Women can org@sm from exercise. The yoga thing doesn’t surprise me at all. It never happens to me. But then, I never exercise.

Derbyshire Update
Apparently, for those concerned, the prognosis is good.
Endangering The Gorillas?
It is not obvious to me that exploring and producing oil in Virunga National Park will have an adverse affect on the wildlife. If the government is responsible, the tax revenues could help pay for increased protection and security.
Fossil Fuels
What if they aren’t really “fossil” fuels? I’m skeptical on this, but maintain an open mind. If Gold is right, it’s a huge game changer, not just technologically, but politically. Of course, it will just send the carbon loons further around the bend.
It’s The Sociology, Stupid
So, apparently, I’m not skeptical about the need to wreck our economy to save the planet because many of the scientists promoting it have been shown to be frauds and hacks. No, it’s because I’m a threatened, “conservative white male.”
What would I do without professors of sociology to explain such things to me? I particularly love the “98% of scientists” line. Because, you know, science is all about majority opinion (and no, even if it was, I don’t buy the number).
Red Meat
More junk food science (not junk-food science).
People who do these studies don’t seem to understand statistics, or know how to do studies.
Complex Societies
Why they need simple laws.

Are regulations strangling the economy? Samuelson thinks so.
The East Antarctica Ice Sheet
Another nail in the socialist Doomsters’ coffin.
Derbyshire
Well, this sucks, big time. Hope he can beat it.
Don’t Know Much About History
In attacking his critics as “flat earthers,” Obama screws up.
Yes, people who, unlike him, actually understand the math and physics (and business prospects) of alternative and conventional energy are “flat earthers.” Once again, the man is impervious to irony. And how insufferable this kind of thing is.

Heh: “Obama in Tucson & today: “Make sure we talk with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds, you Flat-earthers.”
[Update a few minutes later]
Where Obama gets his history.
Doesn’t explain the Rutherford B. Hayes slander though. And against a man who was wounded four times freeing Obama’s ancestors. Wait, what?
[Update a while later]
Don’t know much about energy, either. The US has sixty times as much oil as Obama claims.
It’s almost as though he just makes stuff up.

#BarackObamasPresidentialFacts:
“Purple Hayes” was the first Jim Hendrix song about a president.
They’re hilarious. I think I’ll steal MfK’s from comments and add it to the mix.
