Gary Taubes comments on the pseudoscience behind it.

Incitement To Murder
The descent of Bruce Springsteen. I was never much of a fan.
They Want Us To Shut Up
…and we want them to keep talking. Seriously, WTF difference does it make if a majority of people want Rush Limbaugh fired? It’s not their decision to make. As long as he has listeners and sponsors, he’ll stay on the air.
Colliers
It’s coming back, after fifty-five years.
One of the many notable things it did was to introduce America to space, in collaboration with von Braun, before the Disney shorts. Maybe they’ll consider an update as part of their relaunch.
Demon Coal In Canada
The CBC comes to its senses on climate change. I hope that this is a trend.
The Russian Moon Mission
I find it hard to take seriously pronouncements of government plans to do something almost two decades from now. That’s a long time, and a lot of things can happen, both technologically and politically, to either accelerate it or put it off even further. I continue to think that the first mission back to the moon will be private, because unlike the government, there are people in that sector who actually want to do it, and they have the resources.
Radical Feminists
Shakers without the furniture.
Yes, at least the Shakers were productive.
The Double Standards Of The New York Times
So what is the message Christians should take from this? That it’s time for them to start threatening to behead people?
Who Wrote The Heartland Memo?
The preponderance of evidence indicates that it was Gleick. That’s certainly the way I’d bet. As commenters note, is this enough to justify a lawsuit?
ObamaCare
It’s going to cost almost twice as much as they said it would.
Yeah, I’m shocked too. And I still think the estimate is low.
[Update a while later]
Here’s a new post by Phil Klein on the revised CBO estimates. Of course, as we said a that time, CBO estimates are always garbage in garbage out, and a lot of garbage went into it while it was being debated.
[Update a couple minutes later]
More on the lies from Guy Benson, with a bonus mention of the growing deficits, which means that there will be another debt-ceiling fight in the fall, before the election, if not sooner. Hilarious, considering all of the lies and charades the White House went through last summer to avoid that.
