Having recently emerged from the hospital, I'm catching up on the news I've missed--beginning with the Washington Post nonsense Chris has covered here.
Apparently reporter George Will is about as informed on climate change as octuplet mom Nadya Suleman is on the fiscal responsibilities of raising children. There's not much I'll add that hasn't already been written, except given Will's influential position, his dishonesty is far more reprehensible.

M.'s latest update (see the first post for her bio) on what it is like to take the class. It is funny - I always worry I'm not providing enough reading material for people. Apparently that may not be a critical issue ;-).

I'm dwelling on George F. Will's latest violation of journalistic ethics because it seems to have hit a nerve. Journalists ordinarily too polite to attack another journalist for fear of appearing biased and unprofessional have broken with their habits to call Will on his misrepresentation of the…
I see Janet has a post series going on family + academic career. (Part 1; Part 2). I've written a bit on my own experience at the old blog (and I do mean "a bit;" it's much more of a Cliff notes version of events than Janet's), so I'm re-posting it here for another view from the trenches, so to…

Well said. I'm extremely dissapointed in the Post.
This is nothing new for the Washington Post. They have been this way for over a decade. People are just starting to notice now, that's all.
This is why Forbes listing of Fred Hiatt in their list of influential liberals was a joke.
I am extremely satisfied these days to be disconnected from the mainstream media and their mostly irrelevant hokum. I get all my news from The Daily Show.
That is the essence of the current status of information in this great land.
Your title led me here with the expectation of seeing some bizarre smack-down in a WWE video clip. Sadly, that would be more edifying than wading through George Will's fiction.
At times, George Will is insightful and intelligent. Other times he disagrees with me. Chuckle!
