Always good to follow up on Chris Mooney.

Mooney on Kahan on Skeptics

Ah Mrs Curry makes many false equivalence arguments on her website.

Shes using policy decisions to attack science, which completely misses the point.

I dont give a crap about these types of books, but there is no denying the harm done to our country while we had an ignoramous anti-science President in office.

And given the fact that hard core religious folk make up the core of the Republican party, one would be very naive to think that they have a good grasp of science.

Of course from my perspective, most Americans dont understand how science works.

Dr. Curry is a scientist and she sees many of the non-scientific issues in poorly carried out and politically biased studies like the ones cited in the articles.
Chris Mooney on the other hand is a journalist.

See the difference?

You really went out on a limb reading this one. Was it colored in crayon for you?

Do you mean if it was written by a Republicon ,it would have been in crayon? In that case the answer is a resounding NO. ;)

Do you have the capability and/or the math skills to add up your unemployment?

LMAO.

Don't take your failings out on me. You're the one who fails at simple statistics, leading to your complete misunderstanding of your town's economic status. A misunderstanding which likely contributed to your blind allegiance to the Democrats, as you believe that somehow they are responsible for making everyone in your city wealthy.

In addition, if your post makes you "laugh your ass off" then you may have a developmental disability. It simply isn't that funny.
