Stephen Colbert skewers as per usual...
Edwards aside, this is an excellent look at the current political landscape in the USA:
Yeah, there's little I like better than some sweet snarky skewered Libertarianism. Of course, if you don't like it, you could always go complain in the comments over there.

as a neurologist, I find it hard to believe that rocket scientists can be more arrogant than brain surgeons.

As a former aerospace engineer who has done some rocket research, I'm not more arrogant .... unless it is Dr. Egnor. (though I do find dealing with multi-varible nonlinear second order differential equations fun and entertaining, but that is just me)

But that is because I have fun reading what a neurologist's comments on Dr. Egnor's writings:

As and aside, I recently listened to all of Dr. Mark Crislip's podcasts. In one of them he takes a dig at neurosurgeons. I don't remember which one in particular, but all of his quackcasts are entertaining:

I really need to proofread better. My excuse is I engineer, I no like grammar or spelling.
