You may have heard that Expelled opened in Canada this week…but it's not off to a soaring start. The first reviews are coming in, and I am encouraged by the opening line of this one: "I found this film so distasteful I hestitate to dignify it with even a thumbnail review."
Also noteworthy: the…
We've said both nice things and not so nice things about Finance Committee ranking Republican on health care, Chuck Grassley (R-IA), most recently not-so-nice things. Things like calling him morally corrupt, a liar and a gold-plated hypocrite. Things like that. We know he hears us because his…
After all the pious nonsense from certain quarters blaming scientists for the Holocaust and other atrocities, it seems appropriate to take note of the Anti-Defamation League's response:

LOL, nice poll!
OT, but thank you, charley.
OT, but can we arrange some way for Pharynguloids (Pharyngulites?) to recognize each other at Richard Dawkins' talk next Wednesday evening? And are we getting together afterward somewhere? I'm flying in from Champaign and don't want to miss anything!
