Had Bubba Clinton not hated the Super Conducting Super-Collider so much that he had it destroyed before it was finished, we might have discovered the Higgs Boson years ago.

I’m just sayin’.

[I cannot think of a name]

As much as I like to blame Clintoon for everything, many willing accomplices proceeded him. Start with Congress - I guess they didn't like that it was in Texas. George Bush 1 never really supported it. And the project was well over budget.

I had several friends working on it, and at the time of cancellation the problems had been solved and it was back on track.

“Officially” Clintoon did ask that it not be canceled. Of course he didn't really mean it and knew congress intended to do it anyway. There were lots of rumors that big oil funded the push in congress to kill it - but I don't think it was ever proven.
