The Big Bang wasn't a theory when it was the sound of the door slamming

I saw that on NASAwatch. While I don't have a problem with a chap not
having a college degree, I do have a big problem with a 24 year old
appointee being the chief PAO at NASA. I think back to when I was 24,
there was no way I could handle that kind of responsibility.

I think this really shows how important space exploration is to the
politicians. I really don't believe that this is something peculiar to
the Bush administration. What a freekin' mess!


The Bush administration does this with almost every govt agency.
They push aside career specialists with their 'true believer' team
players. Yes men. They take over and make messes wherever
they go. Just today State Dept employees are complaining that
the career diplomats are being sidelined for party hacks.
Same thing in the EPA, the Justice Dept and so on.

The whole WMD fiasco came about from the same thing.
Only party hacks deciding and the career professionals
are ignored. There's another term for this kind of
phenomena.

It's generally called Incompetence.
