Jerry Coyne is multi-talented

My favorite blog is Why Evolution Is True, which is written by Jerry Coyne. Not only is he a terrific biologist and atheist -- he can write. This morning I found this on his blog:

While the caravan of science moves on, the dogs of theology bark but don’t tag along.

How can you not love a guy who writes sentences like that?

Visions make it all seem so cruel

That's the title of Pepe Escobar's latest column in the Asia Times online. I love this guy. He's part psychedelic, part blogger, part newsman from long ago. Gritty and real, that's Pepe Escobar. He has a regular column at the paper. It's called "The Roving Eye". If you haven't checked him out, here's your chance. It's a far-roving article about the Hopi, Navajo, American exceptionalism, Bob Dylan, spirituality and, of course, Mitt and Barack. Makes great Sunday reading.

Greenwald satire

I read Glenn Greenwald every day because he's what every investigative journalist should be: smart, logical, honest and penetrating. He says things no one else says and always stands up for what's right. Of all the bloggers I read, I most value Greenwald.

He's got a great satirical column up today. Give it a read. Satire is a great thing to do with one's anger, and no one does it better than Greenwald. The column is downright scathing.
