After the tropical cyclone devestated Myanmar, Laura Bush "...criticized government leaders for not warning citizens about the storm." Now, obviously it doesn't phase her, but if I was remotely connected to the bush administration, the last thing I would criticize another country for is their storm preparedness. Note: This does not in the least mean that I think Myanmar's military regime is clean and squeaky.

pharyngula, normally ready to point out the follies and bizarre credulities of Creationists, bemoaned ridiculous new-agie mumbo jumbo in Portland - without apparently checking up enough to see that the whole thing is a conceptual art project, and a pretty damn good one. About half the commenters start foaming at the mouth, but a few stay sane. Abysmal lack of fact checking due to too much anti-CAM credulity, or poor reading comprehension? I'll overlook it this once since it's finals weeks and one can't expect professors to be sane during finals week.
