Catching Giant Tuna, WOAH!

Ben Goldacre Discussing Placebo & Nocebo effects.

I've been reading Ben Goldacre's blog for quite a while, but didn't know what he looked like. In my mind, I had his face almost correct but I didn't realise he talked so fast.

"Whatever Happened to Global Warming, Eh?"

Ron Paul - Lying is not Patriotic

>> ^dannym3141:

Can anyone link me to a video where ron paul looks like an uninformed, unintelligent, bad person? I've never seen it, does the guy talk nothing but absolute solid common sense and fairness?


Like most libertarians he has a major break down when it comes to dealing with climate change. Watch videos where he speaks about AGW and you can tell he's just trying to spin himself out of hole. He doesn't really know how libertarianism would tackle such a problem (even hypothetically), and so instead falls back on what comes across as very uninformed and unintelligent (e.g. spurious nonsense he gets from amateur blogs about volcanoes and sunspots).

Watch any video and he gives the same answer - something along the lines of, "Ehh, well maybe global warming doesn't exist, or maybe it does, I don't want to think about, can't we talk about the Iraq war some more?"

San Francisco to Introduce Marijuana Legalization Bill

We have drug testing on the roads in Victoria, Australia. I believe they can test for marijuana with a saliva sample. This has only recently been introduced and has been under a little criticism (mostly from the media), but this is to be expected given it is still in its infancy.

I'm not sure how accurate it is, although I would guess the harder thing is to differentiate between a joint smoked an hour ago and a joint smoked the previous day, because marijuana remains in the blood for so long compared to alcohol.

As omnistegan says, the police can still operate the old fashioned way if necessary.

Watch the chaser more often - this guys shtick is to go and make an ass of himself and offend everyone including the viewer. Same general idea as Jackass or any other comedian out there who is out to get a reaction, good or bad. It's not exactly top-class entertainment but its still a joke.

The skit is also somewhat ironic (and therefore funny) because there isn't a hell of a lot to rant about when it comes to Aussie culture, being such a new, small, multi-cultural civilization.
