* Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) went ballistic at Republicans after the GOP killed 9/11 responders’ health care legislation.
* My latest entry on my Center for Inquiry blog: the choices we face don’t always reflect all reasonable options.
* U.S. soldiers are now making conscientious objector pleas based on their not wanting to serve with openly gay people.
* A good one from The Onion, funny and full of social commentary: “Nation Shudders at Large Block of Uninterrupted Text.”
* FOX News (and its featured pundits) criticizes Obama for skipping the Boy Scouts’ Jamboree to attend fundraisers and tape The View. Jon Stewart responds.
* Denis Campbell, in The Guardian, argues that “it is right that we should be responsible for our health.”
* New York Times columnist David Brooks reports about a recent meeting of “moral naturalists.”
* Let’s be clear: it’s not a mosque at Ground Zero; it’s an Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero.
As you seem to imply in the CFI blog, there are scientismists and there are scientismists. The ones with a very narrow definition of science have no truck with religion. Those with a broader definition can be believers in something that they think sooner or later WILL be explained by science.
