It's summertime, and the living is easy...well, not quite. It's been a hectic and depressing summer so far. However, I am going to be able to allow myself one weekend away from the drudgery of grant writing. You see, our Seed overlords are repeating the infamous blogger meetup that happened last…
Just following Razib, Jake, Josh, Bora and Greg (though the latter cheated, trust me). No surprises here, but your mileage may vary.
OK, so a bunch of us sciencebloggers went to New York City this weekend. This is something that we were trying to do for almost a year now. Sure, many of us Sciblings have met one-on-one on occasion, but this was an opportunity to get many of us together all in the same place at the same time, to…
I mentioned last week that I was going to be in New York the weekend of August 9, the better to commune with my fellow Borg at the Cube (no, not that cube, although I may have to make a stop there too) in Manhattan known as Seed Media Group. As part of the festivities, our benevolent overlords at…

Imagine my chagrin, I'm closer to Ron Paul than anybody else. It's what comes when you forget to ask certain questions. Or make certain assumptions. I'll blog about it later, when I get the email I've just sent myself.

Very strange. Very strange indeed. I was placed smack in the middle of the Republican candidates, closest to Mit Romney! I follow the candidates pretty closely, and have looked into their past actions and I would never have thought myself there. I certainly do not intend on voting for Mit.

I have to wonder just how they determined the candidates' positions. By their currently stated views, or by what they have done in the past.

I would have thought myself closer to Ron Paul both economically and socially, though I don't subscribe to his wacky conspiracy theories.

These charts often seem to reflect the makers more than the takers.

I'm as far right as Ron Paul and just slightly more liberal than thou. Close enough.

wait, you're kanadian! wtf are you doing taking the the quiz? those questions were amerika-centric....

To make this useful, look at single issues at a time.

I did click on all the single issues. Didn't move my score around much. I am a pretty hard core libertarian politically, personally fairly socially conservative. None of the top Repub candidates come close to my views.
