LayScience.net is back! What’s Lay Science, you ask? Well, it’s actually called The Lay Scientist, and it’s one of the more intelligent science-geared blogs on the internet. Go to Pharyngula for your fire-and-brimstone atheist-geared science; go to TLS for in-depth, intelligent discussion.

PZ Myers gives us the latest Carnival of the Liberals, including yours truly (thanks PZ!). Most important in this edition - other than a simply sublime piece about abortion (*ahem*) - is Bay of Fundie’s take on California’s bigoted “Proposition 8,” a referendum designed to roll back the clock on gay rights and deprive gay [...]

Also, next Thursday, we’ll be hosting Carnival of the Liberals here.  If you have a piece of liberal/progressive blogging, of which you’re particularly proud, please send it in!

Thanks to “Cult of Gracie” for including us in the latest Carnival of the Liberals, an agglomeration of selections from the best of liberal blogs.  Gracie’s chosen to highlight, out of apparently quite a few submissions, articles on the paradox of fundamentalist “family values,” along with posts on political denialism, the trouble with torture, and [...]

Carnival of the Liberals #69 is up at Stump Lane: must-see posts (serious business) include a piece from our friend The Lay Scientist, separating spin from fact on the ANWAR drilling proposal, and the predictable whining about Obama’s turn towards center (get a job, you hippie!).
While the latter piece can be viewed just to get [...]
