funny how they discover this now right before their funding runs dry huh?

I'm thinking: "We in the US want to be able to run our OWN experiments, on US soil...and not have to go to ladee-daa-dee Europe and wait in line to have a go at the LHC... let's make something up to keep funding!"

I was going to say the same thing. The timing of their discovery is just too convenient.
