Chris Bowers on MyDD recently had a post asking why the Progressive blogosphere does not like Hillary Clinton. Here's a little bit from Chris:
Now I can explain what this all has to do with Hillary Clinton. As obvious as I thought my last point was, it is probably even more obvious by now that Hillary Clinton is, um, not exactly the most popular Democrat within the blogosphere and the netroots. I can offer loads of anecdotal…

Then, when we were done, we celebrated with a brand new bottle of Croatian slivovitz, tasting just like home, courtesy of Anton's Cleveland friend. Thanks, Anton, the bottle safely made it home and is not empty yet!

clock | January 18, 2007Just finished with the Skills Sessions. About a dozen new blogs were started there. Everyone works at their own pace, so I'll give them a few days to get their feet wet before I link to them, blogroll them and ask you all to give them some commenting love! They look really promising so far!

"In what sounds like a comedy sketch from Jon Stewart's Daily Show, but isn't, the U. S. Senate would impose criminal penalties, even jail time, on grassroots causes and citizens who criticize Congress.
"Section 220 of S. 1, the lobbying reform bill currently before the Senate, would require grassroots causes, even bloggers, who communicate to 500 or more members of the public on policy matters, to register and report quarterly to Congress the same as the big K Street lobbyists. Section 220 would amend existing lobbying reporting law by creating the most…

clock | January 17, 2007My blogfather Publius is moving! Legal Fiction is over (though it appears the valuable archives will remain available). He is joining the excellent crew at Obsidian Wings - Congratulations!
And PZ is promising to reduce the volume of his blogging as he is writing a book, which we will all eagerly await. His announcement was followed by another seven posts immediately after! Self-control did not last long, I guess....

This is what I posted on February 23, 2006, about eleven months ago. As you can see, both from my post, and from the comments, the idea was to have some kind of BloggerCon devoted to science blogging, almost like a giant MeetUp where a bunch of science bloggers can get together, finally match the names (and online handles) with faces, chat and gossip, show off their work, and have lots of beer.
But, what's the point (apart from the great fun that would be)? How does one sell this idea to sponsors? It seemed that this idea was doomed for a quick death.
But then, Anton Zuiker came into the…
clock | January 17, 2007So, RPM, Razib and Chris are promoting the idea of Just Science, meaning that from Monday, February 5, till the end of Sunday, February 11, we should write only about science itself, and not about pseudoscience, quackery, religion, politics of science etc.
This is my 1864th post on this blog. Out of that, there are perhaps 4-5 debunking some kind of Creationism, and 4-5 debunking some other pseudoscience. A drop in the ocean! There is a little bit more politics (but usually not of science), and several posts on religion/atheism. Everything else is either science or "chatter", i.e., links…
