That Evil Mr Vaccine. Doesn’t he understand that if there is no polio or smallpox making bad children suffer, the good children won’t have anything to gloat about?

It was looking good up to the last panel
You should all be reading Scenes From a Multiverse. It’s a webcomic that’s totally unbelievable. See? Right there at the end? That never happens. A priest being self-aware? Ridiculous!

Belief in Evolutionary Psychology May Be Hardwired, Study Says
[It's been a while since I've revived an old Pharyngula-safe post from my old blog, and it seemed like we have the appropriate theme going here today.] Biologists have long assumed that evolutionary psychology, a controversial branch of psychology that ascribes many common social behaviors to genetics, is a muddled blend of half-understood evolutionary biology, selective data …

Hey! Hey now!
I just got off work, thought I’d post something about that new cool comic from The Oatmeal, and discover that Clarke beat me to it. On my own blog! Oh, well, it’s worth mentioning twice, and I’ll just highlight a different panel from it. This is how I feel about youtube comments:

We dodged a bullet when Minnesota defeated the anti-gay marriage amendment
Because otherwise I’d have to lock up my wife. CollegeHumor’s Favorite Funny Videos So that’s what they meant when they said gay marriage was a threat to my marriage — only they got it backwards. I do feel some concern for my gay friends, though. It must be hard to live up to that stereotype …

Insult, abuse, slur, calumny, defamation, disparagement
Isn’t it amazing how you can turn anything into an insult by assigning it to a woman? I had no idea synonyms were so odious. Oglaf goes even more over the top in a panel not shown here…it’s definitely not safe for work. (Also, don’t click on “Prev Story” unless you want to see another …

What? You can just get a blog post published in a journal?
Especially a paper about scientific fraud that uses this clever figure? (It’s short and openly accessible, go ahead and read it.) I’m envious. But then, it is a pretty good summary of the kinds of wickedness some scientists are up to. I’d have to put a few of the scientists in the ENCODE consortium in …

And the 2016 presidential campaign begins…NOW
The Republicans are always better organized than the Democrats, and they have already identified a clear front runner. We will now spend four years moaning about the extra-special awfulness of the Republican candidate, pretending that a horrible half of the electorate doesn’t exist, and finally nominating someone notable mainly for their bureaucratic ability to blend …

So “Gay Power” was meant literally?
You knew this was inevitable: Hurricane Sandy is blamed on New York’s gay marriage legislation by Rabbi Noson Leiter, and on the choice of two pro-homosexual candidates for the presidency by pastor John McTernan (oh, come on, does anyone really believe Romney will be good for gays? Maybe rich ones.) Only Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal …

Ah, but that’s the Republican interpretation of the New Testament
And of course the deity has the same sick twist to it all.
