Eli Rabett Eli Rabett Eli Rabett is a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny, a chair election from retirement, at a wanna be research university that has a lot to be proud of but has swallowed the Kool-Aid. The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional. His colleagues are smart, but they have a curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves
Assigned Reading Down there in the comments, one of the bunnies, Louise, quotes a comment from Willard Tony’s blog of ill repute which is trying to freep the Lewandowshy poll, to establish once and for all that those who deny human’s having a major effect on climate are not conspiracy junkies WUWT is attempting to replicate the survey, some of the comments are particularly amusing:"the warmists will be discussing this secretly" – wot, you mean a conspiracy?"I won’t be completing the survey. Here’s why. First, I strongly agree with several of the conspiracy theories, (secret services assassinate people – that’s their job) and I don’t want that fact being used to dirty the name of scepticism." – Hmm, again, not a conspiracy believer?"Also, I would note that not all “conspiracy theories†are wrong, and not all conspiracy theorists are whack-jobs

Arsenic and Odd Life From Boing Boing , but Eli sorta remembers seeing it elsewhere. Thee and Eli sorta remember the cold fusion follies, with a refresher course recently when Martin Fleischmann passed on to the great calorimeter in the sky, but all the bunnies know that politicians have too much to do to bother their pretty minds staying up on the state of the science, and Mitt has the added burden of being from Utah with all the native pride that that entails, Now some, not Eli to be sure, would make a connection between what Romney said in a Washington Examiner interview (the other right wing rag in town the Washington Times is on critical life support with the passing of the Rev. Moon) and others surely might note that the remaining true believers believe themselves victims of a conspiracy.
