Bjorn Lomborg joins Patrick Michaels in criticising The Day After Tomorrow and those who are using the movie’s premise to affect public policy. Expect an attack on Lomborg’s funding and other suspicious connections by Media Matters at any moment.

I don’t care if doctors determine that low-carb diets will let me live until I’m 300, I will NOT EVER buy a low-carb Krispy Kreme. Note I wrote “buy.” If I’m in a store when the hot light is on and the smiling person behind the doughnut case hands me a hot, sticky just-fried sample, […]
Laura Kipnis wrote this about Media Matters founder and ex-conservative David Brock:
So, what to make of his new role, once again flinging accusations at those loathed former accusers—including, incidentally, at another showy and annoying political apostate, David Horowitz, himself a frequent and acerbic critic of Brock’s? Is there a political—or perhaps psychopolitical—lesson in all this? […]

Has Oliver Willis or anyone at Media Matters even read any of Patrick Michaels’ books on climate change? For a guy who’s supposedly in bed with energy companies Michaels doesn’t discount man-made climate change. Here are two passages from Michaels’ and Robert Balling, Jr.’s (presumably another lackey of the “Trash the Earth” lobby) book The […]
While President Clinton used empathy (”I feel your pain”) to connect with people, President Bush used his confident moral purpose with some of Saddam’s terror victims–remember, the bad guy who ordered much more abuse in Abu Ghraib than some U.S. troops ever did.

Esteemed Islam scholar Bernard Lewis offered some wise words in a speech in Chicago Tuesday. Neil Steinberg was there and reported:
You might think George W. Bush is an idiot — everyone seems to nowadays. But Bernard Lewis sure isn’t an idiot. He’s perhaps the most eminent Islamic scholar alive. I caught his speech Tuesday, and […]
It hasn’t even been a full news cycle and there’s criticism that John Ashcroft’s and Robert Mueller’s news conference was an overreaction. If there are no U.S. attacks in the next few months, the Bush bashers will complain the administration used the threat of terrorism as an election weapon.

In the next month, President Bush will be traveling a lot. Besides all the campaign stops he’ll make he’ll go to France and Italy to for the 60th anniversary of D-Day, he’ll head to Turkey for a NATO meeting, and he’ll go to Georgia for the G-8 summit. At the overseas visits there should be […]
I met Jay McCarthy at BloggerCon I last fall. He’s very smart and very inquisitive–the two usually go hand in hand. Tragedy struck him and his family when his home caught fire. No one got hurt, but the house will have to be rebuilt. Wish Jay and his family well, and say a little prayer […]
What a pleasant surprise to fine two Wisconsin current events webloggers. Dan Ray Barrington is a news editor and columnist for the Green Bay News Chronicle. He posts on Live Journal so most of his writings are diary-type entries. He did have the good sense to link to TAM.
Then the too good (because there’s too […]
British modern art was destroyed in a blaze of glory. Brian Micklethwait is correct that modern art connoisseurs shouldn’t weep for the pieces weren’t “lost.” The fire “merely moved some objects from one state of being to another.” There’s enough material here to fill one or two Ph.D. dissertations.

Hooray! Laurence hosts this week’s Bonfire of the Vanities. Through that I discovered Interested-Participant’s post on naked roller coaster riders. I just hope they really hosed things down after the riders were finished.
