Call it the political revenge of the nerds. For nearly eight years, many mainstream scientists have been frustrated with the Bush administration. They've claimed that science has been censored, ignored and politicized on issues from global warming to stem cells to evolution. Even the presidential science adviser was booted from the White House, forced to set up office down the street.

They advocate mandatory caps on the main global warming gas and favor federal funding for embryonic stem cell research - positions opposite the Bush Administration.

Not in the astronomy field. They are still seething because McCain called out Obama on giving funding to the Planetarium in Chicago and called the projector and “overhead projector”.

overhead projectorI know it made him sound stupid because we all think of those projectors in school, but he was right. These projectors project a 360 degree sky scene "overhead" on a dome shaped ceiling.
