You know NASA's IG is under investigation, from the FBI, no less, right?

I wonder if Griffin is cleaning house. It's sort of amazing, actually.

I didn't think the religious right had much of a problem with the big bang. Or maybe that's just the Catholic church that's kosher with the big bang.

All is well that ends in pizza.

George C. Deutsch, the young presidential appointee at NASA

Last week I told someone I felt that this administration was the most corrupt since Nixon. I'm starting to think I was being generous.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, the Catholic Church is OK with it. But many ID people disagree with the big bang too. In fact, many conflate the two (which is very bizarre to me).

I'm not sure that I understand. How could there be a Big Bang if the world is only a few thousand years old, and people came along the same week as the cosmos?

I used to think that. But for the last few years I've felt that the current administration is much more corrupt than Nixon.

It is also the most radical administration in our history, in terms of their views on the limits on presidential power.

Depends on how far right. It's kind of against the view of the earth being 5000 or so years old, etc.

ETA; Well, this was too late.

I generally go with "since U.S. Grant," m'self. Grant's administration had that by the wealthy, for the wealthy feel to it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

NASA's IG is under investigation,

Wot's IG?

It's possible that the big bang is not really a concern of the administration, but this guy Deutsch-- whose decision-making skills can be fairly questioned at this point-- went too far in doing what he thinks would please the Executive.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That would be NASA's Iggy Pop clone.

Or possibly the Inspector General.
