The National Science Foundation has awarded a $700,000 grant to the Civilians, a New York theater company, to finance the production of a show about climate change.

WTF???? Propagandist Unlimited....
Another great idea brought to you by the same people who brought us national health care.
Ugh.
This is so gay.
Algore will make a great dancing hippo.
Wow, the Civilians can get together with 1010global.org and really produce something of memory . . . .
I want my tax dollars back!
Everyone involved in that production is a political and artistic whore.

How wonderfully anti-Constitutional.
Will they be granting me $700K for my play about climate change called “THE CROCK”?

What comes to mind is the sheer ruthlessness of such frivolous spending in the middle of a recession.
