Will Palin Replace Steele at RNC?
The highly untrustworty rag News Max is reporting:
In the wake of Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele’s lashing out against the war in Afghanistan, CBS News Senior White House Correspondent Bill Plante is reporting a buzz in the GOP inner sanctum that Sarah Palin should replace him.
Huh.

Whither William: To wither or to write?
As promised …
William the Blogger of YNH fame should seriously consider starting a new blog (after a suitable rest period in a witness protection program).
New science blog!
It’s called “Science is Culture” and it is run by Adam Bly, who …
…. founded Seed out of a biochem lab in Montreal, where he studied cell adhesion and cancer. He now lives in New York and is the CEO of Seed Media Group.
Wait, I thought the Universe was expanding, not shrinking!
Well, it is. But the Proton “got smaller” just now. And, by “got smaller” I mean that the accepted measurement of the proton has been adjusted slightly. The new measurement for the proton’s diameter is about 0.00000000000003 mm (0.03 femtometers less than it was before. This is important:

William fooled everyone, but Chris Mooney is taking most of the blame.
… As promised …
Chris Mooney is about to explain to just posted a detailed explanation (which I have not read yet) of his interaction with the famous William the Blogger of YNH, posed as “Tom Johnson.” He’s posted Part One of an explanation of this infamous maneno, and we await Part II.

HuffPo Columnist Tries to Link Darwin to Hitler
Since its inception, the Huffington Post’s business model has been one based on providing decent political reporting and serving as a liberal news aggregate of content assembled from around the internet.
But in addition to its main news page, it has also built its success on the idea that it will let just about anyone write for them as long as they’re willing to do it for free. …

Totally Cool Music Thing with Indigo Girls
eTown is a music and community-building radio show broadcast on a number of stations across the US. Well, it’s not all music. They do a wide variety of things, including a kind of pickup-game with well known artists and not so well known, but very talented, musicians.
What I had for lunch today
There are three topics I want to blog about in the near future, but given baby duties, narcotic haze, and a few other factors I won’t get to right away. But I thought I’d tell you what they are in case you have any preliminary remarks that I might find useful. Or, perhaps you can talk me out of addressing these topics.

I am a hypocrite
I want everyone else on the Innertubes to be nice to me, but I don’t care to be nice to them unless I feel like it.

Science Blogs Updates Advertorial Policy
If you look at the Pepsi Food Frontiers Blog you will see that it now says “ADVERTORIAL” along the top of the blog. My understanding is that this is temporary and more design changes may occur, but the objective is to make this sort of blog clearly distinct from regular blogs. This is a good first step.

People should still send in their feedback on this.
