What GOP War on Science?
Well, isn’t this lovely. The next target of the Republican Party is apparently going to be the National Science Foundation. New majority leader Eric Cantor is inviting the public (via his YouCut website) to search through the NSF’s federal grants and report those eggheads if they’re doin’ somethin’ stoopit like fruit fly research in Paris, France.
The GOP’s war on science is about to go to the trenches.
