Well, this is some kind of switcheroo!
Revere (or reveres) of Effect Measure has/have closed the doors. One of the best science/medicine blogs ever. One of those I point to when people snidely say that blogs can't be trusted because they are all opinion and no substance. They can't repeat that once they see Effect Measure.
But Revere(s) is/are not totally gone from the blogosphere. This is a smooth transition - from a single-person (or so we think) blog to a group blog to which Revere(s) sometimes contribute(s) - The Pump Handle. See the archives here and go say Hello at the new place here. Welcome Liz and Celeste (and yes, occasionally Revere) to the Borg!

Ok, first the Swine Flu (there's some actual astro and other stuff below):
If the Reveres fished, they'd put up a sign that says, "Gone fishin'". But we don't fish, so that wouldn't be true. By now everyone probably knows the Reveres are at the beach, allegedly on vacation.
By now, you might have heard that politicovangelist possible presidential candidate Sarah Palin has been burbling inanities about Paul Revere, including this doozy:
The person who taps the keys here over the signature "revere" (or sometimes "Revere"; it's at most one at a time) is not Paul Revere. The real Paul Revere died in 1818. If you want to know the name or names of any of the key tappers here I'm going to disappoint you right away.
