I'm heading off to Boston for an event tonight. I may get to blog again from Beantown, or I may not. A couple of things to leave you with: First, check out the latest Bush administration science scandal.

Typical, I know, but do try to sustain the outrage, if you possibly can--at least until the weekend.
Meanwhile, just a reminder that I'm on Tavis Smiley tonight on PBS. Check your local listings; Tivo here.
