James Randi Update
Good news! According to his website, James "the Amazing" Randi, who suffered a heat attack and underwent bypass surgery earlier this month is feeling and doing much better. If you don't want to be branded an asshole by future generations then you need to start working on your Get Well Card for Randi right now. Here's mine.
Once you've finished, send your card to:

Since The Amazing Randi isn't completely out of the woods yet, you might want to wait a week or two before you tell him that, apparently, everything that Bush knows about global warming he leaned from the guy who wrote Jurassic Park.
Huh?
As stated in this piece...
Bush is a dissenter on the theory of global warming. To the extent it's a problem, Bush believes it can be solved by technology. He avidly read Michael Crichton's 2004 novel State of Fear, whose villain falsifies scientific studies to justify draconian steps to curb global warming. Crichton himself has studied the issue extensively and concluded that global warming is an unproven theory and that the threat is vastly overstated. Early in 2005, political adviser Karl Rove arranged for Crichton to meet with Bush at the White House. They talked for an hour and were in near-total agreement.
While the blogger asks "what's the bigger outrage here: 1) That Bush didn't tell the public his real "dissenter" view on global warming; or 2) that Karl Rove set up a secret science advisory session for the president with a novelist.", all I can think is What? Bush read a book?
I'll be back either later tonight or in the wee hours of the morning with a rant.
