The whole 'where are the women bloggers?' debate really is pretty tiresome. You boys just need to get out more is all. Flea, of One Good Thing (and occasionally Knife-Wielding Feminists), offers the best analysis & commentary I've seen. Or at least the funniest. (via Bitch, PhD).

And this one would be funny, if it were only funnier: Art Kaplan notes in this post on bioethics.net that one of the members of the President's Council on Bioethics, on Diana Schaub of Loyola College, arrived at her view that cloning and stem cell research are evil by watching Star Trek. You can read about it here.

This one isn't all that funny either. For more about what Horowitz is up to, check out his truly bizarre Discover the Network: A Guide to the Political Left project.

Oh, and PZ Myers, in response to a report that some IMAX theaters are refusing to show films about evolution or the big bang or geology (which might get protesters riled up), suggests in this post that establishments who do so should have the word 'science' stripped from their names:

"Make it a big ceremony—ranks of people in white lab coats standing at attention, the directors called out and publicly humiliated, burly guys with sledgehammers smashing the theater's marquee, and at the end, everyone formally turning their backs on the object of shame."

Meanwhile, over at Fafblog!, the mighty dictator Giblets is outraged (again!) that the IMAX documentary "Volcanoes" contained heresies against established Gibletsian doctrine. The film failed to acknowledge, for example, that lava flows are created by Oblos the Fire Monkey at the earth's core.

Well, duh.
