Reason Magazine From: Chris Mooney Bruce Korol Matthew J. Brady Chris Mooney Evan Grant Charles Daney News Room Phil Plait Robert Stacy McCain Evan Grant Gillespie@reason.com (Nick Gillespie) Cat Rambo Phil Plait Freddie /26713845

Despite the previous arguments, Chris Mooney has many reasons to think otherwise:

However, Matthew J. Brady thinks differently:

Chris Mooney also takes into account the following fact:
69.   Ben Nelson Says: July 14th, 2009 at 8:58 pm TB, I wasn t aware of that particular political moment, and yes it is somewhat useful to demonstrate the point. Though the point of that event was to make an example out of someone to a third party. What I am concerned about for the timebeing is more direct: communicating to strangers full stop (for simplicity s sake, we ll treat it as speaking person to person).

Similarly, Evan Grant adds:
Dan @ July 12th, 2009 at 4:45 pm Today s stat of the day: Rangers are 17-11 when they wear the blue jerseys on the road. They are just 3-10 when they wear the grays.

Charles Daney can't forget that:

News Room can't forget that:
“I do remember going into somebody’s house in Washington [D.C.] and seeing the Virgin [Mary] with these huge, dark eyes,” Vikan said during a recent interview. “And I remember the moment I saw it and where I was standing. The memory is very strong.”

Phil Plait is not really sure about that:
19.   TechSkeptic Says: July 2nd, 2009 at 1:55 pm Eddie: Yes, the response will be that LRO pictures of the landing site were faked also.

Robert Stacy McCain says it all comes down to this:
-- Dyspeptic Mutterings "The most enthusiastic blogger I have yet to meet."-- Pam Geller, Atlas Shrugs "The guy has to be the hardest working dude in DC. I've yet to meet someone here he doesn't know."

Evan Grant does a quick recap:
• More fun with stats: While Ron Washington isn t ready to put Frank Francisco back in the closer s role just yet, the Rangers really haven t had any issues regardless of who has been the closer. The Rangers have not lost a ninth inning lead this year, going 32-0 when holding a lead after eight. The Rangers lead the AL in save percentage (80.8) and have the fewest blown saves (five).  They are second to Cincinnati (82.6 percent save conversions, four blown saves) in the majors in both categories.

As a result of that, gillespie@reason.com (Nick Gillespie) belives:
4.25.04 5.2.044.18.04 4.25.044.11.04 4.18.04

Evan Grant thinks about it:

Cat Rambo imagines that:

Was there ever a time when you found yourself ready to hang up the typewriter? How did you handle it and get back on track?

Still not being convinced, gillespie@reason.com (Nick Gillespie) replies:

Meanwhile, Phil Plait came up with this idea:
154.   Charles J. Slavis,Jr. Says: July 13th, 2009 at 9:14 pm Doesn t it bother anybody that they landed on this side of the moon, placed mirrors to laser the distance from the earth to the moon, and found out that it is moving away from the earth. Now we need to land on the other side to push it back.

Before going any further, Freddie wants to get this straight:
7 mike farmer { 07.09.09 at 10:52 am } gregniak, why would they fire workers, if the workers are needed and the workers are doing their job, even if they weren t hired as highly skilled workers. In a competitive market for workers, employers have to offer competitive pay to attract workers why would the workers need regulation to protect them perhaps so they can bully the company to pay inflated wages? Who does this help except a handful of workers? Modern industry has developed workplaces which are good working environments and most companies know they have to have good workers to be competitive, so what is the value of unions empowered by government regulations?

Even though my blog s theme is astronomy (or at least a high schooler s level of understanding), I like to post a lot of other random fun stuff because they are interesting. Not only that, he is putting up issues which is important to him, so the blog is a good place to put those things up. Plus, it is his blog, so you have no business in telling him what to post about. If you don t like it, you have the choice to go away. How hard is that?

In contrast, info@reason.com (Peter Suderman) replies:

In other words, drboli puts it this way:

Cathy Young thinks about it:
As Barack Obama's trip to Moscow next week draws near, there is much talk of a fresh start -- or, as Vice President Joseph Biden put it earlier this year, "pushing the reset button" -- between the United States and Russia. But "reset" to what? A partnership based on shared democratic values, as many hoped in the 1990s? A pragmatic collaboration based on common interests such as combating terrorism, with issues of freedom and human rights sidelined? There are strong voices arguing for each viewpoint. But for the foreseeable future, neither approach is likely to yield much progress in relations with Russia, since both arguments reflect a high degree of wishful thinking.

However, Phil Plait thinks differently:
134.   Jack Hagerty Says: July 9th, 2009 at 12:52 pm 132. Mchl Says: @Jack Hagerty: Don’t forget we will probably be able to see some shadows. With sun low over lunar horizon, the shadows will be larger than the objects themselves. But will the shadows be parallel?

atheo imagines that:
An open letter to President Obama from Christian P... Hundreds of thousands protest Obama s first coup Obama s Marines in position for Afghan offensive

Phil Plait is absolutely sure that:
Slightly OT but I ve just read the chapters in the bad astronomy book and think someone s messed up. The part about the moon appearing bigger near the horizon has a diagram showing the hemispheric sky and how it seems bowl-like. This perspective assumes the observer at centre of the earth. We are you ll notice, at the surface with the centre 4,000km beneath our feet, and the centre of the moon s orbit 1,000km beneath us. From here, the sky _is_ bowl shaped; the top of the atmosphere being only 100km away overhead and some thousands at the horizon.

Ricardo Valenzuela brings some great news:
Many of the mainstream environmental groups-the Natural Resources Defence Council, the Environmental Defence Fund, the Sierra Club and others-have said that the bill is flawed but far better than nothing. More than that, they claim that once in place it can be tightened over time.

Idea of the Day tells the real story:
Again and again in Dickens’ work, money problems get resolved not through sound financial management or hard work but through patronage as in Twist s benefactor, Mr. Brownlow ( The source of his fortune? He’s just rich. ) In Dickens, Cavanaugh says, what comes across most clearly is a journalist’s fake sophistication about money, a belief that the wealth just somehow exists and needs only to get to the right people (or be returned to them, sometimes after being retrieved from Jews and moneylenders). [ Reason , Boston Globe , Los Angeles Times , London Times ]

However, Ricardo Valenzuela thinks differently:
The number of people with net assets of at least $1m (excluding their homes) fell by 14.9% in 2008, according to an annual report from Capgemini and Merrill Lynch. The total wealth of these 8.6m high net-worth individuals stood at $32.8 trillion. Over half of the super-rich live in America, Japan and Germany, but China passed Britain to take fourth place for the first time.

Having that in mind, gillespie@reason.com (Nick Gillespie) wonders:
Chad | June 29, 2009, 5:56pm | # ellipsis | June 29, 2009, 5:55pm | # Four Trillion dollars per year is $13,333.33 for every man, woman and child, per year. $40k per year for a family of three. That's close to the median INCOME for US households. There's no way to pay that much in taxes; the economy would collapse in short order. True, which is why we shouldn't try to pay for it all at once, but over the next couple of decades.

Caleb remembers that:

In response, atheo claims:
June 30, 2009 11:13 AM atheo said... dd, You failed to substantiate your assertion about yield per acre. Highly intensive agriculture relies on human inputs rather than chemical. The fact that chemfood producers are able to externalise so much of the societal cost of their product does NOT prove that they can inherently produce more per acre. It just enables them to sell product at a lower price while others are left to deal with the consequences. Your comment suggests that price at the market is the ultimate proof of produtivity potential. An illogical assertion at best.

Kenneth Jarecke is rather skeptical:
With Getty s online based business model, the agencies also lost the research fees that were normally charged to clients for delivering images. These fees, usually somewhere between $50 and $150 depending on the nature of the request, could account for about 30% of an agency s income.

Thinking that's not all, Chris Mooney adds:
Here s PZ the other day:Now one way the defenders of religion like to get around this empirical problem is to change the game in mid-play: one moment we re talking about tools for understanding the world, where there is a conflict, and then they switch to a completely different purpose, that of establishing a common morality, or appreciating art, or falling in love. I would be the first to admit that science does not and should not dictate morality: the cases in the past where this has happened (eugenics comes to mind right away) have been disastrous. Science is good at explaining what is and how it works, and not so great at telling us how it should work. I also wouldn t use the scientific method directly to determine whether I like some music or poetry or not.

Evan Grant might have an idea about it:
haiku man @ June 28th, 2009 at 8:29 am back to second place almost two months at the top every loss brings doubt

Chris Mooney does a quick recap:
52.   Ben Nelson Says: July 10th, 2009 at 8:53 pm TB, you re surely right. But it s a step in that direction. The line between my saying something threatening and performing the act of threatening you is a matter of interpretation. A grim realist may be a bully, or vice-versa, depending on how you interpret a situation.

Before going any further, gillespie@reason.com (Nick Gillespie) wants to get this straight:

jtuf | July 9, 2009, 5:34pm | # I eat potato chips partly for environmental reasons. Potato crops produce more calories per acre than any other crop I know by a long shot. That means you can feed the same number of people on fewer acres if they eat potatos. A large bag of potato chips is about 800 calories, so it's the perfect portion controlled meal.

For this reason, Emma Rose Johnson says:
Mann does a little better in his latest, Public Enemies, but I do see the signs of a repeat performance. Again we have the truly talented director. We have the fabulous cast (Depp! Bale! Cotillard!) And we have excellent source material: the films follows the rise and fall of John Dillinger, a 1930s bank robber and show-boater who lived fast and died young. And, in general, it s an homage to every gangland film ever made since Jimmy Cagney was walking. Mann appears to be hoping reignite our fascination with amoral bank robbers who shoot at police while riding the running boards of their getaway cars. And it s a good time for it anti-heroes abound in today s films, and moral ambiguity fits our current sensibilities just fine.

Abby Larson tells the real story:
And, we got quoted TWICE in the latest Martha Stewart , which is a ridiculously amazing issue by the way. So, we are having a really good month. Really good. Thanks to all of you editors who thought enough of us to give us a little shout out. We are forever grateful! What a fun job I have!

Corey Blake notices:
This is a great week for comics. Almost something for everyone: horror, humor, heroes. Plenty to choose from! As it should be. Enjoy!

Similarly, Chris Mooney adds:
14.   --bill Says: July 10th, 2009 at 3:23 pm if there actually was no conflict between science and religion This statement is problematic, in many ways. The most glaring, to me, is that it presumes the existence of something called science and something called religion . What are the definitons of science and religion being used here? Science and religion as philosophical constructs? as societal constucts? of the actions of people called scientists and the religions ?

Still not being convinced, Matthew J. Brady replies:
Honey Hunt Vol 2 GN The second collection of Miki Aihara's latest series. I covered it when it was running in Shojo Beat , and it's decent, although it certainly has its problems. If you can handle Aihara's eccentricities, it does have some charms, and maybe it will get better. Just be prepared for a lot of whining.

Still being unsure, Chris Mooney asks:

(I couldn't make this stuff up!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Collin

In other words, emily puts it this way:
Amongst all female characters, my favorite is Scarlett whom Vivien Leigh portrayed in Gone with the wind . She s not the prim and proper lovable protagonist. However, she s a truthful woman. She truthfully faces herself and reality, and makes a bargain with reality. She may regret, and may feel pitiable. Although she s considered slightly selfish as a female, I think that s what makes her beautiful.

Still being unsure, admin asks:
  Throughout its history, the African Cup of Nations has been dominated by various teams in a certain era. Throughout the 1960s, Ghananians won the cup and it all started from the moment they hosted the competition in 1963, in which they defeated Sudan in the final. Two years later they won it again, equalling Egypt s two-time winners record. Another remarkable fact to note down is that they retained the cup with only two members from the 1963 winning squad, showing the richness of Ghananian footballing talent.

Evan Grant shows how it is done:

Having that in mind, matt.welch@reason.com (Matt Welch) wonders:
robc | July 13, 2009, 8:18am | # What this means is that balancing the budget in 2020 would require a tax increase of almost 50 percent from the last half-century's average. Or, you know, cutting spending.

While it may be true, Cat Rambo thinks:

14 Matt C { 07.09.09 at 1:13 pm } What, absent unionism, would Welch or Friedersdorf suggest public sector employees do to improve their lives? Or do they just have to take it, to live with less?

Despite the previous arguments, gillespie@reason.com (Nick Gillespie) has many reasons to think otherwise:
Neu Mejican | June 29, 2009, 2:47pm | # TAO, That is the point. When the label "environmentalist" is used, it is treated like it is a coherent philosophy or doctrine of some sort. What it actually is is a loose group of people (the majority) that place high enough value on minimizing harm to the environment that they think some costs are worth considering to achieve that goal. It is a goal oriented, pragmatic at its core movement. It is not about methods, but results for the vast majority of environmentalists (i.e. people).

In 1970, the competition was covered by television for the first time. Sudan, the hosts, won the cup beating Ghana in the final. Six different nations then the won the cup between 1970-80, namely Morroco, Nigeria, Zaire (who won their first title as Democratic Republic of Congo), Ghana, Angola and Congo-Brazzaville.

In response, Phil Plait claims:

Hadara Graubart does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:
Journalist James Marcus has created a new techno song out of Philip Roth’s “Jewish shouting” from an interview last year. Word has it, the track will be the biggest thing to hit the clubs since the mashup of Bernard Malamud’s grumbling and John Updike’s harrumphs. [

Mon Jun 29, 07:12:00 PM Mark30339 said... "if you re looking for moonshine-swilling banjo-pickers with bad teeth . . ." . I thought for sure that was going to end up in Stacy s native state. Overall, this is an interesting strategy to draw fire off of Trig and on to Stacy; it s an incredibly provocative march on gay pride. NTTAWWT.

Kevin Melrose has another idea:
Comic Book Design: The Essential Guide to Creating Great Comics and Graphic Novels Chris: This looks interesting: a how-to book from Gary Spencer Millidge, the creator of Strangehaven , that guides you through the process of making a comic, along with profiles of authors like Chris Ware and Chip Kidd. How-to books seem to be a dime a dozen these days, but I m curious to see Millidge s take on the subject.

Charles Daney is absolutely sure that:

Phil Plait brings some great news:
I m starting to get out of my area of expertise here, but there s more to an image than pixel count. Features with good contrast and are quasi-linear (like rover tracks) will show up quite distinctly even though their width is well below the resolution limit of the camera. The reason for this is where my understanding gets fuzzy, but I would hazard a guess to say that the tracks, even though much less than a pixel wide, still contribute to the average value of that pixel. That means that particular pixel will be darker or lighter than its neighbors (depending on whether the tracks are dark or light). The string of such pixels in a row makes up a visible feature, even though we can t really see the tracks. The same goes for the parachute shroud lines. They were only ~1 cm across, but were so bright against the ground that they showed up, even though that s only 1/300 of the stated resolution.

In contrast, Nate Berg replies:
Similar in nature to the widely-followed 2005 Kelo v. New London decision, Sotomayor's vote in this 2006 case allowed a city to use eminent domain against a landowner standing in the way of a new development.

gillespie@reason.com (Nick Gillespie) also takes into account the following fact:
The Angry Optimist | June 29, 2009, 5:38pm | # oh my god, Chad, you're solidly a member of the "Making Shit Up" brigade. Answer GinSlinger's questions: where does the 2% come from? Do you have any evidence that each 2% decrease will match, one-for-one, with a 1 degree C mitigation? And spare me YOUR jingoistic "USA! USA!" nonsense. you cannot, short of a trade war or a real war, make the rest of the developed and developing world cooperate.

As matt.welch@reason.com (Matt Welch) says:
During the last two decades, the Golden State has been transformed from what was once known as the nation s most anti-labor outpost to a state essentially run by public-sector unions. Nearly three in five publicsector workers are unionized, compared to less than two in five public employees in other states. The Democratic Party, which is fully in hock to unions, has controlled the legislature and most statewide posts, with the notable exception of the governor s mansion, for more than a decade. That means more government workers, higher salaries, and drastically higher pension costs. 

Corey Blake gives a bit of an idea about it:
• HAWKMAN, written and illustrated by Kyle Baker (PLASTIC MAN, Special Forces) • SGT. ROCK, written by Adam Kubert (SUPERMAN: LAST SON), ilustrated by legendary comics artist Joe Kubert 

However, Phil Plait thinks differently:
Thanks so much, KIWCNASA Moderator: Yes, we will be taking images of Apollo sites. Should be able to see a good amount of detail.

matt.welch@reason.com (Matt Welch) objects:
What this means is that balancing the budget in 2020 would require a tax increase of almost 50 percent from the last half-century's average.

Chris Mooney does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:

Still being unsure, Robert Stacy McCain asks:

For this purpose, Chris Mooney suggests:
New Atheists are just those atheists who think it s time for believers to go into the closet they d like to shut atheists in. After all, the bible says pray in the closet . If only believers would be as private in their beliefs as they d like those with conflicting faiths to be. All religions are the equivalent of Scientology to me.

Having that in mind, Dutchman6 wonders:

However, Phil Plait states that:

Matthew J. Brady brings a word of caution:
Shonen Jump Vol 7 #8 August 2009 Can this possibly fill the hole that the cancellation of Shojo Beat has left in my life? My subscription to that magazine has been replaced with this one until it runs out, and having received this issue, I might as well write about it once I finish reading it. It's enjoyable enough, but I'm not finding it to be an adequate replacement. That probably comes from confusion after jumping into the middle of a bunch of stories, but I don't care; my heartbreak will be taken out on Naruto and company. Ooh, they're so gonna get it.

However, info@reason.com (Peter Suderman) thinks differently:

Nima points out another thing aside from that:

Ricardo Valenzuela is absolutely sure that:
MySpace announced more job cuts. After drastically reducing the size of its American workforce, the social-networking website slashed its international staff by two-thirds as it adapts to a sharp decline in advertising revenue.
