Willard Tony and Dr. Who Now some, not Eli of course, have had their fun with Willard Tony, but Eli has always been serious and respectful (oh yeah, well this one was early days). OTOH there are, to be sure, problems with his approach, his papers and his all around understanding of what he is doing, many of which surfaced with what Roger Pielke the Elder called the major game changing paper in the history of the world, and Nigel Steve called crap Over at the Weasel’s , Evan Jones is proclaiming that all is well and fixed. Well, young Eli asks, what do you find, and Evan says The City September 2, 7:52 am  4.)
