Deutsch resigns

2006-02-08 17:48:40.105614+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

George C. Deutsch resigns from NASA. Deutsch, you may remember, was the Bush "science advisor" political advisor who wanted NASA to change "Big Bang" to "Big Bang theory" on all of their web pages, do similar things with discussions of evolution, and suppress discussion of climate change and global warming.

Turns out he also lied about graduating from Texas A&M. As the Sensible Erection entry on this said:

The absurdity of a NASA official denying the Big Bang aside, I feel kinda bad for anyone who has to lie to convince the world they were smart enough for A&M.

And it's worth noting that the efforts of a weblog brought about this little change for good in national politics.
