1. "I still can't see my approval ratings."

[Fridays Child]

7. I believe we have a winner.

:toast:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. I humbly accept this non-monetary award.

:toast:

[CatWoman]

21. omg!!!!

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[BluePatriot]

28. yep, the winner! can't stop laughing!!!

[acmavm]

2. DAMN, so that's the ONLY functioning brain cell I had? And I

broke it?

[undeterred]

3. Wow, that's my dick! I've never seen it.

:evilgrin:

[CrazyOrangeCat]

9. Too true . . .

. . . and I really think that may be why he's so goddamn mean.

[Az]

4. Um Mr President.... I haven't turned it on yet

[ThatsMyBarack]

5. "Save the wee white embryos!"

I came up with this in light of the "save the embryos from Katrina" story. Know what I mean?

[racaulk]

6. If I keep looking for those WMD's, I'm sure I'll find them SOMEWHERE! n/t

[Botany]

8. Bush w/ a stero microsope looking @ tissue samples

Why not a fish with a bicycle or a submarine w/ screen doors.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

11. yep, he's out of his element there.

I'll bet he uttered something profound, like, "Wow, it makes little things look big!"

dumbfucker

:banghead:

[Virginia Dare]

14. From the look on the face of the guy in the white coat...

I do believe you're right about that.

[Botany]

20. I would expect more a long the lines of ...

.... "Gee, sure are a lot of those cell thing-ie and they all have some sort a spot in the
middle of them."



Biologists across the world must recoil in horror at the imagine of
bush @ a microscope.

[TZ]

25. tossing my cookies is more like it

I know a fellow DU'er who had to go to NIH for a special training session today. Poor dear...

[CrazyOrangeCat]

29. Welcome to DU!

[Botany]

32. I have family who works @ NASA and * has screwed that up too.

His "mission to mars" has sucked up too much money and time
from the REAL SCIENTISTS and their real work.

I got my B.S. in Biology 25 years ago .... and I am sickened
by the sight of this unelected idiot doing a photo op w/ a
microscope.

BTW Tell your friend @ N.I.H. to take a shower and take
him/her out for a drink tonight.

[TZ]

34. doesn't he screw up everything?

Telling how much NIH is screwed up (probably by *) would take way too long. I just quit NIH in December after a Bush flunky "fired" my boss in October with no explanation..the guy is a genius scientist but very honest..so that doomed him I think..don't even get my started on the culture of deception, backstabbing,lying and incompetence that * seems to have established there. Oh: and you will love this-the official reason he was fired- he didn't behave properly. Seems he actually fired and demoted people who did their jobs and stood up for principle. Horrors!!! (vaccine trials in africa involved on children--really scary):mad:

[Botany]

35. bush & company dispise science except for defense "reasons"

they hate the fact that science is neutral and is based on repeatable
observation and not politics.

They also hate science so as to play to their fundy base.

They also gutted the EPA, DOE, Agriculture, and Interior of real
workers and put in "true believers."
(one of bush's projects has doomed the wild run salmon in the
American west)



The damage this group is doing to our country will take years to repair.

[dethl]

12. "But Condi told me she was clean"

n/t

[bearfan454]

[Blackhatjack]

13. "Even Using This Telescope, These Things Sure Appear Small!" n/t

[TZ]

15. Gotta make sure them stem cells..

Are all behaving like ah told them too... (meanwhile my former boss sits at a desk somewhere on the NIH campus having been fired for doing his job too well...sorry a bit bitter):puke:

[sakabatou]

16. second pic:

"Heh... Just you wait. I put black paint on the eyepieces."

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

17. "They Said They're Puttin My Plan Under The Microscope. Let Me See If I Find Anything First"

"Phew, looks like no spelling errors after all, heh heh"

[TahitiNut]

18. Winner of the Wrinkled Forehead Award for 2007!

:rofl:

[Sydnie]

19. Looks like someone has been eatin' corn. heh heh heh

What a maroon!

[BlueJac]

22. Are you sure I can see my brain with this?

[jgraz]

23. Hang on-- you said there'd be 3d pictures of puppies!

[Contrary1]

24. Can't see a thing.

This microscope has something wrong with it...just like those binoculars.

[Sugar Smack]

26. Beat me to it!

:toast:

[peekaloo]

27. Jupiter's the big one, right? Should have paid more attention in astrology class.

Is the photo-grapher finished yet, my back's hurtin'.

[bearfan454]

30. Take the lens caps off you fucking idiot
