I've written harshly about Congress's failure to pass a budget (see here for one such diatribe). On the Prometheus science policy blog, David Bruggeman has some harsh words as well, along with a warning for the research community: I’m afraid I can’t describe this in stark enough terms for people to act accordingly.
