Now on ScienceBlogs: Father and Mother and Uncle John...: Tribalism and a Place at the Table
"A statement of fact cannot be insolent." The miscellaneous ramblings of a surgeon/scientist on medicine, quackery, science, pseudoscience, history, and pseudohistory (and anything else that interests him)
Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will. (Continued here, along with a DISCLAIMER that you should read before reading any medical discussions here.)
Orac's old Blog is archived at Archived Insolence.

Stupidity of this magnitude could induce a black hole of stupid that sucks all intelligence out of the galaxy.

Orac sometimes likes to slum around creationist circles for his own amusement.
