think I am going to throw up--caught an episode of Nova yesterday-- and right there, in the

sponsorship list, was "david h. koch" supporting science and research. does that jerk have a good twin, or is he just trying to pretend he isn't a total jerk?

He also supports the ballet, and got booed when he attended a while back. People are waking up.

However, it's good that his foundation funds science education, which will undermine the wacky anti-science Repugnant party agenda. Especially awesome was that here in MI they showed James Balog Nova about melting ice fields, an absolutely awesome Nova.

It's kind of ironic that the Repugs are denying that global warming is happening and at the same time funding educational TV demonstrating that they're full of shit.

But, then again, Repugnants seem to have irony deficiency disorder. (Thank you, Eugenie Scott, for that one.)
