From the Washington Post comes the type of three examples and an anecdote reporting I can live with.
Way back in June three nonsequential children visited a Washinton, D.C. area doctor, with complaints of “suffering from headaches for two or three days”.
Upon further investigation the doctor learned that the independent variable in all this was the [...]

I dare anyone to make sense of this

I found this paper while researching for my term paper in CogSci 100.
It is titled:
Neurological dysfunctions versus regional infarction volume after focal ischemia in Mongolian gerbils.
Modern science at its most relevent.

Howard Dean for Halloween!
October 29th, 2003 No Comments
In hopes of advancing some diversity of topic around here, I’m calling a moratorium on Dean posts after this one.
I do reserve the right to be horribly hypocritical should a matter of pressing Dean-related importance arise.
On that note, I finally have my costume for Halloween this year.
That’s right, with this mask, some medical scrubs and [...]

Final thoughts on Dean and Halliburton
October 29th, 2003 1 Comment
It appears that Robert Tagorda and I have pretty well converged on the end of this issue. Everyone should go read his comment below, and maybe other people could comment as well. That’s what the commenting function is for, after all.
Mr. Tagorda agrees that Crandall’s donation is pretty well a non-issue, and that [...]

Maybe they should rethink the name?

Seems like those only-works-two-days DVD’s, which they call EZ-D’s, are proving to be a tough sale.
Customers aren’t interested in paying more than $6 for a limited-play DVD when they can pay $2 at the video store. Even with a $2 late fee, it’s cheaper than buying a disposable DVD, Tow said.
Here’s a slogan for [...]

Dean is a friend of Dean

I was almost gonna compliment Glenn Reynolds on holding back over Tagorda’s post on Howard Dean, but then I scrolled up to where he resurrects that old meme:
Which elder Democrat is Dean most like?
Carter
McGovern
Mondale
The answer is, of course the same as it was succinctly put by Roger Simon a couple months ago:
And I have come [...]

Dean still no friend of Halliburton
October 28th, 2003 1 Comment
Robert Tagordo has relented somewhat in his quest to smear Howard Dean with the stain of Halliburton. Tagordo titles his post Making Peace with Howard Dean. He concedes at least one of the points I made earlier, that such a piddling sum isn’t enough to sway Dean’s position. But the concessions seem [...]

Someone on the frisbee team had the fires turn away one street over from his family’s house.
This is from SF Gate. It is a satellite picture of the fires:
Absolutely amazing.

Howard Dean definitely no friend of Halliburton
October 27th, 2003 No Comments
Glenn Reynolds says that Robert Tagorda raises some interesting questions regarding Howard Dean and Halliburton. To which I say, “No, he really doesn’t”.
Tagorda’s contention is that Dean has been soft on Halliburton’s no-bid contracts in Iraq. He points to a relative paucity of comments by Dean on his website. Yet [...]
