RIP.
I saw him at a Reason event in LA a couple years ago. He will be missed.

Hillary’s Security Clearance Briefings

This would be evidence for “gross negligence.”

The Problems On Campus
Judith Curry’s thoughts on Michael Shermer’s thoughts:
Beyond Georgia Tech, I have visited many campuses over the past several years, and I was invited to talk in most instances to present an alternative perspective on climate change. One of the universities was Oberlin, which featured prominently in Shermer’s article. There is a club of young republicans and libertarians, which receives contributions from a donor to invite speakers on a range of topics to add diversity. Apparently I was sufficiently tame or insufficiently known to have instigated much of a backlash.
Apart from the social issues that are of primary concern in Shermer’s article, I am particularly concerned about all this promoting groupthink in terms of actual research in the social and natural sciences. I don’t see a near term solution, but I think that heterodox academy.org and the blogosphere are making a difference.
It’s an ongoing battle for freedom.

Goody.
A Feminist Picnic
…falls apart when no one is willing to make samwiches.
Maybe they’ve just realized that people should go paleo.
OK, probably not.

Punishing Climate-Change Skeptics
In which my lawsuit (though not me personally) is discussed by my lawyers, in today’s WSJ. It’s now about sixteen months since we argued before the DC appellate court, with no ruling.
