Remember Cocaine?

[1R-(exo,exo)]-3-(Benzoyloxy)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester Endorsed Rick Perry today. They are also know as The Texas Chemical Council, but we like the scientific name a lot better.

Senator Cornyn Tries to Bribe UT-Tyler

In a stop to tout Bush’s commitment to education *cough* Senator Box Turtle made a veiled threat to universities everywhere with this, “He pledged to help Texas universities and students gain federal grants for promoting Bush’s initiative…”
