POINTCOUNTERPOINT VIEWPOINT Politicizing The legacy of William Simkins science Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill White is not the only threat Gov. Rick Perry faces this year. To be sure, White is the only major obstacle be- tween Perry and his quest to spend more time in office than Yoda did on the Jedi Council, but Per- ry’s real threat comes from Virginia Attorney Gen- eral Ken Cuccinelli. Throughout his candidacy and term, which be- gan in January, Cuccinelli issued a letter discourag- ing state universities from adapting anti-discrimina- tion policies that protect homosexuals, publicly stat- ed President Obama was possibly born in Kenya and announced that he is considering not giving his next child a Social Security number because “it is being used to track you.” In other words, Cuccinelli is threatening Perry’s place as the nation’s perennial panderer to the far, far right. Just as Perry uses his position to pull irrespon- sible political stunts — such as suing the EPA and re- fusing to compete for Race to the Top education funds — Cuccinelli is pulling one of his own. In early May, Cuccinelli issued a civil investigative demand, which is essentially a subpoena in this situ- ation, requiring the University of Virginia to release all “materials, data and communication” associated with several state grant applications by former UVA climate scientist Michael Mann. Mann is one of many renowned climatologists im- plicated and subsequently exonerated in last Decem- ber’s “Climategate,” when thousands of stolen e- mails between climatologists revealed imperfect re- search practices.

TV TUESDAY By Gerald Rich

Another year and another MTV Movie Awards ceremony have come and gone, leaving everyone aflutter about the best and worst of the night. Here’s a breakdown of what happened:

‘Twilight’ took the cake The 2010 MTV Movie Awards were two hours of Twi-hards (“Twilight” fans) getting their glit- tery moment in the sun. From “Best Kiss” to “Best Movie,” I felt as if Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner were being pounded into my retinas like a stupid strobe light at a crap- py dance club. Since the cameras were constantly panning to Stew- art, she had to feign most of her smiles. On a lighter note, co-stars Pattison and Stewart shared a hu- morous and awkward onstage kiss, filled with bumped heads and jerky movements.
