The Facts: Gay Marriage Didn't Tilt 2004 Election
President Obama’s stand today in support of gay marriage has unleashed much conversation surrounding the political impact of his statement and the effect it could have on the electoral map and election this November. And part of this discussion has repeated a myth that I have tried to dispel before and will try again. The gay marriage initiatives in 2004 on the ballot in 11 states had no discernable effect on turnout among conservatives. Yes, that’s right, none. Not even in Ohio, which was a swing state in 2004 won in a close contest by former President Bush. Today, the…

If Your Job Sucks, It Might Be Your Fault; Let’s Fix That
It's inevitable. After enough time at any job, you have a day that really sucks. Then, eventually, maybe another. And another. Suddenly the job you loved starts to feel like, well, work. And bad work at that. It doesn't have to be that way. More »
As If We Are All Born Perfect
Rejection, frustration, disappointment. We've all felt these things at some point, and hopefully, learned something from the experiences that brought them. As Philip Roberts illustrates, life would be pretty trivial and boring if we didn't mess up sometimes. What counts is that we keep trying. More »

Prof Antonino Zichichi (of anti-matter fame) is angry at climate science
You may not have heard of the World Federation of Scientists – it certainly isn’t run with a budget of millions or a professional PR team, instead it’s exactly the kind of organization that outstanding scientists would set up. No flash graphics, no spiffy logo, and no inundation of press releases. It’s only got two colours, but the people who meet and talk there range from world leaders in politic
“I’m Not Dead Yet!”: The UN’s Arms Trade Treaty Is Still a Thing
The month of July was an acrimonious one for those on opposite sides of the arms control debate. More so than usual, that is. Hosted by the United Nations, the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) Conference met this summer with the goal of producing a binding document that would regulate the legal sale of arms between states. That didn’t quite happen. But rumors of the Treaty’s death are extremely exaggerated
RNC Delegate Moves to Require Paper Ballots in Republican Party Platform, Sees Motion Gutted
I actually feel sorry for Pat Kerby, the Republican delegate to the Republican National Convention from Nevada who attempted to add an amendment calling for paper ballots --- so nobody would have to trust in the "voter machine fairy" --- at the RNC's Platform Committee on Tuesday. The poor fellow seemed to want the right thing, but by the time other members of the Committee amended the amendment,
Why Ferguson's Newsweek Blather was Even Dumber than you Realized
Most of the attention paid to Ferguson's anti-Obama Newsweek cover story has focused on his mendacious and unprofessional discussion of the administration's domestic policies -- notably its stimulus and health-care legislation.Less attention has been paid to his foreign-policy criticisms. These are not so much mendacious as the kind of thing you'd expect from a third-rate op-ed hack. Obama did

The Pathetic Vapourings of the Establishment
A number of mainstream media attacks on me today. Astonishingly, not a single one admits that Anna Ardin gave media interviews accusing Assange and put her own name in the public domain. Despite the fact I spent most of yesterday being interviewed by journalists and repeating that point over and over again. Anna Ardin herself went to the media, under her own name, as long as two years ago to pub
Banned Names
Not only have the BBC hierarchy ruled Anna Ardin’s name must not be mentioned. Also Irmeli Krans’ name is banned from the airwaves. And no, she’s not an alleged “victim” in the Assange case. I put in an official request to the BBC for an explanation as to why it was OK for the BBC to use Nafissatou Diallo’s name but not Anna Ardin’s, in identical circumstances. I have not got an answer yet, but

Exotic Detections: Wormholes and Worldships
SETI always makes us ask what human-centered assumptions we are making about extraterrestrial civilizations. When it comes to detecting an actual technology, like the starships we’ve been talking about in the last two posts, we’ve largely been forced to study concepts that fit our understanding of physics. Thus Robert Zubrin talks about how we might detect a magsail, or an antimatter engine, or a

The Ties That Bind Paul Ryan and Todd Akin
Republicans, heeding their media strategists, are trying to distance themselves from Todd Akin’s absurd comment that women cannot get pregnant from “legitimate rape.” But we shouldn’t let them get away with it. Rather than making him an outlier, Akin's comments are consistent with the words and actions of the Republican Party—including its latest darling, presumptive vice-presidential candid
How Helen Gurley Brown Sold (Out) Sex
In the wake of Helen Gurley Brown’s death last week, there have been endless evaluations of her feminism. Was she a bold predecessor of third-wave sex-positivity, whose 1962 book Sex and the Single Girl established the possibility of a sexually and financially emancipated lifestyle for women? Was she a throwback who told women that sexual harassment was fun and games, plastic surgery was a must-
