Bush Awards Science, Technology Medals

Ok, is it just me or is that headine really funny? If I was one of the award winners, I’d express that the least they could do is have someone with a brain give me the award. Not to mention the guy has no respect for science……..

From Boston.com

“We have researchers who have drilled into glaciers, isolated the DNA of mobile genes and pioneered the distributed feedback laser,” Bush said before presenting the medals in the White House’s East Room. “In other words, we’ve got some smart people here. And we’re glad you’re Americans.”
