The Scientific Scandal of the Millennium
A new release of private scientific correspondence reveals an astonishing conspiracy to manipulate and suppress evidence by top researchers in the field of Newtonian physics: Newtongate: the final nail in the coffin of Renaissance and Enlightenment ‘thinking’.
If you own any shares in companies that produce reflecting telescopes, use differential and integral calculus, or rely on the laws of motion, I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the calculus myth has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after volumes of Newton’s private correspondence were compiled and published.
When you read some of these letters, you realise just why Newton and his collaborators might have preferred to keep them confidential. This scandal could well be the biggest in Renaissance science. These alleged letters – supposedly exchanged by some of the most prominent scientists behind really hard math lessons – suggest:
Conspiracy, collusion in covering up the truth, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.
But perhaps the most damaging revelations are those concerning the way these math nerd scientists may variously have manipulated or suppressed evidence to support their cause.
I'm interested, Gus802, why the down ding to my post (#118) about George Monbiot calling for the resignation of Phil Jones? Was I not reporting the facts? Or are they simply facts you don't like? Or are you simply hoping...Onion: Boy Finds Own E.T.
“Today Now!” is one of the Onion’s more brutal media parody shows, and this is one of their more brutal episodes.
I finally put my finger on what makes the video so vile. Riddle me this: what's the difference between the Onion skit and the average Bernie Madoff joke? Both revolve around a pretty traumatic misfortune. Both poke fun at the...Missouri GOP Calls for Revolution
Missouri’s Lafayette County Republican Central Committee has put up a billboard proudly advising citizens to prepare for the violent overthrow of the US government: Lafayette County Politics: New I-70 billboard replaces famed OBAMANATION sign. Reads: Vote Out Incumbents. Live Free or Die!

More billboard bad craziness:
And an oldie but not a goodie from 2008:
(Hat tip: LGF readers.)
I basically agree with you, although given that Senator Voinovich (a Republican) also blamed the GOP's problems on the south, I can't say that it's just liberals who see the south as being to blame. Nor can we deny that...Dems Get Votes Needed to Begin Health Care Debate
An interesting development in the health care reform battle, as the Democrats get the 60 votes they need to begin the debate after Thanksgiving: Sen. Blanche Lincoln also on board, 60 in hand.
Sen. Blanche Lincoln is a yes for debating health reform, but a no for the public option, and she and fellow centrists are making clear they expect Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to scrap his current plan for a government-run insurance program.
Lincoln (D-Ark.) announced Saturday that she’d deliver the deciding vote to push forward with a sweeping health reform plan, ending days of speculation over whether President Barack Obama’s signature priority would proceed to the Senate floor or suffer a debilitating blow.
I'm likely just talking to myself now, but via Ezra Klein here is a summary of the healthcare bill:re: #85 bunnymud What if you work for a company that doesn't provide health insurance and you get sick?
