Most biologists, when writing for a lay audience, go through great pains to make complex subjects comprehensible. Gilder, by contrast, takes a subject matter that biologists have successfully taught to thousands and thousands of high school and college students and makes it sound hopelessly complex. Having softened up the reader with the technobabble equivalent of channeling the goddess Ramtha, he can then make unsubstantiated declarative statements like "intelligent design theory begins by recognizing that everywhere in nature, information is hierarchical and precedes its embodiment."

I think the investigative power the Democrats currently wield--and the threat of subpoena--is starting to get to Secretary of State Condoleeza "Ferragamos" Rice.

Hopefully, by now, the anti-Wiley blogswarm is getting geared up. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, ScienceBlogling Shelley over Retrospectacle was threatened with a lawsuit by Wiley Interscience for reproducing part of a figure and a table. My suggestion: take them out at the fucking knees. Trash their impact factor.
