I'm keeping this simple for Alan. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (4 days old)

I'm going to keep it simple because Alan Johnson has problems understanding science, evidence, truth, and above all he seems to have enormous difficulty understanding classifications. Or perhaps he is… more

The fuss about tags. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (5 days old)

I'm a bit baffled, I must confess, at the fury that has broken out here. On occasion, I have pointed out to people that they have forgotten to separate their tags with commas, resulting in a huge tag … more

Just handed in my resignation From stewartacraig ^Pro in StewBlog (6 days old)

Or.....should I walk From thehomelyyear ^Pro in The Homely Year (10 days old)

Government sacks scientist for telling the truth. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (11 days old)
