You would be surprised, did you know it, to know that Theodore Sturgeon used to write for the National Review. He and William F. Buckley respected each other, and Buckey respected Sturgeon — even though Ted agreed with Buckley politically not very much at all. But Buckley and Sturgeon could be — and were [...]

The congratulations are pouring in for Al Gore and IPCC in the wake of the announcement this morning that they were “jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today for their work educating the world about global warming and pressing for political action to control it.” In a brief public appearance today in California, Gore “vowed to use the [...]
