WaPo Notices Warming Leak
Kudos to them for gritting their teeth and reporting on a story that must have rubbed most of the newsroon the wrong way. This quote really says it all: “I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report,” Jones writes. “Kevin and I will keep them out ...

Health Care Monstrosity Barely Gets Into Debate
60-39. This appears to be a good sign. They may not be able to pass anything. The problems with this bill are legion. Let’s cover a few: 1) This will explode the deficit by trillions of dollars. The Medicare cuts are a three-card monte political ploy; they will never be upheld by ...

Hacker or Whistleblower?
Over at CV, Eric Scheie has an Examiner story noting that whoever released the CRU global warming emails didn’t act like a hacker and probably exposed criminal activity.

An Hour at TT’s with Stefi and Aziz in Madison
Yesterday for the first time ever I got to meet face to face another Dean’s World contributing editor and commenter. Aziz Poonawalla. I have to admit that he’s the first because he is easiest to locate around my little part of the world. He lives in nearby Verona, Wisconsin and he ...

Candidate Palin
I have been consistently and persistently amazed for much of the last year over the fact that so many people seem to think Sarah Palin is not running for President. It’s seemed transparently obvious to me since the day she resigned the Governor’s office that she was throwing her ...

A look at men’s groups vs. feminism at Forbes
Cathy Young addresses the issues of men’s groups, domestic violence, and feminism at Forbes: Earlier this month DoubleX, Slate’s short-lived female-oriented publication (launched six months ago and about to be folded back into the parent site as a women’s section), ran an ...

The Global Warming Conspiracy
No, really. The mask has slipped, fallen, and shattered: This is part of a letter send from Michael E. Mann to Phil Jones: I think we have to stop considering “Climate Research” as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate ...

ObamaCare Deep Underwater
Is this what it sounds like when magical gov’t healthcare ponies die? Quinnipiac 36-51 . PPP 42-50 . The claims that America spends more for worse health care are crumbling under closer examination ; people aren’t being fooled anymore by misleading comparisons of things that ...

Dipping Toe Into Water
I think I’m back. I think. Also, the heck with it, we keep the title, I can’t come up with anything better for now. If and when I do, I’ll let you know.

The Increasingly Unpopular Barack Obama
He’s under 50% in the latest Quinnipiac poll. He’d also be under 50% in the ABC and CBS polls, but as Ed Morissey notes they are inexplicably re-weighting more and more Dems into these polls , such that even as Gallup shows the party gap closing to zero they are at +13/+14% Dems. ...

Tell Me Something I Don’t Know
Unsurprising: Another study shows Fox News has the most balanced news coverage . The CMPA study compares ABC, CBS ( CBS – news – people ) and NBC evening news shows and the first half hour of Fox News Channel’s Special Report, which most closely resembles its broadcast news ...

Heroes of the Blue Sky Rebellion – a book review
When you’ve got a boy of your own, you notice this more, of course, but for at least three decades that I know of it has been somehow “not good enough” to be a boy in modern society. My own son was born in 1978, at a time when I considered myself a feminist, was a charter subscriber to MS ...

Today’s Thought
Could the platform of the pro-choice movement also be ammunition to defeat ObamaCare? Think about it: Isn’t the main pushing point of the pro-choice movement to keep government out of the business of telling a woman what to do with her body? “Keep your laws off my body,” the ...

She Can Do No Right
To her detractors anyway. Sarah Palin’s autobiography Going Rouge has been released and it would appear that one of the criticisms of it, and her, is that she doesn’t show enough gratitude to the McCain campaign. John Podhoretz addresses this criticism succinctly: The thing is, ...

Sky is blue!
I hosted some Chinese engineers this week (the old “train your replacements” routine). So I’ve barely kept up with events, as my time on the internets was limited. But I got the visitors on a plane this afternoon, and now I’m trying to get caught up, and back to normal. Or to whatever passes ...

Wait. What?
Liberal blog and staunch Hilliary Clinton supporter, HillBuzz, has something startling to say : If you have been reading us for any length of time, you know that we used to make fun of “Dubya” nearly every day…parroting the same comedic bits we heard in our Democrat circles, where Bush is ...
