Re: He's Baaack (John McWhorter & Glenn Loury)
This is why the original episode was so embarrassing, and why that event still is, frankly, given the first part of this diavlog.
There are too many sharp knives in the bh drawer for McWhorter to...

Re: Percontations: Reality and Television
In discussing the "cult of the individual in the 21st century" I'm surprised neither of the guests mentioned the WWE and the art of the "Heel". It's the ultimate American version of the...

Re: Science Saturday: Frakkin' Edition

Re: Science Saturday: Frakkin' Edition
Regarding the Cash for Clunkers program - of course it is environmentally unwise. The CfC program is just more of the same old story: the symbiotic auto unions and auto companies figuring out a way...

Re: The Week in Blog: Bill's a Daddy!
Matt Lewis makes a good poster boy.
(Too snarky of me?)
If Matt wants to be the perpetual defender of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh etc. then let him. Those guys, the famous names, make millions...

Re: Science Saturday: Island Universes
I use "denier" wrt AGW for exactly the same reason I use "denier" to those who refuse to accept evolution. That is, they deny the science not on the merits of research and knowledge gathered, but...

Re: Science Saturday: Island Universes
