Everybody welcome Mark Hoofnagle and Chris Hoofnagle (probably not their real names) of Denialism who are here to spread more of the commonly accepted lies about the truth of evolution, the Big Bang, gravity, 2+2=4, etc., that we in the scientific establishment spend so much time trying to pull as wool over the eyes of the unwashed masses.

A couple of posts are up already, and allow me to recommend A Unified Theory of the Crank. Anybody with a moderately popular science blog has seem some of these. Cosmic Variance, indeed, has a whole posse of cranks who follow them around. The American Astronomical Society even had a crank presenter this last January. Check it out; their post has a number of phenomenological features of the crank that many of us in science have casually observed.
