Scientists: Scamming America
From The Daily Show, via Why Evolution is True, here’s a hard-hitting expose on the slick con called “science” that is scamming America.
I am generally a fan of the two-party system. Sadly, at the moment in this country, one of the parties is completely crazy.
Update: Sorry that the video isn’t available outside the U.S. Note that Lisa Randall was a guest earlier on the show.

One was having a pleasant conversation with another Evil Scientist, and the idea of Research Grants, and how Scientists must always "Pimp Their Work Out" for the investors. It was quite fun, and went on, and this idea that a Randian Strike, might help loosen Wallets. What IF all the Scientists just took up some other vocation. How long until people would pay fairly for the work of Scientists?
There are quite a few Evil Scientists roaming around. We need to form "The Fraternity of Evil Scientists" just for the Alma Mater opportunities. These Evil Scientists are, but are not limited to;
Magnus Obsidian
Professor Plague
Dr. Overkill
Drake Dreadful
Lord Malignance
and... ?
One is sure One is missing a name or two. Still - to The Fraternity!

Dibs. I've killed so many fish embryos for research - I should get at least an honorable mention.
