The competition doesn't like us. Especially me.
It might sting more if the complainer wasn't a fan of Steven Milloy and hadn't dissed the delightful Britney Spears—that automatically makes him a fundamentalist asshat.

Okay, I know most of my readers aren't gonna care at all about this, but as an inveterate watcher of pop culture disasters, something has to be said about the performance of Kevin Federline on the Teen Choice awards (yes, I actually wrote myself a note to turn it on for the last 10 minutes - even…
Most of my memories of Charles are upside down. When I was a kid, that's how he carried me around--on his back, giggling; under his arm, waving at his knees; or thrown over his shoulder, poking at his armpit. I remember him as big, gentle, and quiet, with his mouth where his eyes should've been.…
Coblogger John Sides quotes a probability calculation by Eric Lawrence that, while reasonable on a mathematical level, illustrates a sort of road-to-error-is-paved-with-good-intentions sort of attitude that bothers me, and that I see a lot of in statistics and quantitative social science.
I'll…
According to a new study published in the BMJ, the Danish are happier than people in other developed nations because they have low expectations. That's the dismal secret of happiness: not expecting very much from life in the first place.

Well, he was right about one thing: Pharyngula is HOT! (Sorry, just having a little fangirl moment here.)
asshat...asshat...asshat. I like the sound of that.
10, 9, 7, 8 ... I hope he dosn't work for NASA.
OK, once this thing gets out of beta (if it does)...
Shall we start a pool on how long it takes, on average, to get banned just for being reasonable?
Did you notice on the FAQ page, they claim they will have "world class scientists" writing and discussing issues, but apparently anybody is allowed to join and write anything about science that they want.
Sing it, Dianne!
I want to be Pharynguliscious!
I consider myself a fanboi (er, FanVeryEarlyMiddleAgedFellow) too!

"10, 9, 7, 8 ... I hope he dosn't work for NASA."
Hilarious.
I'd love to see some of his actual arguments instead of this bitter attack on scienceblogs. It seems like he's calling scientists close-minded and hoping that just makes his point.
Sorry, I haven't been a fan of Britney Spears since her stunningly intelligent comment about how "we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that, you know, and be faithful in what happens." That and her excuse that her first marriage was a "joke that went too far." Not a big fan.
asshat == mini skirt? Leading us back to Britney Spears!
I've always wondered what that term meant (:
That was too funny - I laughed so much that I almost made an asshat in my pants.
Britney's lack of musical talent, insipid lyrics, tendency to model a bubbleheaded and superficial concept of "femininity", and letting her kid sit in her lap while she drove are the items on my "unforgivable" list. O.o
Britney Spears delightful? You surprise me, PZ. I wouldn't have thought you'd have any time for someone whose name is an anagram of presbyterians.
