P.J O’Rourke Dead
I know it’s a little late to comment, but, I loved and admired the work of P.J. O’Rourke from his National Lampoon days onward (I owned all his books) and his death saddens me. It also reminds me of a great NatLamp parody; I thought PJ wrote Deteriorata, but it turns out it was Christopher Guest.

Great Quotes from Tom Rush
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”
 – Isaac Asimov, Newsweek, Jan. 21, 1980
“A big nose is no excuse for not wearing a mask. I still wear pants."

Evidence-Based Science
From my friend Kevin Sullivan:

I ran across this British Medical Journal (BMJ) article (don't run away :-) !) on the use of evidence-based science. Having read and written a lot of academic articles, I found it well-done, highly professional, and appropriately documented, also very funny! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and it informs your appreciation of evidence based science.
