Narciso- decency has nothing to do with it.

And on the Diebold issue, stay tuned for tomorrow’s post.

Thank you, David, for the bravery to resist the path of the Crichton praise-lemmings .

If there were any lessons to be learned from the past 8 years, it’s one of the importance of accountability. Using one’s celebrity status to undermine the scientific majority is not something that can be ignored, considering what’s ultimately at stake.

Really David, is that a decent thing to do, at this time. Or has decency lost its place since Nov 4th. What happened to the Diebold machines, the inevitable riots referenced by Erica Jong, the inevitable round of BDS, World Can’t Wait

I think what was even worse than him becoming a self-declared expert on global warming was the way he treated Crowley, a critic of his novel. It was petty, nasty and completely deplorable.
