Thank you Clive & Cannuckian.

Here’s another one which the Washington Post apparently put above the fold in today’s edition.

Note the bias as the story begins “It began with an anonymous Internet posting, and a link to a wonky set of e-mails and files. Stolen, apparently, from a research center in Britain . . .”

Now, I don’t know if you are old enough to remember but do you think the WaPo would ever describe the Pentagon Papers as “top secret documents stolen from the Department of Defense”?

Times change.

Yes, thanks tribune7

I wonder if M and M have found it any warmer in Canada recently. I suspect they get a cold reception there too.

Off topic, a possibility where politics, business and national policy intertwine in a disturing and rude way:

The ID community has done a great job at exposing how the leftest-atheist agenda stains the scientific community in the areas of evolution and origins. (although to be fair, thanks must go to the likes of Dawkins and PZ for making this task so easy )

I’m curious if there’re links between the leftest-atheist ideology and the scientists at the heart of climategate.

Michael-”Hide the Decline”-Mann has written that Carl Sagan is a hero of his. And Sagan often appeared driven by ideology, not science, in getting his materialistic worldview across.

Any stronger links?

Wow, Monkton and Murphy were great. But what is the chance that scientists involved in evolution research and climate research are the only tainted ones?

I hope, long, wait, and pray for the day when the cancer-pharmaceutical industries are likewise exposed.

Jon Stewart, although left of center, is kind of like Michael Shermer. You could probably go out and have a drink with him, and while finding much to disagree about, still be respectful and friends at the end of the day. I don’t know Stewart’s actual views on global warming but he’s probably not an “activist” of any kind. On the other hand, it might be diffcult to shoot a game of pool with Richard Dawkins or PZ without a fight breaking out. I am sure we all have friends like that.
