Lamar Smith, Future Chairman For the House Committee On Science, Space, and Tech

An anonymous reader writes "Lamar Smith, a global warming skeptic, will become the new chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. Someone who disagrees with the vast majority of scientists will be given partial jurisdiction over NASA, EPA, DOE, NSF, NOAA, and the USGS. When will candidates who are actually qualified to represent science or at a minimum show an interest in it be the representatives of science with regard to political decision-making?"

Youths have always been mostly liberal. It takes a while to realize that giving people free stuff doesn't actually help them, it just makes them dependent on free stuff.
