Yeah, lets keep the debate courteous, but it is in the comments that it gets really nasty.
Murdering, Lying, Thieving, Rat-F*** Republican Pieces of Sub-Amphibian Sh**…
…mendacious, death-loving, frothing, lamprey-mouthed, inhuman, abominable, atrocious, verminous, rapacious, sadistic, bullying, invasive, grasping, psychopathic, twisted, warped, animalistic, belly-crawling, mouth-breathing, illiterate, innumerate, know-nothing, imbecilic, sheep-raping, horror movie extras masturbating into wads of [...]

DeSmog understanding of the issues
Have you had a look around at DeSmogBlog? The crowd crowing about and disseminating the fakegate documents? Peter Gleicks chief cheerleaders.
The following is a comment I made to a posting on the matter at Samizdata:
Part of the issue is that DeSmogBlog contributors, or at the very least one of them, demonstrably don’t understand the issues [...]
A new recruit
Cristina, welcome to the battle.
I don’t share your faith, but we all share your concerns.
Was “The Cruel Sea” really socialist propaganda?
This is a genuine question - in that I do not know the answer (and would like to know). I only know “The Cruel Sea” from the film (about the Royal Navy against the German “U Boats” in the North Atlantic during World War II) so I do not know what the book (or whatever) [...]
What’s Wrong with Mitt…
Unlike my piece on Rick I’m going to focus here not on what I think but what I think the Republicans think…
He looks presidential: nice teeth, great hair (with those statesmen-like flashes of grey at the temples).
I don’t for the life of me understand why he isn’t romping it. The man has succeeded at [...]
WTF?
My dad recently took out a subscription to Time. Well, I suppose someone has to. I’m not sure if they do a European edition or what, but the one he’s been getting seems to be from Bizarro-World.
Last week’s described Rick “I am not a Libertarian, people shouldn’t be left alone” Santorum as a “Goldwater-style conservative”. [...]
Such Things As Communism Could only Dream of…
Cats seems to think this is sinister. It ain’t got nothing on this though. It’s a long article but well worth reading in full. I’m excerpting bits to give the flavour.
On the surface, Shustorovich’s project is a public-spirited attempt to bring Russia’s education system into the digital era. In the 2010-11 academic year, around 300 [...]
Honesty and Integrity in the Mainstream Media
Gleick makes his exit after days of ferocious debate about his tactics in exposing Heartland, a rightwing think tank with a core mission of spreading disinformation about climate change
Suzanne Goldenberg, US Climate Correspondent, Guardian
Exposing Heartland? A core mission of spreading disinformation?
The woman is one of - embarrassingly ignorant, knowingly a propagandist, or she is [...]
What’s Really Wrong with Rick.
Rick Santorum in his own words.
On libertarianism…
In an NPR interview in the summer of 2005, Santorum discussed what he called the “libertarianish right,” saying “they have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and [...]
Friday civilisation
René Descartes was sitting in a bar, staring morosely into his empty glass; the waiter approached and asked if the Monsieur would care for another drink. Descartes replied “I think not”, and disappeared.
Cat Piss Curtains
No the title of this is not a reference to some new, amusingly named (and therefore awful to drink) wine. Read on to know more.
Where I live there are a lot of cats and it’s very middle class - just up the road there’s some huge gaffs - some gorgeous and some footballer-style “monster cottages”*. [...]
Musical Journalism.
This is one for RAB.
It is an ever growing idée fixe of mine that The Telegraph is going rapidly downhill.
I don’t mean in editorial PoV but in terms of quality of writing.
This deranged piece is shocking. It is essentially a piece of alleged music journalism by someone who clearly has no idea. Apart from anything [...]
Vat Burger
Well, there finally seems to be a head of steam behind artificial meat. Time indeed will tell if this is economic nonsense - certainly they’ll have to do an unprecedented number on getting production costs down because this stuff ain’t exactly going to be competing with a bit of genuine Aberdeen Angus any time soonish. [...]
Bleg
Right, I want information.
I have been presented with a requirement. I need to be able to drive a circular array of twenty hi def screens, each screen being a segment of a single 360 degree panoramic video display.
A level of redundancy would be useful. If there were some way to set up failover from one [...]
