Somethings happening here

Remnants are, however, to be found on the Wayback Machine and I’m going to use those to recreate some of the material going back to January ’04 in an effort to give it more permanence. I’m going to have to do this manually, but that will enable me to just concentrate on the science and anti-science material, though I will still repost some political material as needed.
