A Nice Plug

Thanks to Skippy at Enjoy Every Sandwich for blowing up my ego to possibly dangerous levels with this very nice endorsement:

Anyhow, the whole point of this post is to direct you to Ed Brayton's Dispatches From the Culture Wars. Mr. Brayton's format is similar to mine in that his areas of interest tend to be broad. He writes often on topics such as reationism, judicial activism , constitutional theory, poker and stand up comedy. He writes brilliantly and debates like a gentleman. Mr. Brayton often uses his blog to challenge and debate the ideas he finds in other forums and does it without resorting to calling those he disagrees with "craven motherfuckers." In this he obviously has me beat.

On the other hand, Mr. Brayton's use of dick jokes is virtually non-existant. On this point, I win. If I only had a bigger dick to joke about, I'd feel much better.

If your intellectual curiosity isn't fufilled by my pointless ramblings (and I can't imagine it is, I know for a fact that most of you aren't drooling idiots), I heartily recommend Dispatches From the Culture Wars. Most of my more conservative readers won't agree with many of Mr. Brayon's points and, as a matter of fact, neither will my liberal readers. But you'll find it hard to argue with his points if only because he knows so much more about the issues than you do.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get to work on coming up with a few good dick jokes for my next posting.

Jim Babka, the host of the radio show I was on a few days ago, has posted a report to his blog on how the show went. It seems he thought it went pretty much the way I thought it went: Brayton, who argued that the outcome of Terri's case was correct, was well-prepared and forensically strong. I…
Each summer, the fair City of New York plays host to a cosmic convergence of bloggers within the ScienceBlogs.com corral. It's a great time to meet all the folks we know very well online, but perhaps not IRL. Moreover, we had a really nice reader meetup last year where - thank you very much - all…
For some reason, Mr. Powell just cannot let our exchange end without ducking back into the punch one last time. His latest post on it combines incessant whining with precisely the kind of arrogant presumptuousness that he accuses me of: Ed Brayton from Dispatches from the Culture Wars is a very…
The kerfuffle over the Bayblab incident has produced no end of discussion here and elsewhere. Hilariously, this included a lengthy discussion of why they see ScienceBlogs as cliquish, conducted entirely in the private back-channel forum that nobody else can read. Irony: it's like gold-y and bronze-…
