Science Rules!

Over at the Union of Concerned Scientists, Bill Nye -- you know, the Science Guy? -- is flogging hybrid vehicles in the lead-up to Earth Day. As the previous post should have made clear, U.S. scientists have plenty to be concerned about these days, and the deadpan, ever-so-slightly irreverent Nye seems like the perfect ambassador for, well, ... fact-based reality as opposed to a worldview based on truthiness (for lack of a better word). With his bachelor's degree (in science) and showbiz flair, Prius-drivin' Nye is also a great pitchman for hybrid cars. So, if you already own one or are just curious, check out hybridcenter.org. Tell 'em Compass sent ya. That won't mean anything to them, but tell 'em anyway.
