Well, nobody's pointed this out yet, so I assume nobody cares, but the Atheism article is the featured article on Wikipedia today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism

By Damien on blather.net A good piece of common sense, with David Icke gratuitously included http://www.blather.net/blather/2007/02/enough_is_enough_were_finally.html

Hi All, Got a interesting article to read and to think about. http://www.safetyed.org/help/stalking/cyberstalking.html Has there been any indication of this on the entire JREF forum? I know of one, but any others?

UK tabloid two page article.In brief here: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/tm_method=full%26objectid=18215850%26siteid=94762-name_page.html Includes a ridiculous picture of her manifesting a "spirit",looks more like Chef from The Muppets to me. :p Image here,from a different...

Well, just got finished with this thread, I flip up Salon.com, and low and behold, the same assertions: "...at the same university -- they have some chutzpah over there -- the University of Virginia, Ian Stevenson is now retired from the psych department. He's not a Buddhist, he wasn't a Hindu...

The criticism section for this article is a bit light. Does anyone who has more up-to-date info than me on the quality of these Scholars' research fancy updating it?

Or so it is in my opinion. Your opinion may vary - and almost certainly will. :) Here. Enjoy!

There is a great article in the current New Yorker (Oct. 16, 2006): "Paranoid Style: How conspiracy theories become news" by Nicholas Lemann. Here's a great quote on the inability to convince true believers: To engage in huffy denunciations of the journalistic shortcomings of "Loose Change"...

The Loosers helpfully posted a link to this...(In their glum little Is the Truth Movement Dying? thread.) http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/11818067/the_low_post_the_hopeless_stupidity_of_911_conspiracies/1 It's worth a read for some entertaining Truther Bashing. Source thread at...

...to be found here. It's a five-page article, by--of all people--the Iranian/jewish broadcaster of the israeli radio network to Iran in Farsi. He also, naturally, listens to a lot about Iran. Since it's long, I allow myself a bit more than usual of direct quoting as "fair use", in case some...

Actually it was yesterday's paper, but it was literally on the front page of the National Post yesterday: One in five believes in conspiracy Apparently a phone survey had as much as 26% of Canadians aged 18-34 saying they believe the US attacked its own buildings. Ugh.

There's a swell article in the Chicago Reader that just came out, on David Hatcher Childress, a self-styled "rogue achaeologist" and prolific publisher of "fringey" (his words) books, including CTs, UFOS, and secret societies. Titles include "The Bible's Awesome Number Code," and "Remote Viewing...

"If conspiracy theories can take the temperature of society, then it seems we’re all afflicted with anxiety sickness, flaring to paranoia in sections." A very sensible article on Spiked! http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/1604/

Well, at least she's not just sitting around posting on Internet message boards all day. http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060824/NEWS01/108240131/-1/news20 Her campaign website: http://www.maxwellforcongress.com/menu I like how most of the menu items are...

Yet another jerk tries to cash in on the growing 9-11 Denial Movement, this time by alleging that Flight 93 was shot down by the US military. The article is written by the book's author, Rowland Morgan. He's a typical CT nutbar, having written other articles and books. His previous book...

http://www.sianews.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=48 now the article trails on and goes off topic, it also makes alot of claims that may be very false, but i want to know if this part is true and if it is true would it really be something that couldnt be overidden?

You may need to register to view it. Or just go to bugmenot. http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/15003846.htm Overall, pretty good.

Yahoo Article I've been telling people since they came out not to buy them and even have pointed out to coworkers that their claim about the FDA declaring them "A newer way to clean air" means nothing, it only states that it's newer, not better than anything. Maybe an article like this will...

Unbelievably, this week's issue of Time has as its cover article, "New Insights into the Hidden World of Autism", which turns out to be a ten-page spread extolling the virtues of the bunk science known as Facilitated Communication, and basically gives an unskeptical look at the claims of...

http://news.scotsman.com/opinion.cfm?id=480232006 Mr. Hennigan starts by writing about Scientology, and how wacky weird it all is. Most everyone, who is not a Scientologist will read, and laugh along with Mr. Hennigan as he tells about their quirky beliefs. Then he hits his readers with...

One of the requested articles at the skepticwiki is for the British Veterinary Voodoo Society: http://www.skepticwiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=British_Veterinary_Voodoo_Society&action=edit So does anyone here know anything about it? As it sounds fascinating and I would love to read about it...

I guess I've been vocal enough and geeked enough about TAM that my students who are also in Newspaper want to do an article. They've interviewed me about TAM, and are now hoping to do a Mythbusting sidebar. Here's the note they sent me. I'm looing forward to addressing these as best I can, but I...

Not sure if it was today's or not, it was banging around the lunchroom. In it, it says that Lay and his buddy are using the defense that everything they did was common, legal, corporate practice. Ok, I am NOT taking any position here, I frankly don't know enough about this issue. It does have...
