Putting the chill on global warming skeptics
Government thugs: Putting the chill on global warming skeptics.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Just image the media uproar if Bush or another Republican was president. The double standard is just breathtaking.
The request from the DoJ to hand over emails / communications, etc. is related to an on-going crimminal investigation in the UK. I think it is a legitimate debate whether or not this
individual should have been caught up in the sweep.
However, debating the merits for or against based on a couple of blog posts isn’t really productive. Trial by media/blogs often doesn’t get to the real, un-biased truth.
That being said, we can really thank the Patriot Act for this level of invasiveness all all walks of life.
There are double standards for all politicians, regardless of which party they are in. When the shoe was on the other foot, The Bush Administration was quick enough to smack down gov’t climate scientists who supported the consensus on global warming and the human impact.
The media is like a dog and squirrel… limited attention span and easily distracted. Right now, the payroll tax cut vote is the current squirrel.
I would give credit to some bloggers who persistently chase the truth without bias, however. Some stories initially ignored by the media do come to light thanks to persistent bloggers, who in some cases are parallel to investigative journalists (albeit, most of their “dumpster diving” is electronic and deserve close scrutiny).
But I digress…
