Thomas Platt, the biology professor who named a parasite Baracktrema obamai after President Barack Obama, explained that he meant it as a compliment.

"I'm the scientist who recently made news for naming a new genus and species of parasite after President Obama," Platt said, writing for The Washington Post. "Before you accuse me of being some kind of hater, racist, or worse — as plenty have — let me be clear: It was absolutely intended as an honor."

I won't be here after the election and vote.

If Hillary wins - I will be busy, BLOAT! (It won't be long before she won't let you buy.)

If Trump wins, I won't be here to GLOAT. (I don't want to hang around while everyone looks at every speck in his eye.)

He might get away with it because there are many,many good reasons they are called "Dims",but I'm betting this is a scientist that ain't NEVER getting any more goobermint research grants.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
