My comment on ethics in climate science, as a comment posted at Judith Curry’s excellent Climate Etc blog. I’m late to the discussion, but here is my opinion on all this: Scientists are typically passionate about their work. There is nothing wrong with this. In fact, I support that passion. They have a desire to […]
I’ve been trying to explain it and clarify it for some Conservative friends of mine, but I’ve quite gotten to the nub concisely. Matt Taibbi said it the way I wanted, and couldn’t quite spit out.

On Friday, I did something I’ve been meaning to do for quite some time. I gave a donation to KFCF / KPFA Pacifica Radio. What, don’t you call them “Communist Radio”? Yes I do.

The poor victim of this horrible ailment – Columnist Michael Crowley. Today, at a Michelle Bachmann rally, responding to recent news that she suffers from migraines, this happened: Bachmann said 30 million Americans suffer from migraines and that “nearly 1 in 4 American households” have a migraine sufferer. “While I appreciate the concern for myself […]
We often fault the main stream media for being overtly liberal concerning both it’s reporting point of reference and it’s editing choices. Sometime the criticism is unwarranted, but sometimes there is substance to it. Yesterday, I wrote about a blogger complaining that Republicans are not talking about jobs or the economy.
