There are lots of questions that could have been better than the one that
was asked, but the startling thing was that the responses received from the
bloggers were 59 to 0.

Yes, well that is a perfectly sensible response.

"The stupefying $12.7 billion loss that Ford Motor Co. reported Thursday for
2006 comes one year after General Motors' equally horrendous $10.6 billion
loss for 2005..."
http://tinyurl.com/yom3ux

The phrase "struggling U.S. auto maker" seems almost redundant these days
when talking about General Motors (GM, news, msgs), Ford Motor (F, news,
msgs) and DaimlerChrysler (DCX, news, msgs). But now DaimlerChrysler, the
latest auto maker to announce a restructuring, is feeding rumors that the
U.S.-German entity may be on the verge of selling off its large U.S. unit,
acquired in 1998.

Anyone that actually knew what was going on would have known that the
"loses" are from the labor contracts that Ford and GM signed to keep the
strikers at bay. And anyone with half a brain would know that the same thing
will happen with the American plant Japanese manufacturers in time if they
have the same kind of give-away contracts.

But by all means be even stupider than usual and assume that it isn't
because the Japanese don't have these loads and hence can sell cheaper than
the American manufacturers at least for now.

But no one ever said that people like you would be bright enough to
understand basic economics.

I figure that sooner or later you'll turn up at a ride I'm on and I'll get

A few years ago, I was driving to work one chilly February morning. I pulled up at
a traffic light and glanced into the tow yard on the corner. Many tow yards have large
dogs freely roaming; this one was no exception, sporting a pair of huge Dobermans. I
couldn't help noticing that one of these dogs was parked right by the fence in front,
hunkered down with its haunches quivering with the effort of forcing out the remains
of last night's 20 pounds of Purina. As I said, it was a cold day - combine that with
the warmth of what the dog had just created and there was a cloud of vapor in the air
as Fido trotted away.

You remind me of that: an enormous, steaming turdpile.

Well, the interesting thing isn't that biased samples produce odd results:
it's that the sample was selected according to position on a political, not
scientific, spectrum. One could easily expect that opinions on the war, on
the President's performance, or on Democratic legislator's motivations would
be affected. That's dog bites man stuff. But what was the a prior
expectation about their position on a scientific topic? I wouldn't have
expected this litmus test to have performed so well.

But I guess I'm naive because I was also pretty surprised about the divide
on the estimates of excess mortality in Iraq. Those estimates appear to have
about as much support as the AGW stuff does by professionals in their
respective fields.

Pretty much. Try googling "77 e third st" new york
if you really need to know. Most people in lower NYC
mind their manners on this block. Or just visit

Tommy Gun,

As Mr. Big Talk yourself, if you had any more irony
in you, you'd be a skillet. I have not threatened
you with any kind of violence and I never will. If
you can dig some threat up with Google, which I doubt,
I'll happily retract it. I don't need to behave that
way and I don't need to prove some kind of outdated
idea of manliness either. What little I've seen of
the rule of fists was enough and I don't need to see
any more, much less fantasize about it on Usenet.
If it makes you feel good, fine, but don't expect any
grown-up to be impressed.

In this case politics probably overshadows science. This would be a good
topic for my Stats class (maybe a significance test for one proportion).

If I run a single one tailed proportion z test, the 0 is not
statistically significant (95% confidence level) if the true population
proportion (of right wing bloggers who believe human intervention is the
main cause of climate change) is less than 4.5%.

And the conclusion is..............erm, good luck with that.

I'm skeptical about the GW thing mostly due to my experience with
models.

Yeah this **** gets really old, really quick. Tom sounds like a
testosterone, or tequila, fueled teenager looking for a shoving match.
As we know though, Tom is more deadly than Chuck Liddell, or the whole
Gracie family, 'cause he's told us.
About the only thing he has done is to guarantee, if anything
happened, that tons of witnesses here would come forward to testify
that Tom's attack was premeditated assault.
I'm willing to bet there are a bunch of people here who could adjust
Tom's attitude, but they have smarter things to do than go looking for
a streetfight.

Push Pull telekenesis, with the occasional teleportation for that
turbo start. Windmills of your mind, so to speak.

Don't tell me where I got this - the little voices weren't saying, so

What all of this comes down to is that Tom is a bully. All you have to do is watch
the progression of his posts in any discussion - the constant belittling and
disparaging of the other person eventually turns to threats if they don't buckle under
to his barrage. And why should anyone be impressed with or respect someone who feels
that threats of physical violence are an acceptable way of carrying on a discussion?

Yeah. Nuclear energy really saved San Diego's ass a few years ago.
