The flat-earthers are dead - Long live the George Will Climate Change Denier society

[Coexist]

Nature abhors a vacuum. George Will has filled it... ho boy had he filled it!

When both TPM and Nate Silver laugh at you on their front pages, you know you've done something silly.

No longer content to trot his old 1970's era newspaper out on Sunday talk shows, George Will is now taking his show on the road, and must've been mistakenly booked by the Washington Post for the wrong event - I think he was supposed to be part of the dinner show, but ended up as part of the comedy hour.

Don't bother reading it - its just a bunch of multi-syllabic words interwoven with handily cropped excerpts of scientific reports and news headlines - just know that it will be quoted ad nauseum by the science-haters.

from 538:

"His batting average on this piece seems to have been a bit lower than that of his beloved Washington Nationals."

All this comes on the heels of CNN ditching its actual Science Journalists to report on science. And here I thought the War on the Rational was over.

When all is said and done, I suppose part of me isn't surprised by the errors from Will; my real disappointment is with the Editorial staff at the post. The real question is:

"Why has the Washington Post done the same disservice to its readers that the NYTimes did with the weekly fact-challenged columns from Bill Kristol?"

I mean, really.

1. I thought Supply-siders had already filled that void.

3. I wouldn't be so sure of that, this morning I over heard an interesting convo

exchange between conservatives. They were talking about Iraq and how it would be a terrible waste of lives if President Obama took the troops out of Iraq. One of the nit wits then pointed out it was a mistake to send the troops in without the equipment needed, to which the first nit wit replied, well its all because the government had to take money away from the military so they could buy welfare people converters for their TV's.

Then the nit wits went on to talk about the global warming lie, after all this has been the coldest snow filled winter that either could remember. And how they didn't believe give aways to working folks will help the economy when businesses needed it more to create jobs. You just can't fix this kind of stupid.

2. At least they won't be getting officially sanctioned press releases from the WH...

to bolster their talking points.

Science is back!!!
