Bush vs bugs
An American Explorer from the Cornell univesity in Ithak - Kelly Miller and his colleague from Natural History Museum in London - Quantin Wheeler gave the names to 3 newly discovered bugs after the president, the vicepresident and the Secretary of Defence of the USA - Agathidium bushi, Agathidium cheneyi and Agathidium rumsfeldi. Wheter the names of these bugs will be used, it depends on the decision of an international committee for giving the names to animals in London. This committee doesn't agree with this idea. The discoverers wanted to show the resentment of many American scientists against Bush's administration.
