Of course this led to threats by conservative state AG's to prosecute global warming exaggerators on the same cockamamie theory.

But they didn't make that threat into a policy to be placed into their party platform.

Limits on Stupid?

Meanwhile some powerful people are advocating prosecution of skeptics of AGW associated with think tanks and fossil fuel companies.

Read Tetlock's work. Or Future Babble written about it by a NY Times science reporter. Read John Ioannidis stuff. Most papers are flawed. The stats are bungled. p values are crap. And no one can predict the future. Or take a look at this from a Duke Medical research team which simply published fals...

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19455225/tyronn-lue-cleveland-cavaliers-says-boston-celtics-tougher-defend-golden-state-warriors He's right. The Celtics run great offensive sets. Their only problem is that they can't shoot the ball very well at the end of their plays. A team tends to lose when t...

Sad to see the name Moses Malone in this situation ... even it's Malone, Jr.

Spencer didn't want a successful athletic program. He and the board undercut Homer Smith immediately after he won the SoCon championship.

That has been the plan for some for more than 100 years and they are succeeding: The Declaration of Independence did not mention the questions of ou...

The key element here is that this was slavery on American soil, in a country nominally dedicated to the proposition that all humans are created equal. Another key element is that there were hundreds of thousands of innocent poor men and boys who died on both sides to settle the issue which rich men...

The majority of Confederate soldiers who were killed in the war owned no slaves and their families owned no slaves. In the Confederate states various accounts indicate about 20-30% (average) of families owned slaves. It's the old story of a war started by rich men and politicians from a particular p...

The dreaded "Nazi" word. Is the KKK next? Jim Crow? Eugenics?

If we hurry we can use our stupid thread to solve these issues today ... once and for all!

The ability to imagine and respect others' viewpoints is among the many priceless things I learned at Davidson. Perhaps your experience was different. I hope not. This is almost verbatim to a comment made to me by President Vagt when he disagreed with me on some issue I brought to his attention. Th...
