There is a new blog you should know about. It’s called “The Worst of Scienceblogs.com” and it contains, so far, only three posts (so maybe we are not so bad after all). I thank Terra Sigillata, <\/a>one of WOS’s victims, for pointing this out.Note, by the way, that the self-described curmudgeonly Right Winger who runs this new blog (Gerald Harbison) might be an ideologically driven moron. He takes Terra Sigillata to task for quoting Martin Luther King (on MLK’s birthday-Monday, which is today). In his verbal lashing, Harbison notes: “Problem is, like most of King’s published work, including his doctoral thesis, the words are not really his.”Well, that is simply not true. Only a third of King’s doctoral thesis is thought to have been plagiarized. But, that is not really the point: Harbison also states: “King was an incurable plagiarist. Of course, merely mentioning that indisputable fact will usually get you branded a racist.”Personally, I don’t think that mentioning King’s inappropriate academic activities makes you a racist. But why do I have the feeling that Harbison is one anyway? Well, because I’ve read his other blog, I guess…Harbison also does a very annoying thing that right-wingers almost always do. He invites people to comment on his blog, almost daring one to comment, but makes it clear that comments are moderated and only certain ones will be published. This is fairly typical. I see that kind of crap on right wing moron sites all the time.Finally, I’m deeply disappointed that nothing I’ve written is mentioned yet on his site.You can find the site here,<\/a> on The Internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
