ABC News is reporting that the section titled “Family Recipes” on John McCain’s official campaign site also appeared verbatim on the FoodNetwork.com website.
The recipes in question – including Ahi Tuna with Napa Cabbage Slaw, Passion Fruit Mousse, and Farfalle Pasta with Turkey Sausage, Peas and Mushrooms — were all credited on the website to […]

Over on the comments on my Sylvia Brown’s 2007 predictions post, Bethany asked this:

WHO CARES IF SHE IS FAKE?! WHAT HARM IS SHE DOING?!?!?!?!

I almost let this slide, but couldn’t do that in good conscience.
You tell me:
Most famously, Sylvia tells Shawn Hornbeck’s parents that their child had been murdered. Oops, he’s alive and well. […]

This video is priceless. Here we have an Atheist and a True Believer having a calm, rational discussion about belief, knowledge, epistemology, and the existence of God. Of course, it’s rational up to the point at which the caller cannot contain his righteous fury.

Over at ThinkProgress, there’s a small piece about President Bush’s remarks about something he’s learned from his visit to the Rawandan Genocide Museum:.

Over on StupidEvilBastard recently, someone (not naming names) forgot “That guy with the million dollar challenge” for psychics. That guy, if you don’t know, is the esteemed James Randi, of the James Randi Educational Foundation (or JREF). Mr. Randi has been debunking kooks and frauds for years, and the JREF recently announced that […]

Someone posted a stupid comment yesterday in my post about comedian Sylvia Browne’s horrible accuracy for her 2006 predictions, and I wondered why it was that my claims were treated with such disdain, while Sylvia’s wrong predictions (like the one that Arnold Schwarzenegger would lose his re-election bid) were glossed over.
