Science Idols

Ahem. This just in. The American Association of Petroleum Geologists recently awarded Michael Crichton a journalism award. For his novel State Of Fear.

I… I’m… zzt...

Speechless.


The Union of Concerned Scientists is running its Science Idols cartoon contest. I was vacillating between numbers 3 and 7 but now I’m sommer going to vote for number 10, dammit.

Of course it would get the award... the AAPG all recieve their paychecks from Dubya and his buddies. If he tells them to give their little award to his favourite true-life novel-book that his wife read to him between martinis, they can't exactly say no.

I'm voting for 2 though.
