The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology seems to be loaded up with Republican Congressmen who don't believe in science!! First we have Todd Akin, who believes that women can't get pregnant from rape and that doctors perform many abortions on women who aren't pregnant (!). Then we have Dr. Paul Broun, an M.D. no less, who has proclaimed "evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory are 'lies straight from the pit of hell'." What on earth are the Republican leadership thinking?? There are more. These people, who clearly neither understand nor have any respect for science, are totally unqualified to serve on a committee overseeing it. And this country cannot afford to have its science education and research policy driven into the ground by such ignorant fools! Here's another commentary:
