http://skepticsandpolitics.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 23, 2008. Sad, Sad, Sad, Sad. Here are some quotes. I replaced any of the foul language with a number because he would have been pissed off by that which is just the way he liked it. Scratch any cynic and you’ll find a disappointed idealist. A lot of people try to get out of jury duty by lying. You don't have to lie; tell the judge the truth. Tell him you'd make a terrific juror because you can spot guilty people [clicks his tounge] just like that! Phil Davis died". "Phil Davis? I just saw ...

Monday, February 9, 2009. Not Skeptical. Not Politics. Just Brilliant. Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance. Sunday, February 1, 2009. The War on Drugs is Stupid Reason number #368. Let me get this straight, Michael Phelps won the most olympic gold medals of anyone ever, and he did so while being a pot head. He does a drug that makes you lazy, slow, and want to eat every unhealthy thing you can get your grubby little hands on, and he STILL WON MORE GOLD MEDALS THAN ANYONE. ELSE. EVER. . So we need to avoid ...

Skeptics & Politics: Ubiquitous photography and the police
http://skepticsandpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/03/ubiquitous-photography-and-police.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. Ubiquitous photography and the police. Interesting list of cops who were caught behaving illegally. 160;in NYC by the prevalence of cameras on Carlos Miller's very well named blog. Photography is Not A Crime It is a First Amendment Right. What is interesting is the list is that all of the acts involve cops setting up citizens to take some sort of legal fall rather than just the cops doing something illegal off duty. . I cannot trust video or photographs as truthful evidence. I...

Skeptics & Politics: July 2008
http://skepticsandpolitics.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2008. Problem with.McCain's Ads. You know, I don't pay attention to John McCain's ads, although I do notice he doesn't seem to have anything to say very positive about himself. He seems to only be talking about me. You need to ask John McCain what he's for and not just what he's against," [Obama] said. Problems with this ad:. Between a Republican and a Democratic candidate, who do you think is more likely to continue letting the oil companies do what they want? 4) The biggest problem i...

Skeptics & Politics: September 2008
http://skepticsandpolitics.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2008. A Reasonable Libertarian Position. Sometimes it can come across that all I do is complain about everything without offering something positive or constructive about a solution to a current problem. Well, I'm not really going to offer something positive here myself but offer a link to. An article by Jeffery A. Miron. Who is an economist at Harvard University (not that being form Harvard makes his argument carry more weight.) . Saturday, September 27, 2008. CBS poll gives it to...

Skeptics & Politics: Norman Borlaug 1914-2009
http://skepticsandpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/09/norman-borlaug-1914-2009.html
Sunday, September 13, 2009. Whenever I give a lecture on great individuals, or people who my students think of as a hero, the usual response is family members or sports personalities. Then I give mine. I ask the class, "If someone saved the life of one person, that's a good thing right? That person would be a hero, yes? And if you managed to save, say three or four that would be better, yes? Not to diminish saving only one, but more is better, right? My hero, Norman Borlaug. Who's your hero now?

Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Two Great Things Even Better Together. I have long held that Outkast's "Hey Ya" is the best written song in the past 15 years (I might even go to 20 if you push me on it). Combine that with Peanuts - Gold, I tell you Gold! Don't worry we'll get back to writing about bleepin Bagojevich and throwin bleepin shoes soon. Friday, December 12, 2008. K&B Toys is Closing. Ush's gutting of the endangered species act.
