rone | welcome to science weekend

Via iayork, an interview with Judge John E. Jones III, who presided over the Kitzmiller et al. v. Dover Area School District case, and whose judgement was a thorough and scathing indictment of Intelligent Design. mmcirvin does this much better than i do. If i were king, i'd swap out Scalia from the Supreme Court for Jones right now.
Via wolffire, an article about Biodynamics; i was under the impression that it was merely an alternative version of organic farming. I was stunned to find out just how insanely ludicrous it actually is. Needless to say, when i run a vineyard, i will not be calling any of these clowns for certification.
Via someone i can't recall, climate scientists correct data that indicated that the oceans were cooling. This is a clinic in how science works. Feel free to print this out, roll it up, and whack the next global warming denier across the nose with it.
