Dave Heineman is Kidding
I can only figure that Governor Dave Heineman of Nebraska is kidding. First, buried on the obituary page of the Omaha World Herald on October 3, 2012, is this short article: http://www.omaha.com/article/20121002/LIVEWELL03/710039956 Here, the governor questions the findings of a college professor. That is fine. College professors question each others' findings all the time. But the governor goes on to send a nasty letter to the University of Nebraska president, wherein he essentially threatens the university with funding cuts because a college professor does what a college professor is supposed to do---publish research (well, research that does not agree with the governor's politics, I suppose). This is not the first time the governor has beat up on the University of Nebraska. A few months back, he called the NU Foundation, which helps raise money for the State's university system, a bunch of "fat cats." This is the same governor who has a tailgate party
