"Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

One-Two Punch
Check out PZ Myers' twin smackdowns from this past week, first of schmientist Scott Adams (yes, the guy who draws Dilbert), and a more generalized update of the intellectual criminals who keep trying to gum up the works with their proprietary brand of nonsense (which is apparently "better" than all the other available brands for the same reason my favorite brand of beer is better than your favorite brand of beer). Great stuff.
