Re: Science Saturday: Cooking and Violence Edition
Exactly what I thought. Of course, Margaret Thatcher immediately comes to mind. Then there's the rise of the American female far Right: Michelle Malkin, Anne Coulter, Laura Ingraham, et al. If any of...

Re: DDT is good for me
Oh no, a DDT revisionist infecting bloggingheads! Now that's a sign of the apocalypse. Tim Lambert, one of authors of that Prospect piece, has a blog called Deltoid where he has been debunking the...

Re: Science Saturday: The More Things Change...
I'm a PhD scientist who has many times decried the poor quality of mainstream science reporting. However, the answer to this problem is certainly not to replace science journalism with blogging...

Re: Free Will: Praying for Atheists
I've always found that sort of "postmodern" agnosticism to be trite and boring. Yes, in an epistemological sense, one cannot be 100% sure that God (or a teapot circling Jupiter, to paraphrase...

Re: Welcome to the Jungle
Agreed. That's a problem in general on BHTV (although it's certainly not exclusive to it): too many journalists and not enough experts. I personally don't care what journalists/writers think. Their...

Re: the enormity of the anti Bush comments

Re: SKY HOOK ALERT!
Hmmm, that's the same language that the Discovery Institute (http://wiki.cotch.net/index.php/Wedge_document) uses. Quite telling. There's not much point in arguing with people who espouse "magical...

dump Jesus for victory in 2012
Good to see that critics of libertarianism exist somewhere in the universe.
While I agree that the current financial crisis has been a blow to their creed, I think that libertarians will remain a...
