>
>   "On issues from air quality to global warming, US government science is 
> being censored, manipulated, and distorted on an unprecedented scale. To 
> draw attention to this problem and have a little fun, the Union of 
> Concerned Scientists is hosting Science Idol: the Scientific Integrity 
> Editorial Cartoon Contest.
>
> "In June and July, they received hundreds of entries. In August, UCS 
> worked with four highly accomplished, award-winning cartoonists and 
> cartoon editors to narrow down the field to 12 talented finalists.
>
> "Now, all of us have the chance to vote for the 2006 Science Idol--and win 
> a 2007 'Defending Science' calendar featuring the best 12 cartoons."
