BLINDED BY SCIENCE….George Deutsch, a 24-year old former intern with the Bush/Cheney campaign, is the guy who instructed a NASA web designer to add the word “theory” to every reference to the Big Bang:

The Big Bang is “not proven fact; it is opinion,” Mr. Deutsch wrote, adding, “It is not NASA’s place, nor should it be to make a declaration such as this about the existence of the universe that discounts intelligent design by a creator.”

It continued: “This is more than a science issue, it is a religious issue. And I would hate to think that young people would only be getting one-half of this debate from NASA. That would mean we had failed to properly educate the very people who rely on us for factual information the most.”

I’m happy to report that the top Google result for “George Deutsch” is now this post at World O’Crap, which documents Mr. Deutsch’s youthful adventures in journalism at Texas A&M. Enjoy.
