Ecology and Biodiversity Environmentalism timetable 6 Dec 20196 Dec 2019 I prepared this for my students and thought others might like it. It’s a timetable of environmental law, politics, publications of note, events and disasters since Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in 1962. Enjoy and send corrections. Read More
Censorship The first casualty 26 Jul 2010 The increasing intention of western and non-western governments to censor the internet is usually put in terms of “child protection”, although it is very unlikely to be affected by censorship, merely by using uncensorable techniques like Torrents. But one has to wonder if the real reason is more to do… Read More
Politics Can Christianity be rescued from the crazies? 17 Sep 2009 Asks Frankie Schaeffer, son of Francis J. Schaeffer, the famous evangelical leader who is in part responsible for this mess, in this excellent piece by Rachel Maddow. Schaeffer starts around 6 minutes, but the entire piece is worth watching. Can’t embed, for some reason. Read More
I’m going to be cautiously optimistic. If I weren’t worried about manipulation of voting machines in key states I would be up where you are, but instead I will call Obama with 295 votes. Just enough to win.

Remarkably, it’s possible. Here, this guy has been the most accurate predictor I know for the past several elections: http://www.cookpolitical.com/
I’m afraid of being too optimistic. I certainly want an Obama win, and it’s certainly possible that it will happen, but I have this dread that Republican dirty tricks will win out.

I cannot do arithmetic to save my life. I should have said “364, three off, so there!” He’s got NC, and won’t get MO. I reckon three off isn’t bad when people like Susan, who is an informed Democrat on the ground, said 315. Mike got even less. I win the milkshake.
John, How do you come up with 367? According to CNN, two states are undecided. The total could be 349, 360, 364 or 374.
MO is still up for grabs per AP. That could make it 375, not my math error of 374. This could take weeks to decide. But I doubt the Supreme Court will intervene to settle this milkshake.
