Why is this posted on slashdot? Ohh my, a website is down due to technical difficulties. Not like that ever happens. I mean, if it was a post after the incident detailing all the specific technical problems and how they fixed it, I could buy it. Come on people.

Abuses of Science Political Cartoon Contest 345

Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday June 04, 2006 @11:17AM from the now-thats-a-strange-idea dept.

AngryNick writes "The Union of Concerned Scientists has announced a cartoon contest for amateur and professional artists. 'The absurdity of political interference in science is fertile ground for satire,' said Dr. Francesca Grifo, Director of the UCS Scientific Integrity Program. 'We hope these contests encourage amateur and professional cartoonists alike to express concern--through humor and art--about the impact of the abuse of science on our safety, health and environment.' A celebrity judge panel will select twelve finalists and the public will then choose the Grand Prize winner. The winner will receive a host of prizes, including $500 and an all-expenses-paid trip to have lunch with the celebrity judge of his or her choice. You can read Contest details, sample topics and the list of celebrity judges."
