of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service scientists have been instructed to change findings to favor business interests. I'm not surprised anymore when I read these things."

In Australia, some call it bush bashing. Others call it four wheel driving!
Trains? BWAHAHAHAHhaah. The trains are a shadow of their former self. No, all that matters is that the airline CEOs make money. Not that the planes take off or land on time (or that they take off or land at all). Trains? No one cares about trains any more since they don't make too much money for anyone any more.
America has become a land ruled by the sole commandment "thou shalt make money for thy CEO". Anything else goes out the window. Scientific truth is just the latest victim of many.
Honey, I shrunk the Cygwin
"In the last decade and a half, i.e., a pretty good chunk of time, more time was spent under a Democratic administration...i.e., other arguments aside, if there are any "problems", they're not only due to Bush."
Are you a professional idiot?
It's a vast left-wing conspiracy. Decent people know that God put the environment here and God will fix any pollution problems, assuming the rapture doesn't happen first!

In the news today, scientists working on politically sensitive issues are pressured by politicans.
Slashdot readers are shocked and amazed.
"I blame the Bush administration" says one.
"Who would of thought there would be a connection between the Federal government and Federally mandated enviromental issues?" Crys another.
"Wait, it doesn't say if enviromental groups were pressuring the Scientists." Commented one before he was quicken beaten down.
Democrats or Republicans. They are both taking us to the same place and they are not afraid of us anymore.

Someone had to do it.
Chocolate rations are up! There is no environmental problem! The defecit is not a problem! Except social security, that's fucked! But tax breaks for the rich are the best idea since pre-emptive wars! We have always been at war with Oceania^WIraqanistanKorea!

They way you Yanks are going you won't need any WOMD to fuck you over - you're doing a fine job all by yourself.

Great choice of president, by the way. And secretary of state. And secretary of 'defence'. And
Exactly as you said: the trains run on time. The trains have always run on time. I'm glad you agree that the trains run on time. The trains will always run on time. Thank you, move along, nothing to see here.

Which is why I do my part by never RTFA. Mostly cuz the articles are usually basically what the summary says, e.g. "windows teh cool, SCO rulez, linux teh bad!"...
The comments are what I come for

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
I, for one, welcome our new censored, creationist supporting theocratic "scientists"
Middle manager (nervously): Ah, very well, but you might want to take out the part about the President and Halliburton. I don't think that's been proven yet.
Lefty scientist: Oh ho! See? See? Censorship! McCarthy! Halliburton! Enron! Chimpy! Bushitler! WMDs! Arsenic! Kyoto!
Too much Law; not enough Order.
So, in other words, you're definitely a Democrat.
Your sig should read:
G.W. Bush: Proof that you only have to fool half of the people for about a month to win a second term.
