Orange Meanie: Will the last scientist out please turn off the lights? Orange Meanie: Although...electricty requires science...so... Orange Meanie: If the last scientist out could piss on the campfire, that'd be great.

NEW COMIC TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

The Trump administration's War on Science is bad enough that it's a title, like War of the Roses. They just let most of the advisers at the EPA go and now the last Obama-era employees hanging on at the science division of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy are gone. Trump doesn't have a science adviser at all (and maybe he shouldn't). It's probably for the best since the scientists in the running for the job are both deniers of climate change.

I keep picturing the Trump White House—a building I know almost nothing about except for what I've seen on TV and movies—as empty, with doors ajar to hollow offices, twisted wire hanging where pictures used to be, scuff marks along the walls where carts full of stuff being removed have banged, water stains on the ceilings. Echoing of hammers as somewhere someone begins the inevitable removal of the copper pipes to sell for scrap.
