They need to call it the NSSF. Or just pseudo-science funding.

Social “science” = oxymoron.

The article has a link to the actual National Science Foundation announcement (which since it is a .gov web site doesn't need to be excerpted:
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic (SBE) Sciences, on Thursday, announced the findings of a year-long study that may chart the course of federally-funded social science research for the near future and beyond.

Called Rebuilding the Mosaic: Fostering Research in the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences at the National Science Foundation in the Next Decade, the report results from a visioning process launched by the directorate in August 2010. It concludes NSF's existing programs serve the social science communities well and new topics, especially multidisciplinary ones, may invite a more flexible structure for future funding.

Executive summary: more $$$ for Obama-supporters in academia.

The trick to getting a government grant is to guarantee a result that the government wants, ie. proving AGW.

I saw that but the headline was too long and the message needed to be clear in the headline.
