Info on various Republican candidates

I thought about it for five minutes, and decided to participate in Chris Bowers' Google Bomb. I understand there are some pretty valid arguments against these kinds of measures. I also understand that there is very little political sway held by this blog. I suppose that doesn't make "unscrupulous" tactics OK, but given that push came to shove many years ago, I say eff it. Really though, this is just a way to alert my brother that this thing is going on.

Idiot vs. Non-idiot

I am certainly out of my element when it comes to population genetics and the relevant issues here. But it is occasionally incredibly frustrating when I encounter a piece of journalism that so grossly misinterprets scientific publications that I my jaw drops. Here it is: In the American Spectator, William tucker argues the relatively high level of divergence between ape and human Y chromosomes suggests that men supply our race with it's humanity. Over at Pharyngula, PZ Myers, takes this dingleberry down.
