“There is a cardiologist currently being sued by a device manufacturer, we have researchers who have been unable to publish their critique of lie detector technology because of threats of libel action.”
Eh.
(Unless it’s BBC’s sinister plot to take over the world on the April Fool’s day or something. In which case D: D: D:(1))
(1) I’m paranoid after this morning’s news about creepy right-wingers turned out to be a joke. BUT! IT WAS ALL SO PLAUSIBLE IT REALLY WAS.
1. As it turns out, both my landlady and the new housemate are atheists! The housemate came out after I said I was studying Sumerian stuff. She started a monologue about LOL!Bible, which was riddled with tiny little inaccuracies.
I managed not to engage in a megalomaniacal monologue myself. These days, I try to show a little bit of restraint, and only do this in the privacy of my room.
But, to those who happened to read this blog, and read there. (If any) I apologize for my profanity. I should not have wrote it. I just get so angry when I see Socialist Liberals mocking a party that has done more good, than the Democratic Party has ever done. Further more, a party that still fights for America. Unlike the Terrorist appeasing Liberal Democrats.
5. Meanwhile, the veterans in the UK tell the BNP to kindly fuck off and leave the military alone. Why yes, this is what they mean by “The BNP are, quite honestly, a very unattractive group” *snerk*. But wait!
“The values of these extremists – many of whom are essentially racist – are fundamentally at odds with the values of the modern British military, such as tolerance and fairness.”
This is a good week for veterans!
6. This is also a good week for vaccines! Wired spanks the anti-vaccine movement thus:
One of the most remarkable features of science is that it often leads its practitioners to change their minds and to say “I was wrong.”
Hah!
8. Meanwhile, in real life, an awesome trans woman doctor, Marci Bower, is helping the victims of female genital mutilation (FGM) by doing “clitoralplasty” FOR FREE.
Fact: Marci Bower is so totally badass.
9. I watched this vid, because Dan linked it. I don’t know what other people saw, but what I saw was this:
Swine flu has been good for woo and woomeisters, who always profit when a new terrible disease spreads,provided there are people who feel helpless and afraid, and provided the ruthless blood-thirsty quacks ready to exploit their feelings of hopelessness and fear for monetary gain, and the satisfaction of doing something evil, again lie in wait in the general vicinity, which they always do. They’re like vultures in a way, minus the cool talons and awesome beaks.
