New, non-ideological approach to science? Riiiiight.

Wow, Obama is purportedly purging the Federal gov't of science deniers. Appointments signal change in approach to science - The Denver Post:

"From landing on the moon, to sequencing the human genome, to inventing the Internet, America has been the first to cross that new frontier because we had leaders who paved the way," Obama said in announcing his selections in his weekly radio address. "'Leaders who not only invested in our scientists, but who respected the integrity of the scientific process. Because the truth is that promoting science isn't just about providing resources — it's about protecting free and open inquiry.

'It's about ensuring that facts and evidence are never twisted or obscured by politics or ideology,' he said. 'I could not have a better team to guide me in this work,' Obama said."

And you gotta love the unintentional "internet inventor" shout out to the failed divinity and law school student Al Gore . . .

Will ideology continue trumping science?

Who you callin' a science denier?
