[quote]The new chairman of the House science committee has drafted a bill that, in effect[B], would replace peer review at the National Science Foundation (NSF) with a set of funding criteria chosen by Congress[/B]. For good measure, it would also set in motion a process to determine whether the same criteria should be adopted by every other federal science agency.[/quote]
the bill was drafted by the same dude who called evolution a lie from the deepest parts of hell
and hes also our chairman of the science committee
then this' Bill needs to be shot down and he need's to get kicked of Chairman ASAP

Lamar Smith has ten seconds to beat it before I add him to the list of NSF casualties.
the congress already have enough power, despite being bumbling fuckwads
