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.

“The Great Immensity,” with a book by Steven Cosson (“This Beautiful City”) and music and lyrics by Michael Friedman (“Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson”), tells the story of Polly, a photojournalist who disappears while working in the rain forests of Panama. . . . .

Another great idea brought to you by the same people who brought us national health care.

Ugh.

Everyone involved in that production is a political and artistic whore.

The phrase “more money than they know what to do with,” comes to mind.

This is straight out of the Heinrich Himmler playbook.

It’s beginning to appear that placing the terms “Science” and “National” adjacent to each other will create an Oxymoron.

I pray that our true scientists intervene so as to prevent our scientific establishment from becoming the laughing stock that is the Nobel crowd. (Physics excepted, of course.)

Frankly, I'm surprised NSF didn't fund "Barack Obama: The Musical."

Will they be granting me $700K for my play about climate change called “THE CROCK”?

My favorite part is when Toto pulls back the curtain to reveal that the Great and Powerful Oz is only Al Gore....a demented presidential election loser who sold “Dr. Good” at his medicine show and believes that it's “several million degrees” 2 KM beneath the surface of the Earth (much hotter than the surface of the Sun.)

The other part I like is when the Wizard blames leprechauns driving SUV’s and unicorns farting for a blizzard in Kansas.

That part always cracks me up!

This is the kind of funding that a NEW House committee should look at and tell the head of the agency that 700,000 will be reduced fromt heir next budget.

No. Defund this politicized outfit altogether. Their whole $6.9 billion budget.

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