Altering the Data, Manufacturing the Increase

Posted: 08 Dec 2009 08:08 AM PST

In science, data matters more than anything else. Data allow others to examine and replicate your experiments and to check your work. Data give you a secure foundation from which to rebuild your work if it is lost or goes awry. An unimpeachable data source is the heart of any scientific endeavor. When we read [...]

EPA Declares Air Dangerous; Sets the Table for Theft.

Posted: 07 Dec 2009 07:39 PM PST

Oh, who needed the whole democracy thing anyhow? The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering people's health and must be regulated, signaling that the Obama administration is prepared to contain global warming without congressional action if necessary. … Under a Supreme Court ruling, the so-called endangerment finding is needed before the EPA can regulate [...]

Obama and Palin, Like Two Ships Whose Poll Numbers Pass in the Night

I’m so glad that’s settled. An internal investigation of the community-organizing group ACORN found no pattern of intentional, illegal conduct by ACORN staffers on undercover videos shot by conservative critics of the group. In a 47-page assessment that former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger was commissioned by the organization to do, he criticized ACORN’s management as not [...]

Transparency, Apparently, is for Chumps

This administration makes my head hurt. The Obama administration conducted a workshop on government openness for federal employees behind closed doors Monday, a private training session for freedom-of-information officials to learn about a new U.S. office that settle disputes between the bureaucracy and the public. The decision to preclude the public and the media from attending Monday’s [...]
