    Sounds to me like that judge is saying that the victim “wanted it”.
    He deserves to lose his position. Guys like him make me sick.

    That article on the Texas school is funny.
    Classic case of the pot and the kettle.

    We just have to wait 5 billion years….

      Well, speaking of the Texas School board and their school’s supposed bias towards Islam. It looks like many on the right are still promoting the idea that there is some kind of pro Islam bias in Texas public schools, despite the fact that the claim has been thoroughly debunked. As you can imagine World Net Daily is one of the publications promoting this nonsense.

  2. The move against antivaxers in Australia was prompted by the AMA, a move that was long overdue.

    The silence of the AMA in the US has also been deafening.

    No doubt there are some members of the AMA among Skepchick readers. Perhaps a few letters could be written to the governing body urging a similar move in the US?

    That Volcano time Bomb video is incredible! I can’t wait to watch the next full episode of Curiosity on the discovery channel.

  4. Mary,

    Also really liked that story about the eleven year old kids finding the mastodon, Sorry I didn’t get around to looking at it, until just now.
