Removing the shackles

Colby’s moved to his own domain and host, so go pay him a visit at his new place.

Church Deacon, OU Fan Tears Scrotum Of UT Fan In Bar Fight

Shorter PETA: We are incensed by the fact that environmentalists are not making our completely unrealistic ideas the centerpiece of the campaign to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Science by ideology

I’ve argued here and other places for the reality of anthropogenic global warming. I don’t do it a lot, mainly because it doesn’t seem to do any good.
