Data Quality Act opens doors to
psuedoscience DoS attacks 12/08/2003 01:07 PM
The Data Quality Act, which sets standards for the quality of data used in US law-making, has turned out to be a great tool for forcing pseudoscience (asbestos isn't that bad for you) into the lawmaking process -- a way to filibuster the scientists by requiring them to disprove whatever woo-woo notions you want to raise.

As the testimony of former Clinton administration Energy official and George Washington University epidemiologist David Michaels shows, the guidelines are very troubling. Michaels' complaint is that under the guise of "peer review," industry sponsored or funded attempts to undermine good science are going to get a big boost. That's for a number of reasons, one of them being the key question of who will be doing the peer reviewing.

The current guidelines say that as far as peer review goes, scientists who have worked for government have a conflict of interest and can't participate, but scientists who have worked for industry have carte blanche. As Michaels puts it, the suggestion "that academic scientists are more beholden to public funding agencies than corporate funders is on face ludicrous." And there's more. The peer review guidelines play into clever industry strategies for using the system of science to advance their economic interests.

washingtonpost.com - Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry today delivered a scathing critique of President Bush's war leadership, charging that Bush's "colossal failures of judgment" and "reckless mistakes" have weakened U.S. national security, diverted resources from the war on terrorism and mired the country in a costly conflict in Iraq with no end in sight.

The last convention? 07/26/2004 12:44 AM
Will we ever do this again? Is 2004 the last year we're going to have national conventions like these? I just came back from picking up my credentials, which meant taking the T down to the Fleet Center, waiting on the wrong line, being directed by a series of five polite cops to the press office, and then being told that bloggers pick up their credentials at the Westin Hotel five subway stops away. My fault for not finding out ahead of time where to go. But the trip to and then around the Fleet Center was instructive, for...

At the next convention

At the next convention 08/05/2004 10:40 AM

Chris Casey of the Democratic News Service asked, on the Convention Bloggers mail list, what we would do differently for 2008. Here's what I say.

In retrospect, it would have been incredible to have a BloggerCon at the DemCon. Off the floor. A room packed with big Democratic icons, the candidates, the operators, the money, the press.

A discussion leader. Let's get to the heart of things. Let's explain to the folks at home how this really works.

We've shown you what the convention looks like to a hayseed in the big city. Now what does it look like from the insider perspective.

And by the way, it's cool that you're all so excited about blogs. Really cool. But what about your friends at the RIAA. They're not our friends. Not because we're pirates, but because we love the First Amendment, like Democrats do. The two positions are not compatible. You can't love blogs and love Hollywood at the same time.

But this iteration was great. Next time let's give the people what only they have. Power. Government of the people, by the people and for the people. Shall not perish from the earth.

Joe Gandelman responds to the LA Times commentary that takes us Convention bloggers down a couple of pegs. Joe points to the resentment journalists feel towards bloggers because we haven't "paid our dues." True enough. Bloggers who think that just because they got a free account at www.BlogYourAss.com, they can now displace professional journalists are seriously underestimating the skills, dedication and value of real journalists. (Yes, real journalists.) Of course there are bloggers who are as skilled and dedicated as any professional journalist. In fact, some are professional journalists. But most bloggers aren't. That's by no means a criticism. Most...
