Gene Lyons: Spot on as ususal
Let experts stick to science
By Gene Lyons

LITTLE ROCK — “The spread of secondary and latterly of tertiary education has created a large population of people, often with well-developed literary and scholarly tastes, who have been educated far beyond their capacity to undertake analytical thought.”-P.B. Medwar So what’s next? A series of essays by Sarah Palin about the Large Hadron Collider and the mysteries of dark matter?

An MIT lecture series by Rush Limbaugh regarding the thermodynamics of black holes?

A Festschrift of Sean Hannity’s scholarly articles on plate tectonics and volcano formation?

Glenn Beck performing live heart lung transplants on FOXNews?
