In 10 minutes - "The Republican War on Science" on CSPAN2 |
|
I watched this Saturday, well worth the repeat view. :)
The Republican War on Science Chris Mooney
Chris Mooney critiques the current administration's environmental policy in his book "The Republican War on Science." He argues that several energy companies that have allied themselves with the Bush administration are responsible for interfering with efforts to curb mercury pollution and global warming. This event was hosted by Politics & Prose bookstore in Washington, DC.
Chris Mooney is a former editor of The American Prospect. He has written stories on science and politics for Mother Jones, Wired, Slate, and the Boston Globe. "The Republican War on Science" is Mr. Mooney's first book.
Publisher: Basic Books 387 Park Avenue South New York, NY 10016
Mooney details how the * policies are so far away from real science, and how they twist info around for their own purposes.
Excellent first book!

"The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science" by Tom Bethell
-"Worthless right-wing trash aimed at the scientifically ignorant"

8. Morgan Spurlock bought the movie rights |
|
I guess there is a movie coming "Chris Mooney just got supersized. His bestseller, "The Republican War on Science," has been optioned for the big screen by Morgan Spurlock , the Oscar-nominated filmmaker who famously took on obesity by eating only fast food in "Super Size Me." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/16/AR2005121601711.html

11. Missed most of it but will watch the return. |
|
A good program on PBS right now.."Debating Ronald Reagan"s success as a matter of charm or public"
Some pretty scathing stuff that the right wingers won't like.
