POPSSeeing What We Want to See This is a perfect case of how bias affects the interpretation of results. Is the ability to stick to a position good or bad? Like a lot of things, "it depends". If you love your wife and she is leaving because she has a hard time sticking to things, then you might like her to be more "conservative". If you want to move and she wants to stay where you are, then you might like her to be more liberal. The old adage that optimist finds the glass half full, the pessimist half empty, and the engineer finds the glass twice as big as it needs to be, comes to mind. All are "right", but I'd argue that the engineer is much close to "science". Science is NOT about values. It is about data, information, models, etc. When there is an attempt to make science into a religion (as atheists often do, because they realize that "something is missing"), there is a big problem. Science truly is "the God that doesn't care"; by definition.

POPSHypocrisy: A sin the left almost recognizes. It appears that we have a Republican Senator not practicing what he preaches. No doubt his constituency will turn him out of office if he isn't forced to resign beforehand. It is a great opportunity to understand the difference between right and left. Bill Clinton SIGNED a sexual harassment law that said that "sexual harassment is determined by how the person harassed FEELS". The left had no problem with him defending himself with and beyond any shred of reason to save his skin and save raw political power. Conservatives won't give the political power a second thought. Principles are more important than power, because if you lose your principles that provide meaning beyond mere existence, then you really have you life. Your principles and spirit are about eternity, political power is for just as season. Are conservatives any "better"? No; only in the sense that they better understand the reality of our condition.

POPSEd Koch On NYT Bush Derangement Syndrome Ed Koch is a former DEMOCRAT Mayor of NY, but apparently he has been able to avoid the loss of sanity experienced by most Democrats as their Bush hatred and rage causes loss of sanity. The whole column is well worth the read. On the subjects of Gitmo, Libby and selection of important news, it is obvious to all but the enraged that the NYT has slipped the surly bonds of reality and fallen into the abyss of bias.
