Religious fallacy of the day: “One who has little education on a subject obviously knows more on that subject than someone who is much more highly educated on that subject.” (I cannot make up something this stupid. I have encountered this fallacy at least twice. The first time was from an idiot who decided that his doctor was wrong on a medical issue, even though the idiot had no medical training. The second time was by ignoramuses who, despite having such a rudimentary understanding of the concept of religion that they could not conceive of even reading a book on their own, assumed they knew more about the history of wearing tefillin than I did.)
Again I am going to clean off my desktop for weird news:
- “Hamas victory stirs Palestinian humour” (NOTE: The article is incorrect about Hamas abiding by a cease-fire, as Israel never agreed to one and Hamas continued terrorism unabated anyway.)
- “Coretta Scott King Dies at 78” (Not weird news. Just notable and sad.)
- “Report: FEMA rebuffed Katrina aid”
- “Study Strengthens Link between Virus and Weight Gain”
- “The true nature of the struggle” (Read this one if you do not read any of the other articles, please. R. Wein hit the proverbial nail on the head with this one.)
- “The Doting Husbands Association?”
- “Palestinians storm EU office in Gaza” (Upshot: Kowtowing to terrorism does not work.)
- “Our world: The trial of American Jewry” (Upshot: The Bush administration is no friend of Israel.)
- “28% of Israelis give up on medical care” (Upshot: The US is not the only Western nation with a broken health care system. Remind me to lecture soon on what I think needs to be done in any country.)
- “Health of the Homeless Is Worse Than Imagined, New Study Finds”
- “The PA's debts”
