Scientific Inanity

T-Bolt finds Yet Another anti-gun article in Scientific American.  He ponders:
Just a quick skim at work and a citation with the familiar name Kellerman jumped out at me and I closed the webpage after copying the URL. Didn't skim for a second cite. I'll wait for someone else to pick it apart and enjoy their efforts.
More scientific fraud in Scientific American?  Knock me over with a feather.  And for those who think the word "fraud" is too strong, Eric Raymond did what T-Bolt asked for almost a decade ago.  ESR spends quite some time on Kellerman.

And as to Scientific American itself, even Hitler was on to them.  It's perhaps gauche to quote myself, but this was almost a decade ago and everyone had a clear understanding of what SciAm really was:
You have to watch all the way through to the end for the punchline. To understand just how brutal that punchline is, you need to visit Scientific American, to see their editorial response to ClimateGate. It's not the editorial which is brutal, but the comments - at least 50% of them are in the "Scientific American should be ashamed of itself" category.
This post is tagged "Biased Media" because, well, it's pretty obvious isn't it?

They went hard left over 20 years ago, which is when I quit reading them.....
