The Republican war on science continues. Some 24-year old Bush appointee demands that every reference to "Big Bang" have the word theory attached to it in web pages made about Albert Einstein for middle schoolers (yeah, students of mine, you guys). The funny part is that adding the word theory does not water it down, really, if you know what the word means. This guy doesn't. Go read about this for yourself at the really good Bad Astronomy Blog.
