Smiling Bad?
http://www.ontheborderline.net/ ?p=5558For money, a scientist will say just about anything. He is willing to skew data, eliminate variables, weigh some variables higher or lower than they should, and throw generally accepted scientific methodologies to the wind, including critical peer review. The press will also sensationalize just about anything as well.

Telechefs, slebs, gratuitous “rudeness-theatre”, great food and Gordon Ramsay.
http://libertarianalliance.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 18/ telechefs-slebs-gratuito…David Davis A couple of weeks ago I began the long slow campaign to lambast jumped-up-chappies who can cook well, to whose heads goes the drug of celebrity-power, and who than start to influence politicians (all evil, especially at the moment) to execute pernicious and unthought-through “policies”,

And I Are On That List
http://bigcitylib.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ and-i-are-on-that-list.htmlI've already told the tale of how I weaseled my way onto the latest incarnation of the Oregon Petition in this post. It was easy. I read a couple of papers on glaciology, made up a bunch of sciency sounding nonsense in a letter I wrote Dr. Arthur Robinson, and bingo! in a couple of weeks was sent a copy of the petition, which I then signed and mailed back.

Global Sources and guaranteed date disasters
http://bsgasia.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ global-sources-and-guaranteed-date.htmlI have to admit that I was as surprised as the next man to see this article pop up in a site tracking Global Sources for me.

US Military Says It Is A Crime To Shoot The Quran, Relieves GI
http://errantmind.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 18/ us-military-says-it-is-a-crime-to…US Military Says It Is A Crime To Shoot The Quran, Relieves GI While I think it was probably not a smart thing to do, and perhaps in poor taste, I don’t see how US military commanders can call it a crime. The soldier, a sniper, was punished and reassigned to duty back in the States.

Lots of deniers
http://torydrroy.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ lots-of-deniers.htmlThere are far more deniers than the chicken littles care to admit. The science is really not settled. The Oregon petition garnered an astounding 17,800 signatures, a number all the more astounding because of the unequivocal stance that these scientists took: Not only did they dispute that there
