"vending machine science"
Can you guess who uttered the following words??

"This is not real science. This is "vending machine science." The Administration thinks it can pull a lever and get the results it wants. For the sake of short-term political gain, the Administration is basing its decisions on weak science. As a result, it is putting at risk America's economic strength, our future prosperity, and our health and safety."

If you guessed Tom Daschle, you guessed right. It seems that the senior senator from South Dakota has developed a backbone (Ok maybe not). Nevertheless, his recent Senate speech on the state of science in the US was a breath of fresh air. I'm looking for full text and will post when I can find it.
