Massimo's picks

* Ben Radford on a psychic predictably and shamelessly trying to take advantage of the recent solution of the Jaycee Dugard abduction case.

* Take a look at the new field of sentiment analysis...

* The Republican Party: it ain't what Republicans claim it is.

* A very interesting graphic comparison between US healthcare and the rest of the world.

* Classic Penn & Teller: signing up environmentalists to support a ban on water.

    Knowing how irrational politics is (both sides), shouldn't most of your picks be posted in your "Politically Speaking" blog instead of in your "Rational" one? Just a thought.

    I have to disagree with benny's complaint. The whole "Death Panel" thing is exactly the kind of nonsense we need to expose to the light of reason. And all the howling to "Keep government out of healthcare" is likewise off-point. I just hope Pigliucci is willing to print corrections--even if it's to a story he's only linked to.

    Dennis,

    yes, of course I'm happy to post corrections, even regarding linked stories. What's the correction, though?

    Sorry if I implied I had one in mind. I meant hypothetically, in the event that, etc.
