Couldn't Have Happened To A Nicer Crony

This weekend, I posted about White House attempts to "to control the flow of scientific information" at NASA. One of the people responsible for this effort was George Deutsch, a presidential appointee in NASA headquarters. Among his highlights, he sent an email to a colleague preparing a presentation for schools telling him the word 'theory' needed to be added after every mention of the Big Bang because it's "not proven fact; it is opinion" and that "It is not NASA's place, nor should it be to make a declaration such as this about the existence of the universe that discounts intelligent design by a creator." Sounds like the kids will getting all the right info now!

Well now, poor Mr. Deutsch has had to resign.

It turned out that he had lied on his resume. How Michael Brown of him.
