All of us, indeed, who have ever come to close quarters with theologians must have left them with an elated feeling that our sort of decency is a great deal better than theirs. For they are not, as a class, fair men, nor is there any honesty in them. To find their match in secular life recourse must be had, not to philosophers, but to politicians.
HL Mencken

I'll be on the air on radio station WDAY out of Fargo in a few minutes. After yesterday's exhibition, I expect plenty of phone calls, so don't let me down. Give me good, short, sharp questions, too!...

One of our regular commenters here, BrokenSoldier, has a story to tell — an all-too-common tale of our government's neglect of the men and women sent out to fight, and returning damaged to a bureaucracy that isn't willing to...

Yikes. As everyone seems to have noticed, their cover story this week is Lincoln vs. Darwin, an absurd premise driven by the coincidence of their common birthday, which stoops to quoting their horoscope at us. As soon as you...

We've got a couple of appalling examples of awful journalism to scowl at today. The first is this credulous piece by Gordy Slack in The Scientist. I've been unhappy with Slack before — he sometimes seems to want to let...

Why? Because we need more competent satirists....

In early February, a number of bloggers brought to your attention a peculiar paper on mitochondrial proteomics, a paper which was obviously odd on even casual inspection, containing grandiose claims of a theoretical revolution that were entirely unsupported and ludicrous...

A reader brought to my attention this outrageously dishonest mangling of a quote by that creationist, Casey Luskin. He writes: In January, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences weighed in on this debate, declaring that "[t]here is no scientific...

Good morning, anti-censorship intellectuals! Remember that story from January about Abunga Books, the online bookstore whose sole unique feature is that it claims to "empower decency" by enabling prudes to vote to censor their offerings? Now it has made ABC...

I'd almost forgotten, myself. But look, Gannon shows up in the virtual flesh at Denialism to try and defend his record. Trust me on this, Jeff. You want us to forget your sleazy softball approach to fake journalism. You aren't...

I admit it, I'm often very harsh and critical of science reporting — it's important stuff, so it's infuriating to see it done badly. Rather than my usual angry growl, though, I'll recommend this first-rate collection of constructive suggestions for...

The Great Wasteland is done. It's hit bottom. I suspect everyone has heard about Sherri Shepherd, a new co-host on a talk show for stupid women, who doesn't accept the theory of evolution and, by the way, isn't so...

A bunch of us were asked to recommend science blogs for The Scientist … now you can see the picks, too....

This is appalling. How dare a mere blogger do the research, write up a detailed account, and break an important health story before the NY Times writes it up without recognition of the source? Some will demand that the...

The managing editor of a small town newspaper in Wisconsin, Rose Eddy, is very upset with certain vicious hate groups, so she made up a list for her staff and announced that they will not be accepting ads or...

Scott* has uncovered another slick media effort by creationists: the Seventh Day Adventists are putting on a four-part series called Out of Thin Air to trumpet their fundamentalist lunacy. What I want to know is … where are the slick...
