If the events of the past few days have proven anything, it is that toadying up to Clown Prince Zarnulf of Hy-Bandera is hazardous to a politician’s career prospects. The Curse of the Dummy continues to manifest itself, as the citizens of the thoroughly...
Dr. James Tour’s name should be fairly familiar to regular readers of this site. I have mentioned him a number of times before, particularly with respect to his seminal presentation about the known problems with Origin-of-Life (OoL) research. Dr. Tour is a...
I have been trying to tell just about anyone with sense enough to listen, since pretty much the middle of April, that the SANKSHUNS against those damned ROOOOOOOOSKEEES!!!, are actually useless at best and extremely counterproductive at worst. In reality, the Western...
