Complete speculation on the health of John McCain
Category: CNS Diseases and Disorders
Some people have been noticing erratic behavior from republican nominee John McCain lately. His most recent seems to be slight, but rather odd. Specifically, he appears to have developed ptosis--- a drooping eyelid--- which could of course be related to...

Charging women for their own rape kits?
Category: Politics/Policy
This is one of those things I simply can't fathom. How does a woman pretend to be pro-women and then charge other women for basic forensic services following a rape? She justifies it as necessary to cut taxes. Which begs...

"Hoosiers for the Hot Chick"
Category: Politics/Policy
McCain is bitching about supposed sexism from Democrats when this is what is being worn by Indiana delegates at the RNC? What a bunch of bullshit. By the way, ignore my previous post. That was IRONY, dammit :)...

Most. Accidentally. Inappropriate. Campaign. Photo. Ever.
Category: Politics/Policy
This is so many degrees of wrong. Start your "so this is how Palin got the job" jokes if you want, but please remember that HER DAUGHTER IS IN THE FREAKIN' PICTURE TOO YOU SICK BASTARDS....

SchadenFriday Early Edition: John McCain screws the pooch. Hard.
Category: Politics/Policy
Looks like the Straight Talk Express took a detour through Dependswhatyoumeanby"is"ville. From the NYT: Mr. Black said Mr. McCain and Ms. Iseman were friends and nothing more. But in 1999 she began showing up so frequently in his offices and...

Iowa Caucuses
Category: Politics/Policy
I make no secret that I'm pretty liberal, which means I don't generally support the Democrats (especially after spending 8 years as a NC/VA resident, since they ain't always that liberal in those parts). This year I find myself musing...

A Handy Graphic/Timeline of Gonzalez's Publication Drop
Category: Academia
Intelligent Design is a career-killer. There's just no two ways about it. And not because of how peers treat the ID supporter; they throw their own productivity under the bus, to use Casey Luskin's overworked cliche. We saw the same...

A clarification about the pending Gonzalez lawsuit, for Bad Astronomy
Category: Creationism/Intelligent Design
Phil over at Bad Astronomy has it a bit backwards, but hey it's not his fault. He didn't have to sit through that nightmare of a press conference. I still stick by my own conclusion too, that by trying to...
