Loving the title [img]smile.gif[/img]

Awful story though... We need some rational independent thought at the top!

Crap. I applied for a National Science Foundation graduate assistanceship for next Fall

That falls right in line with the great Pell-Grant increase hooey. They were expanded in the number of them given out (which was among the political defenses in Bush's education record this past election), but what isn't commonly heard is that they were significantly reduced in amount, making them much less useful in meeting the increasing costs of college.

LOL - GWB BSc, BE, BEc, BEd, G.O.D.

Reminds me of that famous quote "it's not what we don't know that is so important - it's what we know that ain't so"

Sounds to me like GWB might "know" a lot of things that "ain't so" .

Sounds like Bush has been spending too much time with Donald Rumsfeld.

"There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
