		<description><![CDATA[I see from the news that our armed forces have had another bad encounter with dead combatants, this latest kerfluffle stemming from photos taken as military forces pose with blown-up suicide bombers. We end up with another round of apologies, the folks who are supposed to be our allies moving closer to our declared enemies, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An op-ed piece by Mike Deering, the National Cattlemen&#8217;s Beef Association Director of Communications, lays out an argument to let ranchers handle conservation of the sage grouse without involving the protection of the Endangered Species Act: The wackos – as I still prefer to call them – have successfully weaseled their way to the front [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time&#8217;s web page has an article up by Jeffrey Kluger. Kluger is a lawyer and relates his reaction to the briefs filed in the case of David Coppedge v. Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech. Groups like the intelligent design community are not always free to pick their poster children, and it&#8217;s unfortunate for them that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ran across a link to a blog post from 2007 by Jeff Shallit. One of the commenters there took exception to Jeff&#8217;s statement that the KvD case was primarily about religion, noting that a lot of the decision in the case discusses science. I was five years late to the party, but I felt [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The editors of the Tulsa World think that Lawmakers should adopt stronger wildlife laws. That&#8217;s fair enough in light of the tragedy in Ohio where exotic predators like lions, tigers, and bears were released by a suicidal keeper. But the editorial&#8217;s structure left much to be desired, in my opinion. They do have a good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve known for a long time that Casey Luskin has some very odd ideas about what constitutes a technical publication. Casey&#8217;s been good enough to document another deficiency of his in this respect for all to see, but no one is allowed to comment. (I wonder what happened to the Discovery Institute&#8217;s grand experiment in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the Terry Pratchett novel &#8220;Witches Abroad&#8221;, he sets up an image of &#8220;the optimist&#8217;s fire&#8221;, which he then defines as &#8220;two logs and hope&#8221;. I bring this up because I&#8217;m seeing people who desperately want to be seen as hard-nosed and fiscally responsible proposing the optimist&#8217;s economic booster: tax cuts and hope. Cutting taxes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in 1990, Clayton Williams, Jr. was in the news a lot as he ran for governor in Texas. His campaign famously imploded over insensitive good-ol&#8217;-boy comments made to a weekend gathering of media. He was rich, but there didn&#8217;t seem to be much else to recommend him. I always thought it odd to go [...]]]></description>

A young woman is the plaintiff, and is seeking several months of unpaid rent from a young man who shared an apartment with her. The young man is deeply confused about the concept of government aid for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Casey Luskin has an unenviable track record. Pretty much anytime Casey gets going, you can count on him to shoot himself in the foot someway, somehow. Yesterday evening&#8217;s blog post by Casey is no exception. So if Casey has done it again, why would I give the title I have? Well, because of the way [...]]]></description>
